About this course

Trinity Forest Golf Club, nestled in the Great Trinity Forest of Dallas, is a deliberate homage to links golf, an anomaly in the Texas landscape. Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the course, opened in 2014, is a modern interpretation of classic design principles, emphasizing strategic play and a firm, fast ground game over brute force. The wide fairways are deceptive, often guarded by subtly contoured approaches and demanding green complexes. Players accustomed to target golf discover a new appreciation for angles and the art of bump-and-run. As home to the AT&T Byron Nelson from 2018 to 2020, Trinity Forest briefly hosted some of the game's elite before the tournament relocated. The course's undulating terrain and challenging wind conditions proved a stern test, offering a distinctive contrast to more manicured PGA Tour venues. Notable for its lack of trees, the open expanse of Trinity Forest forces golfers to contend with the elements and embrace a more creative, imaginative style of play, mirroring the challenges found on traditional Scottish links. While not steeped in decades of competitive history, Trinity Forest distinguishes itself with its commitment to growing the game. The club notably provides significant resources to the First Tee of Greater Dallas, fostering opportunities for young golfers and promoting the values of the sport. Its emphasis on charitable engagement and player development contributes to its standing within the Dallas golfing community. The club also offers a caddie program, embracing traditional course walking, and fostering a culture of deep appreciation for the game.

Getting there

Trinity Forest Golf Club is most readily reached via Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), one of the nation's busiest hubs, situated roughly thirty minutes north of the property; those with access to private aviation will find Addison Airport (ADS) a more intimate alternative, positioned just fifteen minutes away in the heart of the Dallas metroplex. From either gateway, the drive south traces a quiet descent through the urban fringe before opening onto the rolling terrain of southeast Dallas, where the landscape begins to shift toward the wooded, creek-fed sanctuary that defines the club's setting. The final miles wind through mature oak and hickory stands, a deliberate transition from the city's pulse into the serene, championship-caliber grounds of Trinity Forest Golf Club, where the architecture emerges as a carefully considered counterpoint to the natural topography.
