Henry Homberg Golf Course

Henry Homberg Golf Course in Beaumont, Texas, is a tree-lined layout where accuracy off the tee matters more than raw length. Several of the opening holes are short and reachable, but bunkering guards the approaches and the surrounding trees punish wayward shots.

The course opens with a short, straight par 4 whose green is fronted by a pair of bunkers, rewarding a well-placed drive with a short-iron approach. A par 5 doglegs to the right, with denser trees on the left making that the more penal side; its green slopes from back to front and is open in front, leaving the option of going for it in two. Another short dogleg-right par 4 tempts aggressive play, though the left-center of the fairway is the safer line, with two bunkers short of a relatively smooth, puttable green.
