Tour 18 Dallas: Just imagine your prayer on Amen Corner

By David R. Holland, Contributor

FLOWER MOUND, Texas -- Jack Nicklaus once said Augusta National's No. 12, the scenic, but precarious 155-yard, par-3 over Rae's Creek, was the toughest tournament hole in golf.

• Golf courses in Dallas

Tour 18 Dallas is an ingenious compilation of the greatest golf holes in the nation, giving golfers the chance to play replica holes from 16 top courses.

• Lantana Golf Club
• Whitworth Course at Trophy Club Country Club
• Hogan Course at Trophy Club Country Club
• Bridlewood Golf Course
• Denton Country Club

Once you have played it you will know why and you don't have to go to Georgia - you can test it at Tour 18 Dallas .

As you walk across the Hogan Bridge and view the 10-yard wide landing area you will know why it's tough - most folks are going to play it safe, take too much club and bounce over this tiny green. And behind the hole is another surreal shot coming back if you don't go too far into the azaleas. That second shot will be downhill with the potential to reach the creek if you don't have deft touch.

Not only does Tour 18 Dallas have Augusta's No. 12, but it has Amen Corner - Augusta's Nos. 11, 12 and 13 - which are the finishing holes at Tour 18 and alone worth a day playing these famous hole simulations.

Actually Tour 18 Dallas isn't in Dallas. It's in the rolling hills of Denton County, 35 miles from downtown Dallas and 30 miles from downtown Fort Worth. Since it opened in 1995, Tour 18 has been a hit. More than 59,000 golfers a year play the course and play is so heavy in April, May and June that shotgun starts are used.

But everything hasn't been rosy for Tour 18. There was a tumultuous time when Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island, Pebble Beach in California and Pinehurst in North Carolina sued Tour 18 because it replicated their golf holes and marketed the names to draw golfers.

Tour 18 uses the following disclaimer in its literature: "Permission for simulating the original holes from these courses has not been given to Tour 18, nor do the owners of these courses endorse, sponsor, approve of, or affiliate with Tour 18."

The result of the lawsuit was a federal court's decision that blocks course developers from using the trademarks of more famous golf courses and resorts. At Tour 18 Dallas and Tour 18 Houston the red and white lighthouses constructed on the Harbour Town Golf Links simulations were removed and in the yardage book that hole is simply described as Tour 18 No. 7, instead of Harbour Town No. 18.

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit agreed they couldn't stop Tour 18 from copying the holes, but they could stop them from using the names of Pinehurst, Pebble Beach and Harbour Town in their brochures. But there are others who say Tour 18's use of the names would only help the plaintiffs - that after a golfer plays a famous hole at Tour 18 he would want to play that course when given the chance.

Although the lawsuit slowed immediate construction of more Tour 18's, Mike Reeder, General Manager of Tour 18 Dallas, says talks are presently under way for expansion. The original was built in Humble, Texas, called Tour 18 Houston.

"We are in negotiations with the former owner and are looking at different sites - San Antonio, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Ventura County in the Los Angeles area, Washington, D.C. and Orlando," Reeder said. "There are a lot of people who want to play these kind of courses."

Reeder said Tour 18 Dallas will be introducing use of caddies as an amenity in the next couple of months. "We will also address the pace of play and try to improve that," Reeder said. "If we have to add some player's assistants we will. We are adding more fans for the bentgrass greens and will be redoing the bunkers."

Keith Fancher, Assistant GM, said: "Lots of people were skeptical about the Tour 18 philosophy, but others have told us this is a true test of golf. Some have even said this would be a great golf course just on its own, without knowing about all the famous holes. We like to think we give great customer service, from the bag drop to the end of the day, and that all the golfers will think they have had an upscale experience."

Managed by Arnold Palmer Golf, Tour 18 Dallas does something few courses do in the Dallas area - they overseed in winter wall-to-wall, not just tees and greens. The ParView GPS system is another first-class amenity.

"This is my second round here," said Jim Linker of Lewisville. "I like the feeling of playing famous golf courses, especially Augusta. And for me, one who has never been to these famous golf courses, it serves my needs. The course is in good shape in the summer, but you have to be patient with the shotgun starts, play can get slow."

