Classic coastal golf, Jun 24, 2004

reviewer: John M from Raleigh, NC

Beautiful course, nice greens, hazards that are hazardous. Shots are a little less difficult that the other two courses as Sea Trail, but this one is prettier. Lots of low coastal oaks with spanish moss, reminds me of the savannah sea island courses.

Ken McDonald Golf Course
"Good course for the money."
Played this course a couple of times last visit to area. Was always use to paying $70 plus at other courses. Was surprised and enjoyed this course. It just goes to show that you don't have to spend big bucks to enjoy a round of golf. Will be playing this course again when I come down this spring.

"Great Course"
Great course, provides a high level of skill. I recommend that everyone come play. The scenery is beautiful with lots of nice houses. The Director of Golf there is great and provides for all the golfer's needs. 5 stars for Greensboro Country Club

"Best Kept Secret In Texas"
I am a very experienced player who really enjoyed the great conditions and excellent design of this golf course. I later found out that it is a Bill Coore design. He is considered one of the best minimalist designers working today. The members of this course are hiding a real gem in Southeast Texas.

Ballwin Golf Course
"Ballwin shouldn't be ignored!"
I play this course regularly on a ladies league. It is consistently in great shape, with very challenging greens. The greens are typically in fantastic shape--better than The Bluffs by far! The pro, Dave is knowledgable and great for lessons for both beginners and those wanting to improve. I believe the only 'problem' is for the men following the ladies on their league days--we're trying to pick up our speed. You'll enjoy the challenges of the water(there is a creek/water on 7 of the 9 holes) and sand traps.
