Pecan Valley Municipal Golf Club

About this course
Pecan Valley Municipal Golf Club's Hills Course serves Fort Worth golfers from its location in the city's southern reaches, where the terrain begins to show the rolling character typical of north-central Texas. Designed by Dave Bennett and Ralph Plummer, the course works with the natural elevation changes and native vegetation that give this part of Tarrant County its distinctive landscape. The routing takes advantage of the property's topography, with holes that move through stands of mature pecan and oak trees while incorporating the slopes and ridges that define the playing corridors. As a municipal facility, Pecan Valley provides accessible public golf in a market where the game has deep roots stretching back to Colonial Country Club and other established private clubs. The Hills Course represents Fort Worth's commitment to maintaining quality municipal golf options for residents and visitors. The layout offers variety through its use of the land's movement, requiring golfers to manage uphill and downhill lies while navigating tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy off the tee. The course operates within the broader Pecan Valley complex, which has served the Fort Worth community for decades as a destination for everyday play, junior programs, and local competitive events. The design reflects the practical considerations of municipal golf—playable for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough challenge to keep regular players engaged throughout the season.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Pecan Valley Municipal Golf Club begin at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), roughly thirty minutes north via Interstate 35W, though Fort Worth's smaller Meacham International serves private aviation with direct access to the city's south side. The drive descends from the sprawling Metroplex into older Fort Worth neighborhoods, where the urban grid softens and the land begins to roll gently toward the Trinity River bottomlands. Pecan Valley itself sits tucked along Riverside Drive in a surprisingly secluded corridor of mature hardwoods and quiet residential streets, the transition from highway to tree-canopied parkland feeling almost abrupt - a municipal treasure hiding in plain sight just minutes from downtown's western edge.
