Briarwood Country Club
Since 1983, locals have taken on Briarwood Country Club's challenging 18 holes and have been rewarded with sunny and enjoyable rounds. This course was designed by Greg Nash, with tees that range from 6600 yards to 4533 yards, and it is meant to be a more leisurely course, one that doesn't penalize a good shot. You don't have to be a member of Briarwood Country Club to golf there either: if you sign up for the "member for a day" package, you'll get 18 holes of golf, a free cart rental and a complimentary lunch.

Corte Bella Golf Club
The Corte Bella Golf Club is the centerpiece of the Corte Bella private neighborhood. This is easily seen once on the course, as 1,650 of the neighborhood's houses line the fairways and greens. The course is over 7,000 yards long from the championship tees, and has bunkers scattered throughout each hole, with water hazards coming into play on holes 10, 12 and 14. Corte Bella is a members-only club but, depending on the season, it offers a day-member package which includes unlimited range balls, 18 holes, a golf cart and a voucher for lunch.
