Maxwell Golf Course

Maxwell is a great municipal course because it does not overwhelm the average duffer with difficulty. You can generally work your way onto the course at any time, and the greens, have the reputation of being in outstanding condition. The design team of George Williams and Garrett Gill has worked on the course over the years.

The 526-yard par 5 2nd hole is the number one handicap, but No. 10 is another long par 5 that is tough. Hole 8 is tricky, featuring a severe dogleg left and trouble on the right. The back nine features short par 4s and two par 3s that require only an 8 or 9 iron at the most. Finish strong on 18, as it is only 326 yards from the middle tees.

Getting there : Driving west on I-20, exit 83/84. Find the Buffalo Gap Rd. exit and head back under the freeway, turning right onto Industrial Blvd. Proceed to Treadway , then turn left. Stay to the right because the road veers onto South 32nd St.
