Course History
The course opened in 1938, designed by John Bredemus, recognized as the father of Texas golf. A Princeton civil engineering graduate who became the state's first resident golf course architect, Bredemus designed or contributed to numerous layouts across Texas and Mexico, including Colonial Country Club and Meadowbrook Golf Course in Fort Worth, Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, and San Angelo Country Club. Subsequent upgrades were made by Ralph Plummer, Bredemus's protégé and construction foreman on Colonial. Plummer, a prolific designer of over 100 courses primarily in Texas, served as president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects from 1962 to 1963 and created notable DFW-area venues such as Pecan Valley Golf Course in Fort Worth and Preston Trail Golf Club in Dallas.
