Cross Timbers Golf Course

1181 South Stewart Street

The par-72, 18 hole tract winds its way through the hilly, wooded land next to Ash Creek in the “Cross Timbers” area of north Texas. The design takes full advantage of this unique topography, with multiple elevation changes that create a true “Hill Country” feel.

New Club Car carts offer GPS features to help players with yardages and distances, as well as showing the layout of each hole thus maximizing golfers experience on the course.
