History

Brook Hollow is one of the original golf courses in Dallas, Texas. It was originally built in 1920 by golf course architect A. W. Tillinghast. [2] The founders of the club were inspired by golf course designs in the northeastern United States, with one founder being a member of Pine Valley Golf Club. [2]

In 2010, Brook Hollow was inducted into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame in the "historic course" category. [3] In 2019, golf course architect Keith Foster was hired to return Brook Hollow to its original design. [2] Renovations to the course were also previously done by Coore & Crenshaw. [4]

Tournaments

The Byron Nelson, known at the time as the Dallas Invitational, [5] was held at Brook Hollow in 1946, with Ben Hogan winning the tournament. [6] It has also hosted the U.S. Junior Amateur [7] and the U.S. Mid-Amateur. [8] During World War II, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby played an exhibition match at Brook Hollow to raise money for war bonds. [9]
