Texarkana Country Club is a Private, 18-hole golf course in Texarkana, Arkansas.
Texarkana Country Club began in 1914 with a nine-hole golf course with sand greens. The firm of Langford and Moreau designed the current golf course in 1922. Mr. Langford is best known for his deep bunkers and sloping greens style. After a renovation in the spring of 2000, the challenging layout now measures 6,935 from the championship tees but has retained the Langford design's flavor.
Highlights of the course include gentle and subtle elevation changes, a beautiful lake on the front nine, meandering creeks on the back nine, tree-lined fairways, and abundant sand and grass bunkers. At one time, Hole #14 was considered one of the top eighteen holes in the country, and this beautiful dogleg-right par 4 is now referred to as “The All-American Hole.”
Golfing legend Byron Nelson served as Club Pro in 1934 before his outstanding PGA Tour career. Mr. Nelson would always practice on the TCC track prior to the Masters tournament, referring to it as “little Augusta” due to the many similarities between the courses.
Don Murphy served as our Club professional for 41 years and was instrumental in developing many players, the most famous being Miller Barber. Mr. Murphy was also inducted into the Arkansas Golf Hall of Fame.
