Live Oak (formerly Diamondback Golf Club) opened on November 1, 1999, and was designed by 1971 Masters Champion, Charles Coody.
Live Oak Golf Club, formerly Diamondback National Golf Club, offers a unique "Hill Country" type layout rarely seen in West Texas. Designed by Masters Champion Charles Coody. Twelve acres of practice facilities, including approximately 75,000 square feet of teeing area, a 10,000 square foot practice putting green, and a 2,500 square foot pitching green with two sand bunkers, offer a great environment for improving one's short game skills.

The course gets quiet at the end of the day. The bentgrass is rolling true, the sky is doing its thing, and there's still enough light for a few more holes.

Bold outfit. Good company. Ready to attack the green.
That's a Saturday at Live Oak Golf Club. ⛳
The greens don't maintain themselves.⛳
A big thank you to our Superintendent James Crews and the entire maintenance team for the early mornings and the hard work that goes into keeping Live Oak Golf Club in shape.
Some greens make you slow down for a second before the putt.
This is one of them. ⛳
