City Of Fort Worth: Rockwood Park Ranked Among Top Public Golf Courses In Texas

Press release from City of Fort Worth:

October 22, 2021

Fort Worth’s Rockwood Park Golf Course was ranked in the top nine in a Texas Monthly article that selected the top public golf courses in Texas.

“Rockwood is exactly what a classic municipal golf course should be: engaging, modest, seductive and just plain fun,” the magazine’s review stated. Read the complete article. 

Earlier this year, Rockwood Park was ranked second in the state by a Dallas Morning News panel that selected the top 25 economy golf courses in Texas.

The original Rockwood Park Golf Course was designed by golf course architect John Bredemus, with subsequent upgrades by golf course architect Ralph Plummer. Beginning in November 2015, the course underwent a $5.1 million renovation led by the design team of John Colligan and associate Trey Kemp. The renovation included a new routing plan with new greens, tees, fairways, bunkering system, drainage and cart paths. The course was lengthened to play up to 7,053 yards.

This year, a new clubhouse opened at Rockwood Park. The $7.7 million clubhouse contains an upper level featuring a pro shop, grill, dining area and a multipurpose room. The lower level houses convenient cart storage and repairs.

Rockwood Park Golf Course is at 1851 Jacksboro Highway.
