Cedar Crest Golf Course gives Dallas golfers access to a course with a significant place in championship history. The eighteen-hole municipal layout hosted the 1927 PGA Championship and traces its design to A.W. Tillinghast. Later renovation work by D.A. Weibring and Golf Resources helped shape the course that visitors play today.
Rolling terrain, tree-lined fairways, and greenside bunkers make accuracy an important part of the round. Think about where your tee shot needs to finish to leave a clear approach. When a flag sits close to trouble, a shot toward a larger section of the green may produce a simpler putt or chip than an aggressive attempt at the hole.
The listed tees range from 4,902 to 6,726 yards, with par varying by tee. That range offers meaningful choices for golfers with different distances and experience. Review the scorecard before starting, rather than choosing by tee color alone. Selecting an appropriate length helps preserve the design’s decisions without requiring repeated shots beyond your comfortable range.
Cedar Crest’s appeal includes both its history and the opportunity to play a practical round. A visitor interested in golf architecture can notice how elevation, trees, and bunkers influence each target. A player focused on scoring can use the same features to build a clear plan. In either case, allow yourself time to assess a hole without slowing the group behind you.
The course is located at 1800 Southerland Avenue in Dallas. Check the official website for current reservations, green fees, and practice information, and contact the golf shop about carts or rental clubs. Confirm any event or maintenance restrictions when booking. Arrive early enough to warm up, check the day’s tee markers, and understand local instructions. Bring water and suitable clothing for the forecast. A well-planned visit leaves more attention for the course and the golf history surrounding your round.
