We know not everyone wants to spend the entire time around the campfire, in the hot tub, or around the lake. Let us suggest a few "must see" things to do while you are visiting this part of East Texas. We have choices ranging from trying some of our world famous Pittsburg Hot Links or authentic Texas wine, to seeing our acclaimed first flying machine at the Texas Rural Heritage Museum. The kids can enjoy multiple splash pads or Disc Golf in the area. You can also go offroad and take your Jeep/dirtbike/mountain bike offroad on some great trails or swing your clubs at a local golf course. Check out our list below and pick out a few things that will fit your time and interests!
Princedale is an older, semi-private traditional layout set in the typical East Texas terrain of tall pine trees. The 9-hole "Princedale" course at the Princedale Country Club facility in Pittsburg, Texas features 2,858 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 36. The course rating is 25.0 and it has a slope rating of 113. Princedale golf course opened in 1928. Check out their page for special events they are having, like Night Golf and their tournaments!
The Mount Pleasant Country Club was built in 1939. The front nine project was designed by none other than Perry Maxwell. In 2002, the back nine opened. The restaurant and rest of the clubhouse are open to non-members who pay a green fee for the day.
Make an appointment and your guide will take you on a tour of the facility and tell you interesting facts about the animals you encounter. You will visit the "reptile room" (if you wish), and then move on to a walking tour where you will experience many animals from around the world. The tour will also include a trip to the scenic pond to feed the ducks and the tour ends with a visit to meet Buckit and Cyrus the camels, and a kangaroo encounter.
