Course Report
The course has hosted six Ben Hogan/Nike Tour events and prestigious state and regional amateur competitions.
About
Texarkana Country Club, established in 1914, features a restored Golden Age 18-hole course designed by William Langford and Theodore Moreau, with recent renovations by Ron Prichard. The course offers tree-lined fairways, sloping greens, and is recognized for its well-preserved strategic bunkering and classic parkland layout.
Caddie Tip
Positioning is crucial off the tee—avoid the deep fairway bunkers and focus on staying below the hole on the sloping greens. Approach shots often require precise distance control, and the tree-lined fairways mean shot shaping can help keep you in play. The greens are consistent but demand a delicate touch.
The Main Challenge
The greatest challenge at Texarkana Country Club is managing the classic parkland routing and avoiding the deep, restored bunkers. Subtle elevation changes and swaths of mature trees place a premium on shot placement and distance control, especially on approach shots into small, elevated greens.
The Good
Golfers praise the classic Golden Age architecture, beautiful mature trees, and the strategic use of bunkers and creeks. The course's restoration has revived its historical character, making each round memorable for fans of traditional parkland layouts.
The Not So Good
Some members note that summer heat can impact turf quality, particularly during dry spells, and that roughs may become patchy. A few wish for upgraded practice area amenities and further improvements to drainage in low-lying spots after heavy rain.
Signature Hole:
#
4
