Golf Club of Dallas

Press Maxwell came along in 1952 to mold this 171-acre tract highlighted by ancient oaks and Five Mile Creek into the Golf Club of Dallas, a course that hosted the PGA Tour’s Dallas Open from 1958-1962, then again from 1964-1967. Maxwell’s design features small greens and a few of the toughest holes in Dallas. Water hazards come into play on many holes, including the 176-yard no. 3. On the back nine, nos. 10 and 13 stand out because of their challenges. No. 10 doglegs left and requires a perfect tee shot to set up the approach into the tiny green. This approach is intimidating because of the creek on the left side of the fairway. The Golf Club of Dallas' 13th hole requires a 3 wood from the tips, playing 226 yards into a sloping green defended by bunkers.
