Provided by SuperpagesIf you are into playing an obstacle course as opposed to a golf course, this is your place.My son played a golf tournament here, and every hole was maxed out on distance. Par 5s over 600 yards, a par 3 of 240 into the wind, another par 3 of 230. What struck me is that not only does the course punish a poor shot, it may well punish a good shot, too. Too much trickery, ridiculously long. This isn't golf in my opinion.I suppose some golfers might find enjoyment with a set-up such as this, but the coaches and other players I visited after the round despise it.I am not sure the game of golf is winning any converts in a situation like this, but oh well.

Rawls is rated the second best public course in the state per Golf Digest. The course is BEAUTIFUL and very challenging. Built in a links style with beautiful native grasses.... challenging bunkers and rolling fairways. This is the one to play!!

More Info
- General Info
- The Rawls Golf Course is an 18-hole, championship golf course located in Lubbock, Texas. Through a major gift from Jerry S. Rawls, the NCAA championship course was constructed to serve as a home for the University of Texas Tech Red Raider golf teams, and a revenue-supported recreational venue for students, faculty, staff, donors and the general public. Rawls also offers golfers a 27,000 square foot clubhouse, locker rooms, meeting rooms, study areas, a pro shop and Jerry s restaurant/lounge. The course was designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Doak. The Rawls course Par 5, No. 18, is considered to be a Tom Doak masterpiece. Running along the 4.5-acre lake toward a small, well-trapped green, the link is arguably one of the finest finishing holes in the world.
