2. Introduction
 Stacy Stine Cary draws on her diverse professional
experience spanning oil and gas administration, real estate,
and investment management to serve as a mentor at Tech
Wildcatters in Dallas, Texas, one of the top startup
accelerators in the United States. When she isn’t lending her
knowledge to emerging tech startups, Stacy Cary unwinds by
practicing yoga and playing golf.
Texas is home to over 800 golf courses, and approximately
half of them are open to the public, requiring no membership.
While it is only open to those staying at Barton Creek Resort
& Spa, Barton Creek - Fazio Canyons in Austin is one of the
best public courses in the state. Designed by Tom Fazio, it
combines limestone formations, rolling fairways, and a slightly
isolated location to offer a serene experience.

3. Public Golf Courses in Texas
 Other must-play golf courses in the Lone Star State include
The Rawls at Texas Tech, designed by prominent course
architect Tom Doak to give the illusion of elevation on a fairly
flat property. The course’s terrain can make wind a
challenging factor, but its detailed landscaping and
conveniently located greens and tees make it a great walking
course.
While may be a bit of a drive for some, located two hours to
the east of Dallas, Pine Dunes is a necessary experience for
any avid golfer. Developed by Jay Morrish, it offers few frills
but provides an excellent experience with its challenging yet
well-placed holes. The course’s numerous bunkers and pines
call to mind courses such as Pine Valley and Pinehurst,
Augusta, and with very few homes or other buildings nearby,
it is a great location for a relaxing round of golf.
