Lubbock Country Club ☆ Follow

Lubbock Country Club boasts the oldest and finest championship golf course on the South Plains, dating from 1921. The club's 160 acres was home to 18 golf holes by 1934, when new grass greens replaced the original sand greens. The course features par 72 with a length of 7067 yards. The design of the current golf course began in the mid 1950s by golf course architect Warren Cantrell and the classic, traditional overall look of the course has changed little since then. Redesign and renovation over the years was overseen by golf course architects George Williams (1995) and Craig Schreiner (2008).

Originally built as a golf, hunting, and fishing club, the course is laid out in uniquely beautiful terrain for this part of Texas, with rolling terrain primarily designed by Warren Cantrell, loaded with mature trees and difficult because of the wind and the multitude of long par 4s. Hole 9 is the layout's signature hole–playing along an old creek bed with a large cottonwood jutting into the fairway, this 430-yard hole requires accuracy of the tee and a long approach into a well-bunkered green.

The course has hosted many important golf events, including exhibitions by Walter Hagen in 1931 and Byron Nelson, the 1946 Texas PGA, and the Women's Texas Amateur Tournament of 1951, Men's Southwest Conference 1992 and the Women's Big 12 Championship 2000.
