Copperas Cove's City Course Follows the Hills

On Golf Course Road, the name is doing real work. Hills of Cove is owned and operated by the City of Copperas Cove. The course follows the rolling northeast side of town instead of hiding from it. The nine-hole course opened in 1972; the city expanded it to 18 holes in 1999. Today it plays as a par 71 with five par threes, nine par fours, and four par fives.

That makes Hills of Cove a small piece of Copperas Cove identity: the town's rolling ground is built right into its city-owned course. It has a lighted driving range, a pro shop, lessons, and a grill at 1408 Golf Course Road, so people can stop even when they are not playing a full round.
