Cypress Course at Sweetwater Country Club

Roger Packard came to Texas from Chicago in the early 80s to build what was originally three 9-hole tracks built for the LPGA and their Hall of Fame. Packard returned in 1990 to add a fourth nine, leaving the course with two 18-hole layouts.

Both are short courses that put a premium on accuracy. The Pecan Course is a more traditional and longer than the Cypress Course, with water in play on 12 holes. The Cypress Course features more mounding in the fairways.

Getting there : From Hwy. 59 south, take the Sweetwater Blvd exit and turn left. When you come to Palm Royale Blvd., turn right and drive a short distance to the course. The entrance is on the left.
