Timarron Country Club

Timarron Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Southlake, a suburban community in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The course was designed by Byron Nelson, the legendary Texas-born professional who won eleven consecutive PGA Tour events in 1945, in collaboration with architect Baxter Spann. Nelson's involvement in the design reflects his deep ties to North Texas golf and his post-competitive career work on several regional courses. The layout opened in the late 1980s as the centerpiece of a residential development. The routing works across natural elevation changes characteristic of north-central Texas, with the course incorporating mature trees, water features, and strategic bunkering. The design emphasizes playability for members while requiring thoughtful course management, particularly on approach shots where green complexes feature subtle contours and surrounding hazards. Several holes play along or across water, adding both visual interest and strategic consequence to club selection and shot placement. Timarron serves as a private country club with a membership focused on family recreation and social activities alongside golf. The club includes additional amenities typical of suburban Dallas country clubs, with tennis facilities and dining spaces complementing the golf course. The layout provides a home course for members navigating the balance between challenge and accessibility that characterizes many Nelson-associated designs from this era in Texas golf development.