A Capsule Look at the Other Famous Holes from the Tour 18 Dallas Yardage Book

Tour 18 No. 1 is a simulation of Cherry Hills No. 1 in Englewood, Colorado. Par 4, 401 yards. In the 1960 U.S. Open, Arnold Palmer began his final round seven strokes behind the leader. After driving the par-4 first hole, Palmer fired six birdies over the first seven holes. He shot 30 on the front nine and 65 for the round to capture his sole U.S. Open Championship.

Tour 18 No. 2 is a simulation of Baltusrol No. 8 in Springfield, New Jersey. Par 4, 374 yards. The "changing of the guard" took place at Baltusrol when Nicklaus outdueled Palmer to win the 1967 U.S. Open. His record score of 275 would stand for 13 years until his return to the 1980 U.S. Open at Baltusrol, where he shot 272. Baltusrol has played host to a record seven U.S. Opens.

Tour 18 No. 3 is a simulation of Doral No. 18 in Miami, Florida. Par 4, 435 yards. The 18th hole at Doral, known as the "Blue Monster," is consistently ranked as one of the toughest finishing holes on the PGA Tour. Two-time Doral Open winner, Raymond Floyd, describes the hole as the "toughest par 4 in the world. Players going for the championship will need to hit two perfect shots to this narrow green."

Tour 18 No. 4 is a simulation of Crooked Stick No. 15 in Carmel, Indiana. Par 5, 507 yards. In 1991, Nick Price withdrew from the PGA Championship at Crooked Stick. That gave the sixth alternate, John Daly, the opportunity to play in his first major championship. Little known Daly overpowered the veteran field and Crooked Stick to win his first PGA Tour event. The green is very unique - horseshoe- shaped with a bunker in the middle of the U.

Tour 18 No. 5 is a simulation of Winged Foot No. 10 in Mamaroneck, New York. Par 3, 195 yards. Winged Foot is considered one of the most difficult courses in the country and was the site of the 1997 PGA Championship. In the 1974 U.S. Open, Hale Irwin won the championship with a score of seven-over-par. Architect A.W. Tillinghast considers the 10th at Winged Foot the finest par three he ever built. Bobby Jones, Hale Irwin, Billy Casper and Fuzzy Zoeller have all won U.S. Open titles there. If you are above the hole the putt is almost impossible.

Tour 18 No. 6 is a simulation of Medinah No. 10 in Medinah, Illinois. Par 5, 582. Tommy Armour referred to Medinah as "an examination in golf, as fine a test of golfing as one could ever find." With a course rating of 77.3, the "Monster," as it has been appropriately named, has hosted numerous major championships including the 1949, 1975 and 1990 U.S. Opens and the 1999 PGA Championship won in an historic fashion by Tiger Woods over Sergio Garcia.

Tour 18 No. 7 is a simulation of Harbour Town's No. 18 on Hilton Head Island. Par 4, 470 yards. The lawsuit prohibited Tour 18 from using the name and made them remove the red and white lighthouse. A 200-yard tee shot down the right side of the fairway is required to carry the marsh and get the ball in position for a delicate second shot to the tiny green. Pars are a welcome score on this long hole.

Tour 18 No. 8 is a simulation of Oakland Hills' No. 16 in Birmingham, Michigan. Par 4, 409 yards. Gary Player tamed this monster in the 1972 PGA Championship. His 9-iron shot over a willow tree and a lake to within four feet of the pin is considered one of the greatest shots under pressure in golf history. With a great tourney history, Oakland Hills has played host to five U.S. Opens and two PGA Championships.

Tour 18 No. 9 is simulation of Sawgrass No. 17, the island green hole in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Par 3, 132 yards. This is the most photographed hole in golf. Architect Pete Dye designed this famous island hole to ensure that even the biggest of leads would not be able to "limp home." John Mahaffey called it "the easiest par 5 on the course." Sawgrass plays host to the Tournament Players Championship.

Tour 18 No. 10 is a simulation of Oakmont No. 3 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Par 4, 425 yards. Oakmont, established in 1902, has played host to 15 major championships, more than any other course in America. In 1973, Johnny Miller closed with a final round of 63 to win the U.S. Open. Miller's 63 stands as the course record and ranks as one of the greatest finishes in Open history. Many have referred to that round as "the best round of golf ever played."

