Detailed description

Odessa Country Club is a private, 36-hole golf facility located in Odessa, Texas. The facility has two 18-hole courses. They are The Old Course and The Links Course. The Links Course was previously named The Club at Mission Dorado.

Odessa Country Club - The Links Course was first opened for play in 1984. The Old Course was first opened in 1939.

Odessa Country Club - The Links Course, is a par-72 challenge that plays to a maximum distance of 7,229 yards. The course rating is 73.7 and the slope rating is 130

This is a links-style course perfectly suited to the West Texas winds. The course features mounded fairways and the style of fast greens suited to the more advanced golfer. In fact, the Nike Tour hosted a tournament here throughout the 1990s.

Odessa Country Club - The Links Course is a place where average golfers might enjoy themselves more by playing from the white tees. Even playing from the 6,660-yard blues, length is required off the tees and combined with the wind, the course can beat even a good golfer down. The par 5s are monstrous, and most of the par 4s will require long irons into the green.

The number one handicap is No. 3, which plays 585 yards from the tips and 560 yards from the blues. No. 17 is probably the best bet for a birdie, playing only 145 yards from the blues.
