Twin Lakes - Canton, TX

[profsmitty]

Sad last days of a fine course are upon us. Twin Lakes will close at the end of July and return to its pre-golf status as a tree farm. I've heard stories about the reasons for this. But the why isn't really important. The course is privately owned. The owners don't owe us anything except a great round of golf. They did this and more every time I played there. I'll especially remember the first and eighteenth holes and their long carries over water are hard on a West Texas boy like me.

 

Good bye old friend. I've always believed that every course has ghosts that come out at sundown to relive the great shots, the happy camaraderie, and shared dreams of those who played there. They'll still be there. Unfortunately, they won't be joined by new friends. The days of Twin Lakes are numbered. If you had the pleasures of meaningful or just fun rounds or need to find a few, hurry. Time is very, very short.

This is sad! Such a well-regarded course with a pretty cool routing.

This is a great course. It is a shame it is closing.

 

There's a thread going in the Texas section as well.
