The Proving Grounds Golf Course and Driving Range At Long Cove

The Proving Grounds Golf Course and Driving Range at Long Cove is a 9-hole, par-27 short course spanning just 1,130 yards. A driving range complements the layout. With all par-3 holes, the course focuses entirely on the short game and iron play. The terrain follows the wooded, rolling landscape around Cedar Creek Lake, where oaks and post oaks frame the holes.

Located in Malakoff, roughly 65 miles southeast of Dallas, the course is part of the Long Cove lakeside community. Star Harbor Golf Club and Athens Country Club are among the nearby full-length options. The all-par-3 format makes it ideal for beginners, juniors, and experienced players looking to sharpen their approach shots and putting in a relaxed lake-country setting.
