Athens Country Club is an 18-hole, semi-private course that dates back to the 1930s. On this short course (5,873 from the tips), you’ll have the chance to hit short irons into every par 3, and have birdie opportunities at all four par 5s that play well under 500 yards. The front nine allows more room for wild tee shots, as it’s more wide-open than the back. The feature hole is No. 13, a 427-yard par 4 highlighted by a blind approach shot to the green.
Getting there : From I-20 drive east and take Hwy 19 south. Exit Athens Square, then drive west for one block and turn left on Prairieville Rd. At Park Lane turn right, and the course is just up the road.

It's very well manicured but has relatively few sand traps. It's only 75 miles from Dallas and is essentially a public course to out-of-Henderson County residents. Call first.
All of the par-fives are less than 500 yards and most of the par-fours are less that 400 yards. The par-five 18th hole is a tough, double-dogleg hole perfect for altering match results.
