A nearly 5,000-square-foot training center will be built this spring at Texas Rangers Golf Club in Arlington.
According to a state filing, the Crown Golf project includes the golf training facility and parking for golf carts. With an estimated construction cost of $1.5 million, it is being funded privately. The design firm listed is Arlington-based Terry R. Cunningham Architects, and the project has an anticipated delivery date of November 1.
The City of Arlington owns four courses — Texas Rangers Golf Club, Lake Arlington, Tierra Verde, and Meadowbrook Park. Crown operates a 23-acre area that includes a practice hole, a double-ended range, and two short-game spots “for all golfers.”
Debuting in February 2019, Texas Rangers Golf Club is the world’s only MLB-branded course, according to its website. It is the closest 18-hole course to Arlington’s Entertainment District.
“A $24 million project, Texas Rangers Golf Club involved a total renovation and updated routing of the existing golf course with improved turf grasses and additional water features,” the website reads. “A new 33,871-square-foot clubhouse, which opened in March 2021, features a full-service restaurant and bar, covered patio overlooking the golf course, pro shop, locker rooms, and numerous rental and event spaces.”
The course renovation by Arlington native, architect John Colligan, began in December 2016.
“The fairways are broad and playable, and the greens are large and golfer friendly,” according to the website. “The overall scale of the course is ‘Texas Big,’ and the 111,000 square feet of sand bunkers frame each hole nicely.”
Texas Rangers Golf Club extends more than 7,000 yards for low-handicap golfers and prospective college events.
