Golf has become a significant recreational activity in the City of Taylor with the development of two championship golf courses. The public courses, Taylor Meadows Golf Club and Lakes of Taylor Golf Club , originally were developed as successful methods of water detention and elimination of flooding. In addition to providing outstanding recreation opportunities, the courses add to Taylor's overall reputation and help to increase property values in the community.
Taylor residents receive discount golfing rates.
In addition, commercial memberships are available. The courses were designed by famed architect Arthur Hills, and are operated by the City of Taylor Department of Golf, Parks and Recreation. Taylor Meadows is a championship golf course featuring par-71 play from 5,160 to 6,049 yards. Taylor Meadows is a Scottish Links-style course featuring four sets of tees. The full service clubhouse has a large pro shop with the latest apparel and equipment.
