What to Expect
Texas National can be a good challenge for mid to high handicappers, but the different tee options mean anyone can have a good time here. The key is navigating the water hazards—keep an eye on your approach shots, especially on the par 3s where they can sneak up on you. The greens are generally in great shape, but be prepared for a bit of slope as they can roll out more than you'd expect. Also, make sure to bring your A-game on the front nine; it tends to be tighter and will test your accuracy right off the bat.
