Texas Golf Guide

When you think of Texas Golf, you have to think big! With great golf stops like Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, Texas can offer up some of the best golf vacation packages in the nation. Golf is king here, with 1000+ courses make up the landscape of this sprawling state. Although this has been a well-kept secret in the past, recent years have seen an increasing number of vacationing golfers traveling to Texas to take advantage of these world-class courses.

Like a scene straight out of the movie “Tin Cup,” several top-notch golf courses spring up from the West Texas landscape – seemingly in the middle of nowhere. However, although they may not be near any of the states major population centers, these courses offer unique and challenging layouts, as well as unmatched scenery. 

Texas hosts 4 stops on the PGA Tour:

· The Shell Houston Open, held in Humble
· The EDS Byron Nelson Championship in Irving
· The Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial in Fort Worth
· The Valero Texas Open in San Antonio

You can tee it up anywhere in the state, from East to West, North to South. While visiting the Panhandle Plains check out the Quicksand Golf Course in San Angelo. In the Big Bend area, there's the Painted Dunes golf course in El Paso, which is one of the premiere golf courses in the Southwest United States. You can also visit Marfa's municipal golf course. At 4,688 feet above sea level, it's the highest golf course in the state.
