Rated 4 stars by Golf Digest’s “Places to Play” for 2009, Split Rail Golf Club pays magnificent homage to the rich traditions of the birthplace of golf through its Scottish theme. The dramatically thrilling par 72, 7,353-yard links-style course was designed by Phil Lumsden with influence from some of the characteristics of the great courses in Scotland.
Offering a perfect balance of strategy and playability, the course features 419 Bermuda grass fairways, framed by an abundance of bunkers and mounds of tall fescue. The Champion’s Dwarf Bermuda Greens will have you testing your imagination.
While tough enough to test scratch golfers, five sets of tees enable golfers of all abilities to enjoy this unique design. Among the numerous tournaments held at Split Rail Golf Club were the Texas Golf Association Mid-Amateur Qualifier in 2008, 2011, and 2013, the US Senior Amateur Qualifier in 2008, 2010, and 2011, the 2009 US Amateur Qualifier, the 2014 U.S. Senior Open Qualifying, the 2015 U.S. Open Qualifying, and the Texas Golf Association Mid Amateur 2016.
