Big Spring Country Club
About this course
Big Spring Country Club sits on the western edge of Big Spring, Texas, a small city in Howard County roughly midway between Midland and Abilene. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Permian Basin region, where elevation changes and native scrub vegetation define the landscape. Water is scarce in this part of West Texas, and the layout reflects the arid environment with firm, fast-playing conditions and minimal irrigation beyond the playing surfaces. The club dates to the early decades of the twentieth century and has served as the primary private golf facility for the local community. The routing takes advantage of natural contours in the land, with holes playing across ridges and into shallow draws. Wind is a constant factor, as it is throughout the High Plains, and club selection often depends as much on prevailing conditions as on yardage. The course features small, firm greens that reward accurate approach play and local knowledge of how the ball reacts on hard ground. Big Spring Country Club functions as a traditional community club, hosting local tournaments and serving as a gathering place for members from the surrounding area. The facility includes a clubhouse with dining and social spaces typical of small-town Texas golf clubs. The course provides a straightforward test of golf suited to the climate and landscape of West Texas, where strategic play and wind management matter more than length.
