Willowbrook Country Club

Willowbrook dates back to the 1950s, when Ralph Plummer came through to put his mark on Tyler golf. In 1980, Joe Finger came along for a redesign of this hilly, tree-lined course.

The design features fairways of average width, water on only a few holes, and fairly prominent bunkering. Play it smart and take an extra club on most approaches because of the elevated greens.

The most difficult hole is the 500-yard No. 16, a par 5 that forces two carries over water hazards and a green that is covered by bunkers.

Getting there : From I-20, take Hwy. 69 south, then turn right on Loop 323. Turn left on Hwy. 64 to reach the course.
