Grapevine, TX

Grapevine Golf Course is a City of Grapevine municipal facility near Lake Grapevine in North Texas, close to Dallas-Fort Worth. The original 18 holes, now known as the Pecan and Mockingbird nines, were designed by Byron Nelson and Joe Finger and opened in 1979. A third nine, the Bluebonnet, was added in 1999 by PGA Tour professional D.A. Weibring's design firm, Golf Resources, bringing the facility to 27 holes with added elevation change and faster greens. The original nines have since been renovated with modern Tif-Eagle greens. The course is public and heavily played, hosting more than 65,000 rounds a year, with water hazards, tree-lined fairways and multiple tee options serving golfers of varied ability.

Scott Schreiner Golf Course, historically known as the Schreiner Municipal Golf Course, opened in 1924 as the Kerrville Country Club in the Texas Hill Country. The City of Kerrville acquired the property in 1934, making it the first and only municipal golf course in Kerr County, and later renamed it in honor of Scott Schreiner for his role in establishing the club.
