on Tanglewood's private 18 hole championship golf course. Completed in 1973, this challenging course was designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer and renowned architect Ralph Plummer. The 7,000 yard layout features large sand and grass bunkers, lush bermuda fairways, a complete practice facility and the only soyzia grass green in the country. Under the direction of Dr. Milton Engleke, and his staff at Texas A&M University Tanglewood became the first golf course in the United States to install soyzia on its greens. This new environmentally friendly grass uses less chemicals and water. It produces putting surfaces similar to bent with fast speeds and no grain. Come out and enjoy these wonderful new putting surfaces.
The course's front nine was designed by Joe Finger and was originally an Air Force base. The back nine is shorter and requires more accurate shot placement in order to hit its small greens. The wind is usually a factor here, so selecting the proper club to compensate for the wind's velocity and direction is an important part of the game.
Chickasaw Pointe Golf Club on Lake Texoma opened October 1999. This 7085-yard Championship layout has rolling hills, picturesque lake views, exquisitely manicured Bermudagrass fairways and Champion Ultra Dwarf greens. The par 72 course offers four sets of tees that give golfers of all skill levels an enjoyable time.
