About
It’s unfortunate that more clubs don’t take the time to detail their history for the golfing public. Thanks to Morris Loewenstern, a member of the first foursome to tee off on the course, we know a little more about Tascosa Course at Tascosa Golf Club.
Mr. Loewenstern was kind enough to leave behind a few notes detailing things like how his playing partner on the first hole, Stanley Blackburn, hit the opening shot into the swimming pool, and how the second ball “exploded.” He also mentions that the club purchased the original 200 acres of land in 1954 at a price of $250 per acre, and that the original deed stated that the Humble Oil Co. had the right to drill for oil and gas.
Pampa-based Warren Cantrell designed the course, and volunteer groups manually cleared the land of rocks and debris. The original 10,000-square-foot clubhouse was built by member Dale Andrews, a local contractor, for a total cost of just over $200,000.
While not a long course, the fairways are lined with trees and the undulating bent-grass greens make three-putts a possibility. The course is loaded with bunkers, and high berms dot the fairways. The toughest stretch is holes 15 and 16–a long, testy par 3 followed by a long par 4.
Getting there : From I-40 west, take the Western St. exit and go north. Drive 4 miles to the course and look for the entrance on the left side of the street.

Great private course
Part of the Tascosa Golf Club, La Paloma is a great course to go along with the Tascosa course. Making this by far the best private complex around. The front 9 here is much easier than the back to me. Once you get in the back things get much tighter with houses, and hazards. Overall a great course. Hopefully in a few months all the dormant areas will be thriving.
Great private course
This is part of a 2 course private golf club..."Tascosa Golf Club". The Tascosa course, is very nice and can be challenging, with somewhat fast greens and lots of trees. Greens are great, fairways are dormant right now, will be great in about a month (warmer/summer weather).
Tascosa Country Club
Pro: The greens were rolling fast even on a nice day. Bunkers were everywhere on the course. Tee boxes were also in good shape throughout the course.
Con: The grass on the fairways seemed dead or dormant on the course. The annoying thing was the carts had to stay on the cart path at all times because of the fairway conditions. I wished they would let you take the carts out on the fairway to look for your ball.
