Comanche Trail boasts that it's the only "rolling hills" course in West Texas. Nestled in the hills just south of town, this course has tight, hilly fairways and bent grass greens. Given the variations in elevation, it is actually quite scenic compared to other courses in this region. No. 7 is the signature hole, a 537-yard, par-5 that features a great view of the entire back nine.
Just a word of caution regarding the opinion of some golfers we talked to in Big Spring. While some were satisfied with the course, others complained of the value, stating that the green fee is overpriced considering the condition. One golfer complained of dry fairways, the poor shape of the greens, roots sprouting on greens, and rocks throughout the course.
Getting there : Located south of town on US 87. Take the Comanche Trail Park exit and follow the signs to the course.

Reader Ratings / Reviews
- The course is only in its 2nd year since being totally redesigned and it will get better each year. As with all courses in West Texas water is the main problem, there just isn't enough. The greens are excellent for their age with lots of severe break if the pins are in the tough locations. The new clubhouse was completed in spring of 2010. Fees run around $25 weekdays and $35 weekends which includes newer electric cart. Overall, this is an excellent value. Tee times required for weekends.
