Golf in Palestine

Palestine is the county seat of Anderson County in the East Texas Piney Woods, a mid-size East Texas city known for the Texas State Railroad excursions on vintage steam and diesel equipment and for the dogwood blooms that draw spring visitors. Anderson County is in the heart of the East Texas Piney Woods, with the Neches River and its tributaries defining the forested landscape of pine and hardwood woodland. The Texas State Railroad runs passenger excursions between Palestine and Rusk on vintage steam and diesel equipment through the East Texas forest. The community is a regional center for Anderson County, with medical, commercial, and educational services. Palestine is approximately 110 miles southeast of Dallas and 100 miles north of Houston, accessible on US 287 and SH 19. One course serves the Palestine community in the pine and hardwood terrain of the East Texas Piney Woods.