Tour 18 No. 11 is a simulation of Southern Hills No. 12 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Par 4, 445 yards. The 12th at Southern Hills consistently appears on Golf Digest's list of Top 100 holes in the country. Arnold Palmer included this hole in his book of favorites. Southern Hills has hosted two U.S. Opens and three PGA Championships. this hole in a book of his favorite holes in golf. Robert Trent Jones called the view of the green "spectacular and frightening."

Tour 18 No. 12 is a simulation of Riviera No. 6 in Pacific Palisades, California. Par 3, 170 yards. In a span of 17 months, Fort Worth's Ben Hogan, known as "Hawk" captured two L.A. Opens and one U.S. Open at Riviera. From that time forward, Riviera has been known as "Hogan's Alley." The 6th at Riviera features the famous "warbunker" in the center of the green, paying tribute to World War I Veterans.

Tour 18 No. 13 is a simulation of Pine Valley No. 17 in Pine Valley, New Jersey. Par 4, 338 yards. One of the best holes at Tour 18 Dallas. Pine Valley is perennially ranked as the best course in the world. Designer, George Crump, became obsessed with the idea of constructing the finest, most difficult course in the world. Every fairway and green is set off by the sand and scrub that characterizes the region, effectively forcing players to play from one island to the next.

Tour 18 No. 14 is a simulation of Firestone No. 16 in Akron, Ohio. Par 5, 625 yards. The 16th hole at Firestone is one of the most difficult holes on the golf course. The pond in front of the green and its length of 625 yards makes it an improbable green to reach in two, but not impossible. Nicklaus and Daly have reached this green in two while competing in the World Series of Golf, an annual meeting of the globe's best players.

Tour 18 No. 15 is a simulation of Muirfield Village No. 17 in Dublin, Ohio. Par 4, 430 yards. Muirfield Village is regarded as "The Course That Jack Built." Nicklaus named the course after the Scottish links upon which he won his first British Open in 1966. Muirfield Village plays host of the PGA Tour's Memorial Invitational which is considered "The Masters of the Midwest".

Tour 18 No. 16 is a simulation of Augusta National No. 11, the start of Amen Corner in Augusta, Georgia. Par 4, 455 yards. This hole boasts one of the most feared second shots in golf. Hogan once said, "If you ever see me on this green in two shots, you'll know that I have pulled the shot." This is the first hole of "Amen Corner" where Tiger Woods birdied to propel him to a record score of 18 under par for the tournament in 1997.

Tour 18 No. 17 is a simulation of Augusta National No. 12. Par 3, 155 yards. Many Masters dreams have vanished into Rae's Creek guarding this tiny target. In the 1982 Masters, Tom Weiskopf came to this hole with the lead and left with a score of 13.

Tour 18 No. 18 is a simulation of Augusta National No. 13. Par 5, 485 yards. The 13th at the Augusta National Golf Club is the final hole of "Amen Corner". In 1937, Byron Nelson sank a 50-foot eagle chip here in route to his first Masters title. Tiger Woods used a driver and mid-iron in the 2nd round of the 1997 Masters to take the lead for good. Greg Norman and Curtis Strange call the 13th the greatest hole in golf.

My buddies and I played the course on Feb. 28th 2009. The course was in really good shape, the bunkers were PGA tour quality. Greens were a bit inconsistent in their speed, but they were in good shape. They still have problems with the slow play, the 10th tee box was 3 groups deep when we got to it. Just allow your self a good 5 hours to play the course to be safe. All and all, we had a great time, I would love to go back during the late spring, early summer when the landscape is green, especially Amens corner, the landscape was in great shape for those 3 holes.

Spotlight: Tour 18 Dallas brings the most famous holes in the US into one round

It looks like we’re going to get not one, but two looks at Augusta National within about five months from fall of 2020 to April of 2021. Tantalizing, amirite? Of course, watching The Masters on TV is exciting, but the chances of any of us actually getting to play the course and the holes of Amen Corner is a long shot.

Enter Tour 18 Dallas . It’s one of two Tour 18 concepts in Texas (the other is Tour 18 Houston) and features a collection of replicas of the most famous holes around the country from Augusta National to Pine Valley.

If you’re a fan of watching golf held on the grandest stages, you’ll savor the chance to take on some of the most famous holes in the world. Tour 18’s front nine culminates with a Sawgrass-replicated island green par 3, and the back nine wraps in thrilling fashion with the three holes that make up Augusta’s “Amen Corner.”

