Champions Golf Club was founded by Jack Burke, Jr. and the late Jimmy Demaret in 1957. From its origin, Champions has consistently carved its place in golf history hosting such prestigious events as the Ryder Cup Matches in 1967, the United States Open in 1969 and the Champions International, a PGA tour event.

The Cypress Creek Course was designed by Ralph Plummer and opened for play in 1959. With over 70,000 trees, wide fairways and enormous greens, it remains one of America's premier tournament sites.

It is only fitting that Champions Golf Club has found such an important place in golf considering it was the life long dream of two of the game's most prominent figures. Jack Burke and the late Jimmy Demaret share a special place in the history and tradition of the game. Their accomplishments and contributions have endeared them to many the world over and the quality of this facility is a tribute to the careers of these two men.

The atmosphere they created at Champions has made it a retreat for the famous as well as a school ground for the aspiring. Very few of the greats of the past have failed to walk these grounds - there can be no doubt that those of the future will feel that same draw.
