Carthage Country Club is a scenic little 9-hole country course that’s open to the public. While most of the holes typify basic, small-town golf (par 4s well under 400 yards, a very short par 3), there are two holes that can stand up to the most accomplished golfer. The number one handicap is hole 3, a long, 554-yard par 5. And you’ll need a fairway wood on hole 5, a 213-yard par 3.
Two sets of tees make for an 18-hole round. Pay once and play all day.
Getting there : From I-20 driving east, take Hwy 59 south to Carthage. Find Hwy 79 and drive east for 2 miles to the course.
