Shady Oaks Recreation Association Golf Course

Shady Oaks Recreation Association Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-70 layout that plays 6,245 yards with a driving range. The course is near Baird in the semiarid rolling plains east of Abilene, where wind is a constant factor and the terrain features gentle hills and mesquite scrub. The par-70 format creates a course that emphasizes accuracy on a moderately short layout.

Baird is a small town along I-20 in Callahan County. Premium pricing is notable for a rural location and suggests the club offers more than a basic country course. Diamond Back National Golf Club and Maxwell Golf Course in the Abilene area are within reach for additional rounds. Shady Oaks serves golfers in the eastern Abilene orbit who want 18 holes without driving into town.
