ABOUT THE CLUB
ABOUT THE CLUB
DALLAS, TX | Established in 1920, Brook Hollow enjoys a strong reputation as one of Texas' most historic and exclusive private clubs. Brook Hollow's Tillinghast golf course, has hosted championships of significance over nine decades including USGA Sectional Qualifying, U.S. Mid-Amateur, Southern Amateur, Trans-Miss Championships, Texas State Amateurs, Texas State Women's Amateurs, Texas Cup Matches, TGA Jackie Burke Cup Matches, NTPGA Joe Black Cup Matches and Senior Women's Invitation Matches. Brook Hollow is scheduled to host the 2023 Trans-Miss Amateur Championship which is now a part of the Elite Amateur Golf Series, a new alliance of seven Majors of Amateur Golf.
Beginning in November 2019 Brook Hollow commenced a total restoration of its golf course under noted golf course architect Keith Foster in order to return it to Tillinghast's original design intent. As part of the restoration of the course itself, a new computer-controlled irrigation system was installed, and the practice range and short game area were totally redone. The end result of the restoration is a golf course that is ranked 3rd in Texas per the Dallas Morning News and is sure to be regarded as one of the very best in the Southwest.
World-class facilities include a sports complex for tennis, pickleball, wellness and swimming, and a famed ballroom in which are presented some of Dallas' most memorable and fashionable social events. During the past 20 years, Brook Hollow has renovated or replaced substantially all of its facilities.
