Like most short courses Benbrook (9 holes) is more about the walk than the course. The cool thing about Benbrook is that it has lights so you can golf at night. I found out earlier this year playing at night is a blast. I didn’t catch Benbrook at the right time to play under the lights but I’ve got that in mind for next time! The course itself is a very simple design (think no bunkers and flat greens) and you shouldn’t expect much from the terrain. The land the course occupies easily could be home to grazing livestock! It is flat and has a pond in the middle of it. The most interesting thing about the course’s location is that it is close to Benbrook Lake, which looked like a fun recreational area! The best holes are probably two par-3’s that play across the pond – the 90 yard 3rd and the 65 yard 7th. All the other holes have a similar feel to them and most are fairly short. The longest holes are the 2nd at 138 yards and the 4th, which is 177 yards. The conditions were pretty good for $10. Each green had two flags so I could pick my target. I played the purple flags, just because I thought they looked cool! It didn’t really matter though which flag you went at, because every green was in great shape. As I’ve found on par-3 courses the greens are very small and require a perfect shot to yield a birdie putt!
