Bellville Golf Club

Bellville offers a decent little 9-hole country course with wide-open fairways and small, mound-shaped greens that can be extremely tricky at times, depending on the condition. As with many small-town courses, the funds just are not available to maintain the course up to championship standards, so conditions vary depending on the weather. The trick here is to get used to the target greens and deal with the conditions-otherwise you might miss a few make-able putts. But we do that under the best of conditions, so does it really matter?

One pond comes into play on holes 6 and 7. Despite the greens, the tee boxes and fairways are generally in good condition.

Getting there : From I-10 east, take Hwy. 36 north to the course about 15 miles away
