About this course
The Rawls Course was built for Texas Tech on a flat West Texas cotton field in Lubbock, giving Tom Doak a blank canvas he took on immediately after finishing Pacific Dunes. His crew moved roughly 1.3 million cubic yards of earth to manufacture a rumpled, sandy-scrub landscape on ground that had no natural features at all. Constant South Plains wind is the defining challenge, working with firm turf and strategic bunkering. It opened in 2003, funded by an eight-million-dollar gift from alumnus Jerry Rawls, and serves as home to the university's golf programs. It is the rare manufactured course that reads as found ground.
