The Links Course at The Odessa Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes The Links Course at Odessa truly a "links-style" experience, especially being in West Texas?

You'll find The Links Course delivers on its name through its firm, fast conditions and wide-open, windswept fairways, a true rarity for this region. The fescue-lined holes and strategic bunkering demand creative shot-making, making you feel like you've been transported to a coastal gem, despite being in the heart of Texas.

When is the best time of year to play The Links Course at Odessa, considering the local climate?

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) for the most enjoyable experience. The West Texas summers can be intensely hot, and while the course plays firm year-round, these shoulder seasons offer more comfortable temperatures and still plenty of wind to challenge your game.

What's the most memorable or challenging aspect of playing The Links Course at Odessa?

Without a doubt, it's the wind and how it dictates every shot-you'll need to master low stingers and creative approaches to score well here. The firm run-offs around the greens also demand precision, often leaving you with tricky chips and putts if you miss your target.

Is The Links Course at Odessa Country Club accessible to the public, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

The Links Course is part of a private country club, so public access is generally limited to guests of members or through specific reciprocal arrangements. If you're not a member, your best bet is to inquire about stay-and-play packages with local hotels or look for charity tournaments hosted at the club, which often open up tee times.

After a round on The Links Course, what's the best way to unwind or grab a bite at Odessa Country Club?

After battling the wind, you'll definitely want to head into the clubhouse for a well-deserved refreshment. We suggest grabbing a cold drink and a casual meal at the grill, where you can relive your best shots and enjoy the club's welcoming atmosphere.
