Arlington, TX

Texas Rangers Golf Club sits in north Arlington on the site of the former Chester W. Ditto Golf Course, a city-owned track that operated for decades before its rebuild. Arlington architects John Colligan and Trey Kemp led a 24-million-dollar redesign that reshaped routing, greens and bunkering, and the course reopened in February 2019. Branded through a partnership with the Texas Rangers, it plays as a resort-quality municipal layout with water in play on several holes, including a lake wrapping the fourth and fifth. It remains city-owned and open to public play. It also serves as home course for UT Arlington's golf teams.

Originally built in 1940 with WPA funding, the complex offers diverse layouts with varying yardages and difficulty levels. Facilities include a full-length driving range and a large practice green.

The 18-hole course hosted the USGA 1968 Public Links Championship and was a developing ground for professionals like Lee Trevino [1](https://www.tenisonpark.com/golf/tenison-glen #:~:text=Lee%20Trevino%20...%20host%20to%20the%20USGA%201968%20Public%20Links%20Championship). A redevelopment plan has been proposed to convert the course into a nine-hole layout due to erosion issues along the creek [3](https://cityofdallas.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?FullText=1&GUID=E84EC31B-CDFB-4FAA-A486-A91E4CAFBE58&ID=5391629 #:~:text=redeveloped%20as%20a%20nine%2Dhole%20course%20in%20an%20effort%20to%20offer%20a%20different%20product).
