Breckenridge Country Club

This semi-private club is known for being in great shape and offers a nice variety of holes, highlighted by a 625-yard par 6 hole (yes, a par 6), which is the only one of its kind in Texas. During the summer with a 20-30 mph south wind blowing in your face, you’ll need everything you’ve got to reach the green in regulation.

This course sports small, dome-shaped greens that take some getting used to. Your short game needs to be on or you’ll be sending chip shots rolling off the green. Water comes into play on seven holes. Two sets of tees offer a full day of golf. Pay once and play all day.

Getting there : From I-20 east take Hwy 180 east, and drive to Breckenridge, 58 miles away. The course entrance on the right side of the highway.
