Rockwall Golf and Athletic Club

Laid out along the wind-swept shores of Lake Ray Hubbard, Rockwall Golf and Athletic Club was designed in the late 1970s by Ralph Plummer, who served up his typical 7,000-yard-plus layout. Plummer's design involves the lake on five holes, as well as water on another seven. With its lack of trees, the main challenges are the water and the wind off the lake. Tees ranging from 5,500 to 7,200 yards allow an enjoyable day for any type of golfer.

Two holes stand out on the back nine, which is the most exciting since it rolls along the edge of the lake. No. 15 plays almost 600 yards from the tips and involves water on both the tee shot and approach. This one is especially difficult into the wind. No. 18 is a 452-yard par 4, again with water in play off the tee and on the approach. The lake that cuts into the fairway squeezes the landing area, and a fairway bunker guards the corner of the slight dogleg left.
