Champions Golf Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Champions Golf Club is a golf club located in Houston, Texas. The club was founded in 1957 by Jack Burke, Jr. and Jimmy Demaret, while in 1959 the Cypress Creek Course was opened for play, designed by Ralph Plummer. This course has hosted tournaments such as the 1967 Ryder Cup, the 1969 U.S. Open, multiple Tour Championships, the U.S. Amateur, and the Champions International, which was a PGA Tour event. There are 2 courses, Cypress Creek, and Jackrabbit. The Club boasts several hundred members with single-digit handicaps, a statistic that can be matched by only a handful (if that many) other clubs in the country.
