Where is the most appropriate course for someone who hasn't played in years, doesn't want to spend much money, and isn't worried about the condition of the greens, or fairways, or tee boxes, or much of anything else? Please don't list putt-putt courses because those dang fairways are too tight.

Indian Oaks in Kemp - 15 bucks for 18 holes and a meal

Webb Hill in Wolfe City. On a week day, $20.00 for a round and a cart. Great course with great greens and fairways.

I have no idea where you are, but one of the cheapest - not too bad courses - is Latex (9-holes) about 20 miles east of Carthage on Hwy. 79. A couple miles from the course you'll see a tall antenna on the horizon. It's in the middle of the course which is on the right. If you get to Bethany, turn around; you've gone too far.

You'll have to walk unless you bring your own cart, BUT the cost is $5.00 for week days and $8.00 for weekends. Even if it's gone up a couple dollars, that's still not bad if all you want to do is go out and play a round of golf. Hope you're close enough to enjoy it some time!

there's a 9 hole municipal course for sale in corsicana. not a bad course right on old hwy 75, been there for probably 80 years, ideal place for folks who can't belong to the country club there. lots of old oak trees and water, kinda fun to play.

Rolling Hills between Jacksonville and Rusk is $14.00 for green fee and cart.

Woodlandhills in Naogdoches about 45 with a cart druing the week!!! Love the course!! 4 big par 5 and 3 great par 3 holes!!

beaverbrook in daingerfield.

come over to my place,Gladewater Country Club, m-th 20.00 green fee and cart all day long, new 9 is still a little rough but is coming along nicely, the old nine is in great shape greens and fairways

There is piece of crap called Arrowhead behind the Trane company off of 110 south in Tyler. Its cheap because it needs to be. It was around 15 bucks the last time I played it. Don't know about now or even if its still open.

I basically learned to play golf on this course while I was going to Panola JC. For value, it's the best deal going. I've played all over East Texas, and I haven't found one that could beat it.

Heard Smoak's radio ad that discussed their green problems back in the Spring; they are working to address that.

Eagle's Bluff (http://www.eaglesbluff.com) was promoting a reasonable membership deal recently that was a good deal. The breakeven would depend on how many days per month you pan to golf.

I second this one. The hamburger is great, the course is fun and always in good shape. 27 hole course that is a great value.

This is a great course,i played it last week it was in great shape

I'll go along with this one, too. Played there MANY times and really enjoyed the burger.

overton golf course is a good place 2 play. its a 9 hole course 20$ green fee and cart for 18 holes on weekdays and 25$ on weekends their greens are kinda small and they are all elevated. family memberships are just 57 dollars a mounth

Cross Roads has a decent course that wasn't very expensive 3 years ago....

have any of yall ever played at pine springs golf course in tyler. is saw it on the internet and was wondering if it was any good

Try Twin Lakes outside Canton on Hwy. 19 south. It's about $24 for weekdays/$57 for weekends. It's one of the most beautiful courses in East Texas. It's open year round with twilight fees in the winter.

It's okay. I call it a feel good course. It's wide open on most holes but has a couple holes that are a little tough. IMO its a little overpriced for what you get but all in all not to bad. 38 dollars on the weekend with 9 holes that are lighted for after dark.

I played Oak Hurst Sunday for 26 dollars after 1:00 pm, Their greens are back after losing them. I think this is a better deal than PS.

Speaking of lighted after dark - it's kinda pricey, but the Divine Nine across from Alpine in Longview is a good course, or at least it was last time I played on it. I think they stay open until after 10 or so? It's down past the driving range.

one of my favorit places to play is LongviewCountryCLub i went there last week and the course is in pretty good shape it is the easiest course i played at to

If you are ever down this way you should play Wildwood in Village Mills just south of Warren.......

Although it's not a public course, I played Eagles Bluff on Saturday for $25, including cart. After paying $96 the weekend before for 2 at Oak Hurst, I considered it a good deal.

Athens Country Club....its about 18 bucks for 18 without a cart...its currently undergoing construction right now...so its going to be even better by octover 1st....very fun course not to hard and not to easy

It's not in East Texas, but if you want to play a great course, check out Turtle Hill just north of Muenster, TX (Hwy 82 west of Gainesville). #11 is the signature hole...you can see Oklahoma from the tee. Check out the web site http://www.playtheturtle.net/

It may be a bit of a drive, but if you love golf, try this one!

Thanks for sharing this one. It would be a perfect place to meet my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. She and I are always looking for new courses to "treat" our husbands to rounds of golf while we have our girls getaway. This would be a good halfway (okay 3/4 of the way) place for us.

i went to texarkana golf ranch last week and it is a very nice course

Be sure to go to the website and print out a discount coupon...BTW that picture on the front page is #11...
