visit the city’s award-winning golf course, Squaw Creek. In
addition to a recent beautiful multi-million-dollar renovation,
the course is the home of the only First Tee program in Parker
County – a program that guides children through lessons in
character and citizenship using golf. The course opened their

kind in the country, which provides even more opportunities

Fame members, and a silent and live auction with one-of-akind
Dallas Cowboys and NFL memorabilia.

Association tournament which brings the top youth golfers
from around the country to Willow Park. These golfers are
the best of the best in youth golf – their tournament not
only helps them to qualify for college scholarships, but raises
money for local non-profits. In the case of the Squaw Creek
tournament, it raises money for the First Tee program.
