The Brownwood area has zero executive courses, and you need to go all the way to Fenney to see 2 more. There will only be 2 more nearby. My guess is that they will add another championship course or two, which are not "free'. The ratio of "free golf" to residents south of 466A seems to be on a steep decline. Yes, you can play anywhere, but expect to drive a long way if you live south of Brownwood. The few executives there could be pretty crowded.
Sweetgum, Mangrove, and Palmetto are a five minute golf cart ride to Brownwood.
