Originally built in 1927 by Perry Maxwell and later updated by William Diddel and Floyd Farley in 1934, Woodbine Course is known for its generous fairways, large greens, and minimal water hazards. Woodbine Course provides a beautiful setting of mature pecan and oak trees to practice your putting strokes.
Pecan Valley Course
Built almost thirty years later in 1953 by Perry Maxwell, Pecan Valley boasts more mature trees, tight driving areas, and more water hazards. The front nine of Pecan Valley has recently been turned into a 9-hole course of par 4’s and 3’s for young golfers to enjoy as a First Tee Instructional Facility, but it is still available to golfers of all ages. And all ages will be able to enjoy the new driving range with grass hitting areas and practice bunkers near the practice greens.
