Golf Course Information

Live Oak Golf Club (formerly Diamondback National Golf Club) opened on November 1, 1999, and was designed and built by 1971 Masters Champion Charles Coody.  The layout seamlessly blends into the rolling terrain of Abilene, Texas, presenting a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. Designed with wide fairways, meticulously placed bunkers, as well as crossing Lytle Creek numerous times,  the course tests precision without sacrificing playability.

The 18-hole course spans a diverse landscape with elevation changes, mature oak trees, and pristine greens. Each hole is uniquely crafted, offering a variety of risk-reward opportunities, from long par-5s to challenging par-3s. Water hazards and strategically placed bunkers add complexity, rewarding accuracy off the tee and precision around the greens. Whether you're a scratch golfer or a weekend warrior, the layout guarantees an engaging and enjoyable round.

Live Oak Golf Club offers a balanced test of golf, with a Par 71 layout that plays to almost 7,000 yards from the championship tees. Live Oak Golf Club features the luxury of bent grass greens, a unique find on a public course in Northern Texas. Known for their smooth, true roll, these greens are typically reserved for high-end private clubs or cooler climates, making them a standout feature in the region. Their presence not only enhances the playing experience but also reflects our commitment to providing top-tier course conditions. Golfers will appreciate the meticulous care that goes into maintaining these premium surfaces
