Weeks Park Municipal Golf Course

Weeks Park is a quality municipal course that has received recognition in the past as one of the best public courses in the state (Dallas Morning News rated it as the 14th best in 1994). The course features greens that putt true, wide-open fairways, and creeks that come into play on 16 holes. Avoiding the water is key here for a good score.

No. 1 is a drivable, 279-yard par 4 with water along the left side of the fairway. The signature hole is the 212-yard No. 8, which features a winding creek that cuts into the fairway and around the green.
The back nine, renovated by Jeff Brauer, starts off with another tricky par 3, where you’ll need to drive the tee shot over the water and into a green that slopes towards the drink. It is wise to keep the approach below the hole. The par 5 No. 15 also requires a tee shot over a creek, then into a dogleg-right fairway. The finishing hole is tricky (a 396-yard par 4) because it forces you to decide whether to lay up or go for it over the creek that crosses the fairway.

Getting there : From I-44, take Jacksboro Hwy south. When you get to Western, drive 2 miles to Lake Park Drive.
