Tenison [1](https://www.tenisonpark.com/golf/tenison-glen #:~:text=became%20Dallas%E2%80%99%20first%20municipally%20owned%20golf%20course). Designed by Ralph Plummer, the par-72 layout features tree-lined fairways and White Rock Creek, which winds through the course [1](https://www.tenisonpark.com/golf/tenison-glen #:~:text=Ralph%20Plummer%20...%20White%20Rock%20Creek%20winds%20through%20this%20attractive%20layout). 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).
