Golf in Texas: Complete Guide
Texas golf is as big and bold as the state itself. From the limestone bluffs of the Hill Country to the piney woods of East Texas and the rolling blackland prairies of North Texas, the Lone Star State delivers world-class golf in distinctly Texan settings.
Overview
With over 800 golf courses across its vast terrain, Texas offers an extraordinary diversity of golf experiences. The state has produced legends (Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite, Jordan Spieth) and hosts multiple PGA Tour events. Year-round playability in most regions makes Texas one of America's most active golf markets.
