The architectural firm of Ault, Clark & Associates, together with Curtis Strange as a design consultant, designed and constructed nine new greens, nine new tees, re-routed a few holes and added a new driving range. The fairways and greens are medium-sized, but do offer challenging play. A variety of mature trees, including pines and dogwoods, line a couple of holes on the course, and the greens are undulating. The signature hole is #2, a 146-yard, par 3, which requires a tee shot to carry a small river that sits approximately 10 yards from the green.

Holes: 9

Great for a short course, Mar 10, 2009

reviewer: Lance from Suffolk, VA

Great course for what it is, a practice course. On nice days, be prepared for slow play (it is a place for beginners). If you need lessons, I highly recommend the Pro, Bob Sutter. I can't talk highly enough about him.

Review of the Links, Dec 12, 2004

reviewer: Linda from Suffolk, VA USA

This is the best par 3 course I have played. It is a great place to hone your short game and iron play. It is a challenging little course. It is very well-maintained. You have to get there early if you don't want to wait in line. It's first come, first serve.

Great for all ages, Feb 02, 2004

reviewer: Curtis from Portsmouth, VA USA

Aside from this course being played regularly by Chandler Harper (PGA hall of famer), City Park has a great youth program practically year round. Also, the course is always in great shape and, although, it is a very short 9-hole course, it is very challenging.

Pebble Creek Country Club
"Not exactly what you'd expect in Aggieland"
Nice layout. Much of central Texas doesn't have the same topography that an Austin or San Antonio can provide, but there were plenty of trees and some slight uphill/downhill despite a generally flat piece of ground. We happened to play on a day when the weather was poor. The wet conditions had us as the only players on the course. The price seemed at little steep as the lone players - $65.00 which included cart, but no range balls. The carts did have plex glass wind shields which was nice for the late fall and early winter. The course was over seeded, which made the fairways and greens very nice. The greens rolled true. There is a lot of water in play over the entire golf course. the design on several of the holes didn't seem like it fit a traditional risk/reward philosophy. For example on #1 and #10 (both par 5's), hitting a second shot over the water would still leave you 40 or 50 yards from the green, where as a 6-8iron lay-up would still leave a wedge. (Maybe Michelle or Tiger could get there?) Numbers #9 and #18 seemed to be the same type example. Water creeps out across the fairway on number 9 - driver is a risky play, but anything less and you've got a 200 yard-uphill approach or so. (I will say lack of roll in wet conditions would have just meant a lesser club off the tee because carrying the water with a driver wasn't an option) Much the same applies to number 18, although the approach was a few yards less. A lot of sand and a lot of water with some skinny necks in the dog legs on some holes is the reader's digest version. Shop staff was nice. Grill was available and had good selection.

Nice course for the price. Well kept fairways and greens.

"great course"
LCC is a beautiful course with low green fees, and I have been a member for the last two years. There are challenging holes on the course and with the high altitude one can reach the greens in two or three shots.

"Nice Course....expensive"
Nice course, challenging but playable tee shots and fairways with a few nice elevation changes to keep it interesting. Lots of fairway bunkers. Too expensive and a bit of a drive from OC...
