Stewart Peninsula Golf Course

Stewart Peninsula offers a 9-hole course along Lake Lewisville with dual greens on every hole. On the first round, you’ll play from the red tees to the red flags, and on the back you’ll go yellow to yellow.

After a straightforward opening hole where the only real problem is a pesky fairway bunker, Nos. 2 and 3 start a trend of interesting holes. No. 2 offers completely different looks from each set of tees. The right side pin placement presents problems because of the lake, and the left flag rests close to greenside mounding that will send balls bounding afar. Misses here should find the bunkers, as the recovery is not all that difficult from the sand. No. 3 is probably the signature, and a 250-yard drive will put you in prime position to go at the multi-tiered green. Avoid missing back right, as the up-and-down is especially difficult from that side.

Getting there : From Hwy. 121 turn north on Main St. (Hwy 423). Drive to North Colony and turn left, then turn right on Stewart Blvd., which jogs left quickly into Acacia Trail. From there turn right on Cottonwood Springs and look for the lighthouse.
