Split Rail Links & Golf Club — Linking Old World and New
I had never been to Aledo before last month, but it proved to be a very unique – and charming –place. There was an abundance of ranches dotted along the idyllic scenery, a llama farm with its residents out for display and a links style golf course tucked into the middle of all of it. […]
Rockwood Park — Resurrection of the Rock
Despite being nationally known as Dallas’ little brother, Fort Worth has its fair share of iconic spots: the Kimball Art Museum, Joe T. Garcia’s, the Fort Worth Water Gardens. The Stockyards alone are known nationwide. You can’t watch a professional sporting event without the obligatory return from commercial b-roll footage of longhorn steer click-clacking over […]
Hidden Creek Golf Course — A Hidden Convenience
When Hidden Creek first opened for play in 1997, it was a welcome addition to the south Fort Worth/Burleson community. Until then, residents of the area didn’t have many options if they wanted to tee it up. In the 20 years since, Hidden Creek has seen its share of rounds, to the tune of almost […]

Creek Course at Indian Creek — Carrollton’s Comeback Story
There are few images that, once seen, are hard to evade your memory. When I played Indian Creek this past month, the images from our July 2015 issue kept popping into my head. Indian Creek was, unfortunately, one of the courses that was put underwater during the historic storms in May and June of 2015. […]

Frisco Lakes Golf Club — A Local Gauge for Your Game
It’s no secret Frisco is rapidly becoming THE entertainment mecca north of Big D. As Arlington did in the ‘70s and ‘80s, this suburb is expanding faster than a black hole in deep space, as they seemingly announce another high-profile event and open another high school biweekly. The rapid growth can partly be attributed to […]
