The downtown Dallas skyline is visible from several spots on the Cedar Crest property.
Cedar Ridge
Fifteen native-born Texans have been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, a number surpassed only by England. The Lonestar State’s golf resume is extensive — with one exception. You have to go back to the 1969 US Open, at Champions Golf Club, to find the last time the state hosted a men’s major. In fact, Texas has hosted just six major championships since 1927.
Cedar Park Golf Course, site of the 1927 PGA Championship, is one of only two public courses in the state to host a major, and it won’t cost you a dime to play. At $50 for a regular fare, it’s definitely one of the best deals in the Metroplex.
Opened in 1919 and designed by legendary architect AW Tillinghast—former tour player DA Weibring and Steve Wolfard revamped the layout in 2004—the public course located south of downtown Dallas is a gem steeped in history, making that worthy of a place in our best courses you can play for $100 or less list, which debuted last week.

At 6,726 yards from the tournament boards, Cedar Crest offers a challenge to the elite ball-striker with rolling terrain, water hazards and fairways that place a premium on accuracy. Four other tee sets (ranging from 6,582 to 4,902 yards) ensure that players of all abilities have an opportunity to score and enjoy the round.
Dallas Parks and Recreation boasts several public courses with views of the Dallas skyline, and Cedar Crest is one of a select few. The course has an intimate feel as you wind your way through the property, but it’s always nice to know you’re only 10 minutes from the thriving city centre.
