Oak Cliff Country Club

The golf : Press Maxwell came along in 1952 to mold this 171-acre tract highlighted by ancient oaks and Five Mile Creek into the course that eventually became home to the PGA Tour’s Dallas Open. The tourney was held here 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, 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. No. 13 requires a 3 wood from the tips, playing 226 yards into a sloping green that is covered by bunkers.

Other notes: The first club pro to win a PGA Tour event was Oak Cliff’s Earl Stewart, who won the Dallas Open in 1961.

The details : 214-333-3595. 2200 W. Red Bird Ln., Dallas, TX 75232
