Somerset at Twin Creeks Allen, Texas
Arnold Palmer has designed what he believes is his most ‘peaceful’ championship course at the Twin Creeks Golf Club. One of the lovely golfing communities on the course is the community of Somerset which was designed by the award winning Toll Brothers. The Twin Creeks Golf Course is set in a pristine wooded area with nature flourishing around and within the entire course and community.
Set on Twin creeks which snake along the course, the Twin Creeks Golf Club offers lush greenery, extensive landscaping including mature trees, and plenty of free-flowing water. A golfer of any skill level will want to take their time and enjoy the setting as much as they enjoy their game. The 18-hole course may move too quickly since the award-winning course offers so much more than a game. It is also said to offer golfers a tranquil peace of mind.
The championship golf course at Twin Creeks has been named one of the top public courses in Texas in multiple publications. Players can pay an affordable fee daily to play though tee times must be schedule in advance. The sloping elevation, natural wooded barriers, bunkers, and tight fairways offer excitement and challenge to the game. However, beginners may want to go to the Twin Creeks Practice Center prior to completing the course.
The Twin Creeks practice center offers plenty of ways for new golfers to learn how the game is played. Advanced and Intermediate golfers are able to improve their swing here as well. The center has a large driving range as well as a chipping green, large putting green, practice bunker and 3-hole practice course which is ideal for new players and children who are learning to golf. The Twin Creeks Pro Shop is nearby as well and players can sign up here for private instruction. One on one and group lessons are both available and any clothing, accessories and golfing supplies you will need can be purchased from the shop including the top names in golfing equipment and sporting goods.
There are many places to relax including the clubhouse and the dining facilities. The Elkhorn Bar and Grill offers a wide array of foods though as a whole there is a down home theme to the cooking. There are plenty of seats both inside and out where you can either catch the latest golf tournament on one of the indoor plasma widescreen televisions or a live game on the outdoor dining patio.