There are other replica holes from private clubs you may never get to play, including Pine Valley, Riviera and Oakmont.

If you’re a Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex golfer who hasn’t played Tour 18 Dallas in awhile, the course just reopened this fall following a greens project. They’re now brand new and rolling as excellent as the pro golfers experience week in and week out.

“Greens were much improved. Solid course with fun look at the best of the best,” wrote a Golf Advisor reviewer in October, 2020.

Tour 18 Dallas is located in Flower Mound, just north of Fort Worth and just off I-35 W. Facilities are built to tour-grade quality with a large clubhouse with locker rooms and a bar and restaurant overlooking the island green replica of Sawgrass. There is also a full practice facility and driving range.

What Golfers are Saying

The greens were very disappointing ... worst I have seen in many years

Wow, did they change ownership!? maybe a new greens keeper? What happened to this gem? Lets see, where to start, the greens were just punched 10 days ago but man in a word just terrible. The greens had to been running a 4-5 on the stimp meter, in comparison a regular muni course runs faster. The bunkers were even worse, some had standing water in them, notably #6 & 14. Played it in March and again in May, didn't seem as bad as now. save your money and time. on this day, I shot even par 72. From the blue... No 3 putts :)

I played the course on one of the hottest days of the year, 8/26/11. Consequently my three partners and I had little or no company on the course. We had a great time together. Unfortunately, I have nothing good to report about the course itself. It appears as a shell of it's former self. Drought conditions aside, it was poorly maintained. They had aerated and top-soiled the greens a few days before, but provided no info about this, either on the website or in the pro shop. The inside staff offered no discount to us and little or no welcome other than to take our money. I have played many of these theme courses prior and like the connection to golf's storied past, so the detailed inscriptions on each hole provided a needed respite from the poor conditions. This course in NOT worth playing, and certainly not worth the money. For $60 in the middle oef the summer, one should expect a well-maintained course and positive reception; we received neither.

Course layout is excellent and the replicas of famous holes come close to original. Everything about the course is fantastic except the greens. The contour of the greens if great but the condition is worse than you would find in a muni course. This would be the best course in the DFW area if they could find a way to fix the greens.

I'm fairly new to the golf game and for the most part, I have played on municipal courses or relatively inexpensive courses. With that being said, I recently got the opportunity to play @ Tour 18 for the twilight rate $45. In my mind, the course is totally worth the twilight amount. However if I was paying the usual rate of up to $95, it might be a differnt story (but i wouldn't pay that much anyway). The concept of the course is fantastic. I loved being able to play replicas of some very famous golf holes across the world. When I was at the tee off area of hole # 9, it really felt as if I could be playing in a PGA tournament. The scenary (which I put high emphasis on) was great. The course is full of $1 million + homes, which are nice to look at. The course has some nice hills. Teeing off on an elevated hole # 1 for example, it overlooks much of the course. There are nice wooded areas so you don't feel like you're playing on a suburban course. I loved the staff. The cart girls were definitely something to take notice of and they actually seemed to enjoy their job. They took a couple of minutes to talk to my group each time. It wasn't like they just asked what we wanted and left. The marshall on hole # 1 actually took about 5 minutes to tell us how the greens were playing and how to play certain holes. Now to the course itself. It seemed difficult to me but not to the point where I wanted to throw my club in the water. They have several holes with wide open fairways. Some of the holes like a couple of the par 3's require you to hit perfectly but overall I found the difficulty to be enjoyable rather than frustrating. Quality wise, alot of the complaints about this course have to do with maintainence. I didn't really notice the greens being in bad shape or the fairways being torn up. In fact, on a couple of the holes I even commented about how green the fairways were (we played in February). Amenities wise, this is your standard course. Nice clubhouse, decent driving range (range balls provided for free btw) In conclusion, I loved this course. Yes I am a newbie to the golf game but take it from me, if you get the chance to play there for the twilight rate, take advantage. For the regular rate, I guess it depends on how badly $95 hurts your pocketbook.

