| Port Groves Golf Club -- Fun to play |
| Review by: R. Rose |
I played my first round of golf on this course in 1958. I played there the morning of my wedding in 1969. I moved away and did not play there again until 2004. It is exactly as I remembered it. A fun wide open course. There are a few scrub trees and some water on the course. The club house is not well stocked but the staff is Southeast Texas friendly. The greens are very small so it takes a good short game to score. It is a fun place to play and although it is a 9 hole course there are multiple sets of tees so the yardage will be different the second time around. |

| Review by: Denzil Brinley |
This municipal golf course is located in a beautiful neighborhood just across the river from downtown Dallas. The holes are very short so most people play from the back tees. The course is completely tree lined with numerous creeks/drainage ditches so it is very easy to lose balls. It is best to play with someone with local knowledge; otherwise, you will over/under drive a lot of holes. For example, the #3 is a short dog-leg up a very steap hill. Your drive should only be about 170 yards with a 9-PW to a narrrow, elevated (60-80' above your head) green. Or take the #4 par-3. The green is at least 60' below the tee box. Depending on the wind and temperature, you will play a PW to 7 iron. There are two holes on the back-9 where you can drive the par-4 greens. However, you can easily put yourself in trouble if you aren't dead-on with your drives. I really like this unusual, scenic target-golf course. |
