ABOUT BENT TREE COUNTRY CLUB
Dallas, TX | Bent Tree Country Club is a premier, member-owned private club in Dallas, Texas, distinguished by an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and a culture of exceptional member service. Over the past six years, the Club has invested nearly $70 million in transformative capital improvements across the property—including a state-of-the-art clubhouse rebuilt in 2021—enhancing the full member experience across golf, racquets, aquatics, fitness, and both fine and casual dining.
The Club’s next defining chapter is underway: a comprehensive, Beau Welling–designed transformation of the 18-hole golf course and golf practice facilities. With the new championship golf course scheduled to open in late October 2026, Bent Tree is seeking an exceptional PGA Golf Professional who will lead the reopening and relaunch of a premier golf experience, positioned to be one of the Club’s most compelling differentiators in the Dallas market.
Fun and challenging, the course annually hosts an assortment of member tournaments for men, women, couples, and juniors. In addition, it has gained the respect of the LPGA by hosting their Mary Kay Classic for three years, as well as the PGA Senior Tour, by hosting the Reunion Pro-Am for three years, and the Bank One Championship for two years. In 2014, Bent Tree Country Club hosted the Women's Texas State Amateur Championship and the following year hosted the Men's Texas State Amateur Championships, as well as amateur events including the Texas Women’s Open, Men’s Texas Mid-Amateur, and the U. S. Open Qualifying. Champions like Tom Watson, Larry Nelson, Jan Stephenson, Don January, Orville Moody, and many others add Bent Tree Country Club to their impressive list of tour site wins.
Our Club’s Golf operation has garnered many awards and honors under the direction of David Price, Head Professional. David is a renowned professional who has served and co-chaired rules officials for all the major tournaments held in the U.S. and abroad. Among his various awards and recognitions, David has been the Professional of the Year by the PGA of America, holds the honor of being a member of the PGA Golf Hall of Fame, and the Texas Golf Hall of Fame. Our golf operation has also graduated 17 head golf professionals under his tutelage.
Not far from the success of golf is the tennis operation at Bent Tree Country Club under the direction of its Director, Chris Gale. This top-of-the-class operation has hosted tennis professionals like Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Arthur Ashe, Dennis Ralston, and Dick Stockton. Our indoor tennis courts have a unique presence in the city of Dallas and are a popular venue for our members and guests.
Early in its development, Bent Tree Country Club was envisioned not only as an exclusive family-oriented club, but also one that would attract the business and community leaders of Dallas as members. That vision has come true. Bent Tree can boast of chairmen and presidents from many of the Fortune 500 businesses, athletic figures from football to golfing greats, among several of the past mayors of Dallas and many others that make up the tapestry of the Bent Tree membership.
