Course Feature – Grapevine Golf Course
The City of Grapevine is known for many things. The Gaylord Texan, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, Great Wolf Lodge and Grapefest, which is the largest wine festival in the Southwest are all great experiences if you make it to this great suburb. If you are a golfer, Grapevine should also be on your radar. Of […]
Cover Story – Scottie Scheffler
Scottie Scheffler is yet another player on the long list of young PGA Tour phenoms that are from or live in the Dallas area.

After the Round – Poured
Wine is the adult beverage of choice for a lot of people. Whether you are a true connoisseur or just someone who enjoys a glass with a nice meal from time to time, wine is a great accompaniment to any dish. That being said, I fall into the latter category, as someone who predominantly partakes […]
Course Review – Rockwood
When we last visited Rockwood in Fort Worth, the course had just undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation compliments of local architects John Colligan and Trey Kemp. In the three years since, the course has thrived as one of the top municipal options in the Metroplex. Now, a recently completed new clubhouse becomes the final piece of […]

Course Review – Tempest Golf Club

At AVIDGOLFER, we like to keep our fingers on the pulse of local golf, especially when it comes to our local professionals.

After the Round – The Meat Board
A good butcher shop can be hard to find these days. Largely disposed of by large corporate grocery chains and membership-only big-box stores, the days of walking up to a small, independently owned meat counter and selecting your cut has largely fallen by the wayside. But if you are on Fort Worth’s west side, you’re […]

The 2021 AT&T Byron Nelson was at a new venue in McKinney’s TPC Craig Ranch. Most fans and players felt the course and surrounding area was a premiere location to hold a PGA Tour event. Not too far from the new Nelson digs sits a lesser-known dining experience that you might want to consider if […]
