This traditional layout and one of the city’s oldest courses, established in 1926, places a premium on shot placement off the tees. There are opportunities for long hitters to cut off some yardage but not without risk of posting a big number. A true thinker’s course, originally designed by architect John Bredemus in 1926. In 1991, the course was redesigned by Carlton Gipson. Today the course’s dramatic elevation changes and rolling character – unexpected in a location so close in – have earned BraeBurn the distinction of being one of the few sites in Texas to be chosen to host both the US Open and US Amateur qualifying tournament in one year.
