Emerald Bay Country Club

The golf : A private club nestled along the shores of Lake Palestine, this scenic course features narrow, tree-lined fairways and large, elevated greens. Surprisingly, there’s not much water on the course, but three of the holes force a carry to the green.
The signature hole is No. 14, a 563-yard par 5 requiring a tee shot up a very narrow (20 yards wide), tree-lined fairway, then an approach shot over some oak and pecan trees to the green. The front nine features only one par 5–a 562-yard monster.
