For the first time since 2005, a course other than Whispering Pines or Dallas National is No. 1 in Texas.
The name is unique — The Covey at Big Easy Ranch – and so is its meteoric rise in The Dallas Morning News’ 37th annual Texas Golf rankings.
The Covey, which just completed its second year of operation, climbed from a debut at No. 10 in 2024 to the top spot by vote of The News’ 81-member golf panel.