Tour 18 Dallas — A “Tour” of America’s Best

Just about every avid golfer has put head to pillow at least once in his life and dreamt about putting a tee in the ground at Pine Valley, hearing the sound of a well-struck iron shot echo through the hundred-foot-tall pines that cradle Amen Corner or hitting a shot out of Oakmont’s famous church pew bunker.

Sadly, for most of us, these dreams will never become a reality. Pine Valley, Augusta and Oakmont are places reserved for the mega powerful. The über wealthy. The upper crust. However, for less than a C-note, there is a local alternative, and though it may not be the exact same as walking through Butler Cabin on the way to the first tee, Tour 18 in Flower Mound is fun, challenging and allows even the average Joe to test his luck on replicas of some of the most famous holes in American golf.

When Tour 18 first opened in 1995, it was the bee’s knees. Everyone wanted a piece of the course. In fact, the demand was so high, they used a No. 1 and No. 10 tees shotgun start. In the 22 years since the course introduced us to some of the most intriguing designs across the American golf landscape, not much has changed. It’s still a thrill to see how you will fare on the island green from Sawgrass or the 18th at Doral’s Blue Monster.

No. 1 is one of the few holes the average golf fan may not be as familiar with. Taken from Cherry Hills, this hole is where Arnold Palmer drove the green in the final round of the 1960 U.S. Open to come from seven shots back and claim his only U.S. Open title. For those of us who weren’t around back then, this one is a downhill short par 4 and a great chance to put a wedge in your hand to start your round off right. No. 8 from Baltusrol and the always dangerous 18th at Doral come next, before you hit the first par 5 of the round: the 15th hole at Crooked Stick, better known as the site where John Daly burst onto the scene with his 1991 PGA Championship win as a ninth alternate.

Cue Winged Foot No. 10 and Medinah No. 10 before you come to the seventh hole, which uses the same water that was on the left side of the 18th at Doral earlier in the round. On the way back, that water now makes up the left side of the 18th hole from Harbour Town: a hole that plays a muscular 470 from the championship tees. Things don’t get any easier, as the eighth hole is a replica of the difficult dogleg right 16th hole from Oakland Hills.

As you turn back toward the clubhouse, you reach one of the most famous (or infamous) par 3s on the planet. The ninth at Tour 18 is the island green from the Stadium Course at Sawgrass. Mind you, this isn’t a tremendously long hole. In fact, it’s probably not much more than an 8-iron for the majority of golfers, but water surrounds the green on all sides, so anything just a little off is likely going to result in splashdown. If for some reason you catch this one on a breezy afternoon, expect some serious puckering, if you catch my drift. A severe undulation in the green makes even those shots that do find the putting surface tough to convert for a three.

Oakmont’s “church pew” hole and the 12th from Southern Hills make up Nos. 10 and 11. The 12th is one of the most interesting designs around, modeled from the sixth at Riviera, a par 3 that has a bunker in the middle of the green. A trip to the top-rated course in the country awaits at the 13th. Pine Valley’s 17th hole is not as recognizable as some of the others you see at Tour 18, mainly because this mysterious New Jersey track has never hosted a major championship. This hole has plenty of character, with a large waste area guarding the right side of the fairway and short of an elevated green.

Up next, you’ll stick a tee in the ground for the longest hole on the course: the 625-yard behemoth par 5 that replicates the 16th at Firestone. It’s a true three-shot par 5, but it’s relatively open, so you can swing away on your first and your second. No. 17 from Muirfield plays as the final buffer before the Amen Corner finish.

As you step to the 16th tee (No. 11 at Augusta), you really don’t get a sense that you’re about to play one of the most famous holes in golf. However, once you arrive at your tee shot, you’re reminded by the large white scoreboard just behind the water left of the green. The trick to this hole is being able to control your golf ball. If you find the fairway, the steep right to left slope will promote you rolling a hook right over into the drink. So, you essentially must hit a cut from a ball above your feet lie (for right handed players). If you walk away from this one unscathed, you need to buckle up for another fun experience, and that’s the 12th at Augusta.

This par 3 requires distance control. You need to carry a small creek, but too long, and you have a nightmare downhill bunker shot. Although the trees in proximity to this green don’t promote swirling, impossible to judge wind like the original, it’s still no cakewalk.

