About this course

Brook Hollow is where Dallas golf began, its pedigree established long before the city's sprawling reach consumed its once-rural setting near the original Love Field airport. This classic, pre-World War II design unfolds across gently rolling terrain, a parkland course that subtly tests players with strategic bunkering and mature trees. The layout favors those who can shape the ball, rewarding thoughtful approaches over brute power. Subtle doglegs and deceptively contoured greens require precision, not just length. A.W. Tillinghast originally sculpted this course, and it has been lovingly maintained, albeit with occasional enhancements over the years, to preserve its original intent. Brook Hollow has played host to prestigious events, most notably the Dallas Open Invitational, drawing legends of the game to compete on its hallowed grounds. While perhaps not as globally renowned as some of its counterparts, Brook Hollow remains a highly regarded club in the region, a sanctuary for those who appreciate the game's traditions and a tight-knit membership known for its understated elegance. Brook Hollow is known for its invitationals that are highly sought after.

Getting there

Brook Hollow Golf Club sits quietly in the heart of Dallas, accessible via Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) or the closer Dallas Love Field (DAL), each roughly thirty minutes from the club's tree-lined gates in the Preston Hollow neighborhood. Private aviation clients benefit from nearby Addison Airport (ADS), a premier business hub just north of the property, offering seamless ground transfers in under fifteen minutes. The drive from either major airport traces through Dallas's urban landscape before transitioning into the leafy, established residential corridors that define this venerable corner of the city - a journey that shifts from interstate efficiency to the quiet, oak-canopied streets where Brook Hollow has stood as one of Texas's most exclusive clubs since 1927.
