The golf Chaparral is one of two 9-hole tracks in Dickinson-another basic layout with water in play on five holes and noted for its extremely narrow fairways. The average-sized greens make for good targets when the wind is howling off the coast.
At Chaparral they start you off with the most difficult hole on the course, a 375-yard par 4, followed by the longest hole, a 520-yard par 5. All told, the course offers a good combination of holes, and none of the par 4s are over 400 yards.
Getting there : From I-45 south, turn right Holland Drive, and the course is just south of Dickinson on Ave. J.