To finish the day, you walk to the tee box of “Azalea,” Augusta National’s signature par 5. One look at this hole, and you can see why lefties have so much success on this one. Your Bubba Watsons and Phil Mickelsons of the world can hit a mega cut around the sharp dogleg and get very little roll out of it. For righties, the hook you need to play around the corner can be hard to stop and can easily find the creek down the left side. The good news is, if you do find the fairway, you’re likely going to be 200 yards or less into the green. It’s a good opportunity at birdie to finish.

It’s no secret that greens across the Metroplex have struggled over the last few years. Multiple courses in the area have had difficulty maintaining their putting surfaces with the floods of 2015, and rogue heat waves and cold snaps left courses scrambling over the last couple years. Tour 18 also saw their share of issues, and as a result, the course suffered. However, after some TLC, the greens are once again in good shape and roll the way course management has always wanted them to. When we visited, the greens were in rock solid shape. They were lush, rolled well and certainly showed no signs of the struggles from mid-summer 2017.

The one lingering issue with Tour 18 is the bunkers, which could use a little updating. Luckily for fans of the course, management is in the process of securing a bid for a complete overhaul of the sand traps on the property. With an early 2018 green light projected, the new bunkers should be ready for play by the time the course starts to see consistent play in the spring.

Tour 18 may not be Southern Hills, Riviera or Winged Foot, but it is a ton of fun. It is a fantasy camp for adults. As a kid, I’m sure you always imagined yourself hitting that walk-off homer in the World Series or scoring the game winning touchdown in the Super Bowl. Think of this in the same vein, but now you can test your luck against some of the most discernable holes on the face of the Earth. Just try your hardest not to rinse a sleeve on the island hole.

Tour 18 Dallas

Address: 8718 Amen Corner Flower Mound, TX 75022 Phone: 817-430-2000 Website: www.tour18-dallas.com Designer: David D. Edsall Year Opened: 1995 Par/Yardage: 72/7,033 (Gold tees); 6,611 (Blue tees); 6,202 (White tees); 5,493 (Red tees). Greens: Bermuda Rates: Mon – Thurs $69 Fri – Sat – Sun $89 (Green fee, cart and range balls)

Toughest Hole: No. 10 (Oakmont No. 3) 425 yd. Par 4. This hole features arguably the most recognizable bunker in U.S. golf, this one is better known as the “church pew hole.” A massive gilled bunker of sand, earth, sand, earth, sand, earth guards the entire left side of the landing area. It’s so visually intimidating, you try your hardest to focus elsewhere. However, there are several bunkers down the right side that cut the fairway basically down to nothing. If you do manage to find the short grass, an awkward uphill second awaits to a large green that has three-putt written all over it. There’s a reason Oakmont is often called the “Oakmonster,” and this beast is a big part of it.

Favorite Hole: No. 17 (Augusta No. 12) 155 yd. Par 3. Okay, okay. So, sue me. I love the “Amen corner” finish at Tour 18. The 17th hole is a re-creation of what I consider to be the most famous hole in golf, Augusta National’s “Golden Bell.” Even though there aren’t gigantic pine trees framing the hole like in Georgia, you still get a sense of what the best of the best face when they stand on that tee box. It’s not a long par 3, measures just about 150 depending on the tees you select, but the intimidation is there. Narrow green front to back, the bunkers ready to collect anything long, and the creek that runs in front ready to systematically drown golf balls if they catch an inward gust of wind at their apex. It’s a cool visual, even though it’s not the real McCoy.

Tour 18 Golf Course Dallas TX

Tour 18 Dallas is based on an intriguing concept: the course’s 18 holes are replicas of 18 holes from some of the greatest and most historic golf courses across America. Sure, you could drive less than seven miles to the scenic Lantana Golf Course – itself beautifully stylized – but at Tour 18 Dallas, you will encounter holes made famous by masters of the sport. Only at Tour 18 Dallas will you get the opportunity to play a hole modeled on the famed island green #17 at Sawgrass, and holes 11, 12, and 13 from Augusta National.

Nestled in Flower Mound close to 35W, Tour 18 Dallas isn’t a museum or some gimmicky collection of greatest hits. The course is a unique golfing experience that will challenge even the most seasoned golfer. It’s also a proven hit. The original Tour 18 is located in Houston and opened in 1992. Tour 18 Dallas opened three years later, after it became clear to the owners that there was a considerable demand for courses that duplicated the experience of golfing on more famous counterparts.

