Formerly Chester Ditto GC, the course at the Arlington, Texas property has been rerouted by architect John Colligan and includes improved turf, new water features, cart paths, new bunkering, and a new fleet of GPS-enabled golf carts. The clubhouse is under construction, with a scheduled opening in 2020.
After a $24 million total renovation, Chester Ditto Golf Course, located in Arlington, Texas, was reborn on February 18 as the Texas Rangers Golf Club – the only Major League Baseball-branded golf course in the world, NBC 5 out of Dallas-Fort Worth reported.
In January 2018, Arlington City Council agreed to take on the expense to rebrand the golf course, which is located about a mile from the Globe Life Park where the Rangers play their home games. C&RB reported on the start of construction in February 2017.
The 18-hole, 7,010-yard course has a new routing, designed by golf course architect and Arlington native John Colligan, according to the report. With a course rating of 73.7 and a slope rating of 132, the par-72 course is challenging.
In addition to the new layout, the course includes improved turf, new water features, cart paths and new bunkering, and a new fleet of GPS-enabled golf carts, NBC 5 reported. The club’s practice area has been expanded to 23 acres and includes a double-ended range, a practice hole and two short-game areas.
A new clubhouse is still under construction and will be open in early 2020, NBC 5 reported. It will have a new full-service restaurant and bar, with service on a patio overlooking the course, pro shop and locker rooms. A temporary clubhouse is available, with a fully stocked pro shop, some food and beverages, and restrooms.
