Pecan Valley Municipal Golf Club

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.