The Houston and Dallas Tour 18 courses do share seven holes, including the three holes that approximate the experience of golfing on Augusta National’s illustrious Amen Corner. But, the topography of Tour 18 Dallas distinguishes it from its predecessor. Most notably, Tour 18 Dallas opens with the first hole at Cherry Hills, the hole where Arnold Palmer famously drove the green to win the 1960 U.S. Open.

But, the cleverly crafted course isn’t the only thing that makes Tour 18 Dallas distinct from its competitors. The picturesque greens offer incomparable 25-mile views of the surrounding area, letting you enjoy sweeping vistas as you golf like the pros. In addition, Tour 18 Dallas’s clubhouse – modeled on a stately Georgian mansion – offers refined sophistication for a refreshing drink and a relaxed meeting space for larger events. The U.S. Open Room accommodates up to 250 guests and features an adjacent deck overlooking Tour 18’s #9 island hole. Hungry from a day spent emulating Palmer and Nicklaus? Tour 18 Dallas provides a sumptuous buffet lunch, to ensure you are amply nourished after playing a challenging round.

Tour 18 Dallas offers golfers a distinctive experience and is sure to make a positive impression on your esteemed guests. To learn more about the course, plan a tournament or charity event, or schedule a special outing for your party, call Dallas VIP at 855-7DALLAS.

Tour 18 Review

Beautiful green expanses and calm waters are just the visual niceties one can expect to find at a well maintained golf course. At Tour 18 in Houston, though, there is far much more to appreciate than just the environmental beauties. This 18-hole expanse offers both resident golfers and their guests an assortment of eye-catching sites, a breathtaking clubhouse, and a level of skill that varies as the game moves from hole to hole.

Starting off with the basic par 4 1st hole, Tour 18 provides a good mixture of hazards and traps that challenge beginner and pro golfers alike. Where the first hole is a simple straight line form tee to green, hole 2 amps the difficulty with a water hazard that cuts well into the center of the course. This par 5 is vast, and even the most prolific of golfer's will find themselves having to cut around the water hazard rather than shooting over it. By the time they reach the 18th hole, golfers will have had every skill they may have tested time and time again. Halfway through the course, players are met with a par 3 that requires not only skill, but power. Separated by nothing more than a hazardous blue expanse, the 9th-hole may leave some wishing they had taken up tennis.

Novice golfers looking to learn some tricks of the trade or pro players with a desire to fine tune their game can turn to Tour 18's private instructions. For a reasonable price, one of the courses two instructors will take it as their personal goal to teach, in detail, anything from short game to long game. Techniques, tips, tricks – it's all up for the taking.

Beyond the course, Tour 18 is home to a pavilion that is beyond able to accommodate those large events. Corporate outings can be made so much less tiresome if held with Tour 18's expanse of green in the background. Turn it into an eating affair with the venues on-site catering. Turn your corporate outing into a friendly tournament with Tour 18's customizable events.

Even beyond corporate events, Tour 18's outdoor pavilion is more than capable of accommodating a mid-sized to large wedding. Up to 200 guests can be seated comfortably beneath this classically styled building, which offers views of the 9th and 18th holes. If the weather doesn't permit an outdoor affair, Tour 18 has an indoor dining area that allows guess the ability to gawk over the beauty of the 9th green.

Those interested in all Tour 18 has to offer should consider becoming members of this gorgeous course. One low price grants members access to the practice facilities and driving range, discounted pricing for the courses, and the ability to attend an assortment of free clinics. Memberships are limited, so get on the phone today to take part in this must-have offer.

Scottie Scheffler, from the course to jail and back: What to know about his PGA Championship arrest

Here's a breakdown of what happened to the top-ranked golfer on friday in louisville, by will graves | associated press • published may 19, 2024.

Two-time Masters champion Scottie Scheffler was arrested Friday after Louisville police say he dragged an officer while trying to get around the scene of a fatal accident ahead of the second round of the PGA Championship .

The 27-year-old Scheffler, the world's No. 1-ranked golfer, was attempting to get to Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, around 6 a.m. when police say he illegally bypassed the scene of an accident where a pedestrian was killed.

Scheffler was charged with multiple counts, including second-degree assault of a police officer and reckless driving. He was booked and had his mugshot taken before being released. Scheffler called the chain of events a “big misunderstanding.”

