Three courses (Master's, Championship, President's) and one of the most impressive pool areas in DFW.

Our Review

Brookhaven has a trio of courses. The Master's is the toughest, the Championship a stern-but-fair test, and the President's is best suited for juniors, seniors, and beginners. A little something for every skill level. In addition, Brookhaven has one of the most impressive pool areas of any club in DFW — three pools including an adults-only pool, a splash pad for kids, 16 cabanas, and The Haven, an outdoor open-air bar. One of the best family clubs in the whole Metroplex.

Course History

Brookhaven Country Club opened in 1957 in Farmers Branch, Texas, founded by Robert Dedman Sr. as an affordable family-oriented club. It was his first project with ClubCorp, now Invited Clubs, which grew into the world's largest owner-operator of private clubs. One of the largest golf facilities in Texas at the time, the club features three 18-hole courses designed primarily by Press Maxwell, a founding member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects. Golf legend Byron Nelson collaborated with Maxwell on the greens in 1958 as his first course design project. The Master's Course, the most challenging layout, was updated by Jeff Brauer in the early 1990s with new bentgrass greens installed in 2002. The Championship Course received a renovation by Jay Morrish in 1980 and more recent work to improve playability. The President's Course offers a shorter, more accessible option lined by mature trees.

The club has hosted notable events including the 1975 Texas State Open and the 1972 U.S. Junior Amateur, along with other USGA competitions. Professional golfer Jordan Spieth grew up playing there. No previous names for the club or courses were identified.

The Courses

Master's Course

18 holesPar 72Est. 1957
Architect: Press Maxwell

The toughest track at Brookhaven — the most demanding test of the three, with longer par 4s and firmer greens.

Championship Course

18 holesPar 72Est. 1957
Architect: Press Maxwell

A stern but fair test. The middle sibling — still a legitimate championship layout without the punishing length of the Master's.

President's Course

18 holesPar 72Est. 1957
Architect: Press Maxwell

Best suited for juniors, seniors, and beginners. Makes Brookhaven one of the most inclusive multi-course clubs in DFW.
