Back in the 1970s, there was just a handful of public golf courses in the El Paso, Texas area and most of them were sub-mediocre, at best. Today, there still aren't a lot of options for the daily-fee player in the Sun City when you consider how large El Paso is (more than 700,000 people). But it has improved by leaps and bounds with a couple of real nice additions in the past 20 years.
