We take pride in Cedar Crest Golf Course, a prime example of golfing heritage right in the Metroplex. As the first course in Texas to host a men’s major championship, the 1927 PGA Championship, its significance is paramount. The design by iconic course architect A.W. Tillinghast set the stage, and with thoughtful renovations by Tour player D. A. Weibring and Steve Wolfard in 2004, it continues to stand as a monument to golfing excellence.