He returned to Valhalla in time for his 10:08 a.m. local tee time. Scheffler received a loud ovation from fans when he was introduced, then birdied his first hole of the day, the par-5 10th.

Scottie Scheffler eagles his first hole since becoming a dad

Scheffler's caddie takes a day off from the PGA to attend his daughter's high school graduation

WHO IS SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER?

Scheffler arrived at Valhalla this week as a heavy favorite following a run of dominance in the sport not seen since Tiger Woods' prime. He entered play Thursday having won four of the last five tournaments he entered, including the Masters — one of golf's four major events — last month at Augusta National in Augusta, Georgia.

The soft-spoken Texan is an unlikely star. He fell in love with the game as a child, sometimes hitting balls in the dark in northern New Jersey while his father, Scott, held a flashlight.

The Schefflers moved to Dallas during Scottie's childhood, with Scott Scheffler serving as a stay-at-home dad while Scheffler's mother, Diane, worked as the CEO at a law firm.

Scheffler played multiple sports growing up before ultimately settling on golf. He is hardly the only player in the family. His sister Callie played collegiately at Texas A&M.

He and his wife, Meredith, were high-school sweethearts and the Schefflers paint a portrait of a very unassuming life despite Scottie's jet-fueled rise to fame that began in 2022 when he claimed his first Masters title.

The process has only sped up over the last few months as Scheffler turned his gap over world No. 2 Rory McIlroy into more of a canyon.

Scheffler is an admitted homebody who prefers playing board games and relaxing by watching Instagram videos rather than indulging in the trappings of his success. He has won more than $61 million already in his career, including $18 million this season alone.

The Schefflers welcomed their first child , son Bennett, on May 8, leading Scottie to reflect recently on how his life has played out.

“I married my high school sweetheart and I always wanted to play professional golf, and now I’m here,” he said. “I was sitting there with a newborn in my arms and the green jacket in the closet. It was a pretty special time.”

WHAT HAPPENED TO SCHEFFLER AT THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP?

Scheffler was attempting to get to Valhalla for an early stretch/workout ahead of his second-round tee time, initially scheduled for 8:48 a.m.

A vendor working at the course was struck and killed by a bus just after 5 a.m. while trying to cross a four-lane road. Traffic was backed up in both directions heading into the course while police conducted an investigation.

Scheffler was driving past the scene at around 6 a.m. when a police officer told him to stop. Police say the officer attached himself to the vehicle Scheffler was operating. Scheffler stopped, and the officer ordered Scheffler out of the car before putting him in handcuffs.

Louisville police say the officer was sent to the hospital after being dragged “to the ground” and suffering “pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist” after Scheffler's vehicle “accelerated forward."

A spokesperson for Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said Saturday there is no police body camera video of the initial encounter between Scheffler and the officer. The officer was directing traffic at the time, and the department’s officers typically don’t record video with their body cameras while directing traffic, Kevin Trager, the mayor’s press secretary, wrote in a text message to an Associated Press reporter.

Scheffler was booked at 7:28 a.m. — about 2 1/2 hours before his updated tee time after the second round was delayed because of the fatality. He donned an orange jumpsuit and had his mugshot taken before being released. Scheffler said in a statement he never intended to break any traffic laws, expressed sympathy for the “tragic accident” and detailed the sequence of events that led to his arrest as a “big misunderstanding.”

The world's top-ranked golfer then returned to Valhalla just after 9 a.m., emerging from the clubhouse about 20 minutes later to begin preparations for his round. Wearing a white hat and quarter-zip jacket, he received an ovation as he made his way to the driving range, with one fan yelling “Free Scottie!”

There was a sense of normalcy as Scheffler went through his routine. Fellow PGA Tour player Brendon Todd greeted Scheffler by saying “good to see you." Todd then showed Scheffler something on Todd's phone, drawing a small chuckle from both.

Scheffler joined playing partners Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman at the 10th tee, with the gallery erupting when Scheffler was introduced. Scheffler's initial tee shot found the right rough, though he eventually stuffed his approach shot on the par-5 to 3 feet and tapped in for birdie.

By the time Scheffler was at the midpoint of his round, fans were already wearing white “Free Scottie” T-shirts as they stood behind the ropes a few yards away.
