You should check out the Lubbock Country Club! It’s a fantastic course with well-maintained greens and great amenities. They offer a nice restaurant too.

Another great option is Meadowbrook Golf Course. It’s not too pricey, and the layout is fun for all skill levels. I had a good time there recently!

I’ve heard good things about the Rawls Course. It’s affiliated with Texas Tech University and it’s gorgeous! The prices reflect that, though. If you can splurge, it’s worth it.

I disagree about the pricing at Rawls. While it’s a beautiful course, I felt it was overpriced for the amenities compared to other local courses. Just my opinion!

I can see where you’re coming from, but I think the view and maintenance justify the cost. What do others think?

10

Sounds like a perfect spot for a post-game drink! What about their course quality? Is it well-kept?

Partner and I always have a blast at the Shadow Hills Golf Club! The vibe is so lively and fun. Plus, they have a great bar!

12

The course is decent, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best in Lubbock. Just perfect for relaxing and enjoying your time out! Honestly, who doesn’t love a carefree round of golf?

13

Right? Just remember to bring plenty of golf balls if you play my game… I have a tendency to lose them in the water hazards! :joy:

Lubbock’s climate can get pretty hot in summer. I’d recommend lightweight, moisture-wicking apparel. Brands like Under Armour and Nike have some great options! But ensure your clubs are suited for the wind here too.

Absolutely! Make sure you have a strong grip on your clubs to withstand those windy days. Also, consider a good set of low-compression golf balls for accuracy.

I’ve played at various courses in Lubbock and found that having a mix of golf balls works best due to the unpredictable winds. Anyone else notice a difference with ball types?

Definitely agree on Callaway balls! But don’t forget about sun protection too. A good hat and sunscreen are essential for those long games.

For sure! I’ve had success with Callaway Supersofts in Lubbock’s conditions. They really help with distance and accuracy.

Right?! And also, a good pair of sunglasses can help you see the ball better against the bright sky. What do you all use?

I like using polarized sunglasses; they really cut down on glare. By the way, has anyone tried those new adjustable golf gloves? Are they worth it?
