Comanche Trail - Tomahawk Golf Course

Owned by the city of Amarillo, Comanche Trail offers 36 holes of championship links-style golf at a very affordable price.

The original Tomahawk course, which opened in 1990, features a drainage ditch that runs through the layout and impacts holes 2-7. There are no trees and the wind can really affect your round, but the fairways are generous and the large greens are welcome targets when facing a stiff cross wind. Watch out for the water, which impacts 14 holes.

Tomahawk’s signature hole is the dogleg-left No. 5. Playing it right to avoid the ditch spanning the entire left side of the fairway leaves a long iron approach. However, trying to carry the ditch leaves a short wedge into the green. Hole 9 is tough because of the narrow fairway and length (445 yards).

Getting there : From Amarillo, take I-40 east and get off at the Grand exit. Then head south for about 3 miles to the course.
