Welcome to Champions Golf Club


Champions Golf Club, a staple of American dreams made real by founders Jackie Burke Jr. and Jimmy Demaret (1910-1983).  A year after his 1956 Masters victory in Augusta, Georgia, Burke opened Champions with Demaret, himself a three-time Masters Champion (1940, 1947, 1950), in their hometown of Houston, Texas. They enlisted fellow Houstonian Ralph Plummer to be the architect of the esteemed Cypress Creek course, which opened in 1959.  Five years later, the Jackrabbit course, designed by George Fazio, was constructed adjacent to the Cypress Creek course. In 2002, George’s nephew, Tom Fazio, helped update his uncle’s course design.

Over the years, Champions has achieved a well-earned reputation for hosting high-profile events:
1967 Ryder Cup  •  1969 U.S. Open  •  1993 U.S. Amateur  •  1998, 2017 Women’s Mid-Amateur
1990, 1997, 1999, 2001, & 2003 The TOUR Championship
2020  U.S. Women's Open 

Fundamentally, Champions is a place where golf is played for the right reasons. Competition, skill and fair play remain core values among its members who are committed to excellence.

At Champions Golf Club, you are invited to experience golf the way it’s meant to be played, and a clubhouse where the fondest of memories are made.
