Grand Oaks Golf Club

Grand Oaks Golf Club in Grand Prairie, Texas, was designed by Don January, born in Plainview, Texas, and a graduate of Dallas' Sunset High School. A professional golfer who won the 1967 PGA Championship at Columbine Country Club and secured 22 victories on the Senior PGA Tour, including two PGA Seniors' Championships, January was a member of the North Texas State University golf team that captured four straight NCAA Division I titles from 1949 to 1952. January designed around ten courses, primarily in Texas, with several in the DFW area such as Eagle Mountain Country Club in Fort Worth, Los Rios Country Club in Plano, and Walnut Creek Country Club in Mansfield. The course opened in 1972 as an 18-hole layout featuring tree-lined fairways, small greens, bunkers, and creeks amid century-old oaks.
