Golf at Northwood Club

The Northwood Club golf course is among the top courses in the Dallas area and consistently ranks in the Top 20 Golf Courses in Texas by The Dallas Morning News.

The Club hosted the U.S. Open in 1952 and has since been the location for several Regional USGA, local North Texas PGA, and AJGA tournaments.

Originally designed by William H. Diddel when the club was built in 1946, the course underwent a renovation in 1990 by Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf. Recently the club has retained golf architect Tripp Davis to design the master plan for Northwood's future renovation in the coming years.

Golf amenities include: 
 18 Championship holes 
 Practice Facility

The course plays to a maximum length of 6,868 from the back tees and has five sets of tees from which to choose. There are four ponds and three creeks that run through the property, with a total of six holes that have water that come into play. There are 47 greenside sand bunkers and 13 fairway sand bunkers.

The landscape consists of several Azalea beds, along with numerous ornamental and native beds. During the summer months, tropical plants are used throughout the landscape from Northwood's own greenhouse operation.
