About this course

Old Brickyard, carved from the red clay of Wilmer, Texas, reveals a stark beauty not often associated with the I-45 corridor. Its name, a nod to the region's brick-making past, hints at the working-class grit that defines the club's character. The original design, dating back to the mid-20th century, has been thoughtfully updated, retaining a classic feel while presenting a strategic challenge. Old Brickyard favors the thoughtful player, its fairways lined with mature trees demanding a strategic approach and its greens undulating subtly, rewarding precise iron play. One needs to bring their A-game from the tee box, as the course, while not overtly long, punishes anything sprayed offline. While Old Brickyard hasn't hosted championships of global significance, it thrives as a community haven. Locals compete fiercely in member events, with bragging rights often settled over post-round brisket and cold beer at the clubhouse. The club's unassuming nature is part of its charm; it's a place where the focus remains squarely on the game and the camaraderie it fosters. It’s where stories are made, not headlines. The course embraces its imperfections and its members embrace it just the same. A curious local legend persists: rumor has it the ghost of a brickyard foreman still roams the 14th hole, offering unsolicited swing advice to those who dare to listen. Whether fact or folklore, it adds a layer of unique character to Old Brickyard.
