Texas Golf Courses
Texas has 761 golf courses, one of the highest counts in the country. The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex alone accounts for well over 100 courses, ranging from affordable municipals in Arlington and Grand Prairie to elite private clubs in Plano, Frisco, and McKinney. Fort Worth and the surrounding suburbs add another dense pocket of options. Houston and its sprawl through Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands form a second major market, with flat coastal-plain courses grown on Bermuda grass that stays green through the long southern summer.
The Hill Country between Austin and San Antonio produces some of the state’s most interesting terrain. Limestone ridges, creek beds, and cedar-dotted hillsides create sharp elevation changes that flat-state golfers rarely encounter. Horseshoe Bay and Kerrville are popular Hill Country golf destinations. In far West Texas, courses at El Paso, Midland, and the remote Lajitas Golf Resort near Big Bend play under desert conditions with persistent wind and firm, fast surfaces. The Panhandle around Amarillo and Lubbock shares similar wind exposure at slightly higher elevation.
The season effectively runs year-round in South Texas and along the Gulf Coast, where Corpus Christi, Brownsville, and Harlingen stay mild through winter. Summers in the northern half of the state regularly push past 100 degrees in July and August, making early morning tee times essential. Pricing spans the full spectrum: small-town nine-hole courses across rural areas charge $15 to $25, while elite clubs in the metros command fees well above $100. San Antonio supports a strong public golf scene with accessible municipal courses, and Austin has expanded its options as the metro has grown.
