PUBLIC GOLF COURSES

Experience the beauty of East Texas from the splendor of the green. Palestine and the surrounding areas are home to some distinguished public golf courses, including Pine Dunes Golf Club & Resort.

The rolling-to-hilly surface in this part of the country makes golfing a unique experience. The Gulf Coast Plain, located in the eastern and southeastern regions of Texas, extends approximately 50 to 60 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is characterized by thick pine forests and hardwoods, including oak, hickory, ash and magnolia.

Golfers can expect a true Deep South experience as they play through 18 holes amidst the piney woods. Just a short drive from the heart of Palestine, these championship courses are easily accessible and reasonably priced.
