Crown Colony Country Club

Year in and year out, Crown Colony is one of the highest-rated courses in the state of Texas. The club hosted the Southern Amateur in 1987 and 2001, and the Texas State Amateur in 1982 and 1998.<br> <br> Designed in 1979 by Robert von Hagge & Bruce Devlin, the course is cut out of the East Texas piney woods. Narrow fairways and plenty of water define the challenge, and the course has a strong set of par 3's, including the all-carry 4th and 17th. The 17th, sandwiched between the reachable par-5 16th and the long 18th, each with a very narrow green, makes for an exciting finish. The course has five par 3's and five par 5's to make up its par of 72.
