Be ready for number seven, a "mere" 200-plus-yarder highlighted by a beautiful pond ­ just don't let the scenery distract you!

IRVING. Expect trouble on this outstanding course. It boasts hazard-lined fairways and greens protected by gaping bunkers, so you'll want to hit the ball on target. With a number of stout par-4's and some demanding par-3's, the challenging par-70 layout plays even tougher when the winds blow. Be prepared for tricky putts because greens are large and sloping.

LOVE FIELD. Featuring a traditional Tillinghast design, this demanding course with relatively tight fairways and small greens requires that you hit the ball well to shoot a good score. To be in great shape, avoid trees off the tee, and accurately place the ball in the fairway to avoid being blocked out for the approach. Take advantage of early holes since they only get harder as the round goes on.

PRESTON FOREST. Immaculately maintained, this course boasts perfect greens. By finding putting surfaces on approach, you'll avoid many well-placed hazards, including lakes and bunkers. Don't get carried away off the tee either, because fairways are relatively tight and lined by a number of trees that can cause problems on the approach if your tee ball is off line. N.B. Green fees are charged only through member accounts.

HIGHLAND PARK. At this private course, overhanging trees line narrow fairways and often reach out and grab shots that are slightly off-line. Place your tee shots carefully because it's possible to be blocked out on several approach shots if you're on the wrong side of the fairway. To play this elite club, you must either be a member or be accompanied by a member.
