Venue

Rawls Golf Course

Lubbock, TX, United States

The Rawls Course, located in Lubbock, Texas, opened in 2003 and was designed by Tom Doak for Texas Tech University. The course was constructed by transforming a flat cotton field into an entirely new landscape. Doak moved 1.3 million cubic yards of topsoil and shaped the earth to mimic the land east and south of Lubbock where the great plain suddenly starts falling into the valleys and canyons leading to the Caprock region. The course spans 7,207 yards with a par of 72. The course features wide fairways and boldly contoured greens and is playable for golfers of all skill levels. Lubbock's strong prevailing winds figured prominently in the course's final design. The course provides wide fairways accounting for the often-present wind, but includes deep bunkers and complicated green complexes, providing a challenge to better players while being playable for all levels. Notable holes include the par-4 8th, 12th and 14th holes. Turfnet magazine ranked The Rawls Course the third best collegiate course in the United States, while Golfweek recognized it as the fourth best collegiate golf course in the nation. It is an NCAA championship course constructed through a major gift from Jerry S. Rawls.
