Golf courses in Abilene, TX.

Abilene, TX

Live Oak Golf Club is located in Abilene, Texas, and was formerly known as Diamondback National Golf Club. The layout crosses Lytle Creek numerous times and moves through rolling terrain with mature oak trees, giving it a Hill Country feel unusual for West Texas. 1971 Masters champion Charles Coody, an Abilene native, designed and built the course, which opened on November 1, 1999. It features wide fairways, strategically placed bunkers and bent grass greens, a less common surface for public courses in the region. The course is open to the public and plays to a par of 71 at nearly 7,000 yards from the championship tees, with four sets of tees accommodating a range of playing abilities.
