As everybody knows, Northern Texas hosts some of the very finest golf and country clubs in the world. Here are just a few:

Sky Creek Ranch (Hidden Lakes, Keller, Texas)

Sky Creek Ranch, one of North Texas' newest golf developments, was opened in August of 1999 and already has the look and feel of a tour quality layout and facility. Designed by nationally renowned architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., son of one of the game's legendary builders, the par 72 public access course measures a very challenging 6,953 yards from the back tees. The 18-hole layout was the project of Oklahoma City-based Golf Club Partners, LLC, who brought in Jones to design this daily fee gem. He took full advantage of the lush surroundings and natural topographic beauty in Keller, one of the fastest-growing communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
