46th Texas Father-Son set for July 14-16
Walnut Creek Country Club’s Pecan Course in Mansfield will be the host venue for the 46th Texas Father-Son, scheduled for July 14-16.
This will mark the first time the Texas Father-Son has been contested at Walnut Creek Country Club, bringing the championship to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the 2026 edition.
“We excited to bring the 46th Texas Father-Son to Walnut Creek Country Club,” said Duffy Suhr, TGA Tournament Director. “It has been some time since the championship has been in DFW and we think it will be a great championship. Walnut Creek has been great partners leading up to the event and we are thankful for their generosity”
Walnut Creek Country Club, which opened its Pecan Course in 1974, was designed by Don January and Billy Martindale. The par-71 layout plays to more than 6,600 yards from the championship tees and is highlighted by narrow fairways, native creek systems and elevated greens that create a stiff test for players of every skill level.
First held in 1981, the Texas Father-Son is one of the most well-attended events on the TGA’s annual schedule and is a longstanding summer tradition for many families. To make this unique tournament more accessible to players of all ages and skill levels, the 80 teams in the starting field are pre-assigned to one of five flights based on the players’ combined Low Handicap Index® over a one-year period ending on July 1.
The Championship Flight consists of 40 teams with the lowest combined handicap indexes and will play four-ball stroke play the first two rounds. After 36 holes, the field is cut to the low 20 teams (and ties), those teams continue on in the Championship Flight and will play combined score individual stroke play in the final round. The three-day total is the team’s score for the championship.
Teams not making the 36-hole cut in the Championship Flight will compete in the Presidents Flight and play another round of four-ball stroke play. The format for all other flights is 54-hole net four-ball stroke play.
Starting times and pairings can be found on the TGA Website. Live scoring updates and daily recaps will also be available online once the action gets underway from Walnut Creek Country Club.
At the 2025 Texas Father-Son, held on the Forest Course at The Clubs of Kingwood, Chris and Price Hill were crowned champions after severe weather forced the cancellation of the final round, with the Championship Flight decided on an 18-hole total. Cameron and Dean Brown finished second, one stroke back.
