Golf at Cottonwood Valley

I had the treat yesterday to play a round of golf at Cottonwood Valley, the club course of the Four Seasons Resort in Las Colinas (Irving). And let me tell you it was definitely a treat!

I don't golf as much as I would like to, with my work schedule, and such, so getting the opportunity to play a top notch course is always a blast. When I was full-time radio sportscaster I was able to play the media events for the Nelson, the Colonial, and, when the PGA made a stop in Abilene, the media event there. But I had never played Cottonwood Valley. Here's why I like this course:
1) I'm not a good golfer, but the wide, and fairly straight fairways make even my bad shots look good.
2). The rough isn't
3). How can you not love a green shaped like the state of Texas! (#1). and a sand trap that looks like Oklahoma!

Now playing at Cottonwood Valley is not the easiest thing in the world. It takes an invite, and just booking a stay at the Four Seasons doesn't guarantee that (now, you'll get to play TPC, which is, well, a tournament calibre course).

Bottom line.. if you get to play Cottonwood Valley, play it. It's definitely worth the money.

And if you find my 7 iron that I accidentally left....
