Peach Tree Golf Club

The golf : The Peach Tree Golf Club debuted in 1984 with their short, executive-style course, the Peach Tree Course. This simple track is popular with rookies and high handicappers.
In 1993, Carlton Gipson designed the highly acclaimed Oak Hurst Course, which has hosted numerous professional tournaments over the years. The Dallas Morning News has featured the course in their “Diamonds in the Rough” pieces about outstanding rural Texas courses.
Gipson’s design is unique in that every hole appears different, requiring all sorts of shots and the use of every club in the bag. Oak Hurst is also well known for its large, well-bunkered, undulating greens and water that comes into play on over half of the holes.
The number-one-rated hole is No. 10, a challenging 595-yard par 5 that welcomes golfers who’ve allowed their concentration to wane at the turn. However, the most-talked-about hole is the par 4 16th, which plays around 400 yards and has been rated by the East Texas pros as the most difficult in the region.
Note that the course hosts weekly seniors days on Wednesdays and Fridays.
