Dallas Country Club

Dallas Country Club is a country club located in the town of Highland Park in Dallas County, Texas.

It was established in 1896, purportedly by "by several men golfing on a cow patch in Oak Lawn." Tom Bendelow designed the golf course with the first round of golf being played in 1912. Golfers from the club, along with those from several other area clubs, formed the Dallas District Golf Association in 1948 to promote the game and tournament play in the area. The course was renovated by designer Jay Morrish. It is a par 70, 6,266-yard course. Dallas Country Club was ranked number 52 on the list of the state's best golf clubs, public and private, released in 2008.

    In another year I’ll have enough money saved. Then I’m gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and I’m gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf.
