The Golf Club of Dallas (formerly Oak Cliff Country Club) was the last course designed by Perry Maxwell before his death in late 1952, and was finished by his son and collaborator Press Maxwell in time for the 1953 club opening. The course is a par 70 layout measuring 6,719 yards. It features a classic traditional layout with tight tree-lined fairways and small greens that put a premium on shaping the ball and accuracy over distance. During 2002, with Charles Coody's assistance, the course was renewed and slightly renovated, primarily to restore its purity as a Perry and Press Maxwell design.

The course hosted the Dallas Open, now known as the Byron Nelson Golf Classic, from 1958 to 1967. It is notable as the only place where a golfer has won a PGA tournament on his home course, when Sunset High School alumnus Earl Stewart Jr., who worked as a pro there, won the Dallas Open Invitational in 1961. The course was a private members-only club from 1953 until early 2012, when it became open to the public and operates as a semi-private facility.
