PECAN VALLEY MUNICIPAL GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Fort Worth, TX, USA
Designed by Ralph Plummer

Pecan Valley Municipal Golf Club's River Course operates as a public facility in Fort Worth, designed by Ralph Plummer, a Texas-based architect who worked primarily in the mid-twentieth century. The course sits in the Trinity River bottomlands on the city's south side, where the flat to gently rolling terrain and mature pecan groves that give the club its name shape much of the playing experience. The layout follows the natural contours of the river corridor, with several holes running along or near the water and others framed by the native hardwoods that characterize this part of north-central Texas.
Plummer's design reflects the practical municipal golf philosophy of its era, providing straightforward golf that accommodates a range of skill levels while taking advantage of the site's natural features. The River Course shares the property with Pecan Valley's other eighteen holes, and together they serve a steady population of Fort Worth golfers seeking accessible daily-fee play. The pecan trees create defined corridors on many holes and come into play both visually and strategically, while the proximity to the Trinity River introduces occasional elevation change and water hazards that add variety to the round.
The course remains a fixture in Fort Worth's public golf landscape, offering a tree-lined alternative to the more open layouts found elsewhere in the region. Its location within the city limits and its municipal status make it a regular venue for local players and visitors looking for unpretentious golf in a mature parkland setting.
