1. FLATONIA GOLF COURSE 1245 E US HWY 90 • FLATONIA (361) 865-2922
9-hole regulation length course | Public golf course 36 par | 3,056 yards | Bermuda grass
The 9-hole “Flatonia” course at the Flatonia Golf Course facility in Flatonia, Texas features 3,056 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 36. Designed by Lonnie Garbade, the Flatonia golf course opened in 1993. Richard Schacherl manages the course as the General Manager. The fairways are narrow and the greens are elevated. Unlike many of the older rural, 9-hole courses in the state, Flatonia’s course is a little longer (over 3,000 yards) and the holes tend to play more like the big-city courses. No. 5 is the longest par 4 at 413 yards, and is listed as the number one handicap. Hole 7 is fun to play, a 114-yard par 3 that requires a carry over water to reach the green.
