A Club for the Whole Family

THE EARLY BEGINNINGS

Our History

BraeBurn Country Club was originally founded in 1926 as Colonial Country Club. The course was designed by famed Golden Age golf course architect John Bredemus.


A group led by Jack Burke, Sr. and John Bredemus reorganized the club in 1931 and renamed it BraeBurn Country Club. BraeBurn remains the fourth oldest club in the city of Houston.

 

From 1936-1941, BraeBurn was the home of world golf Hall of Famer and three-time Masters Champion, Jimmy Demaret, who served as head golf professional. During his tenure at BraeBurn, Mr. Demaret won nine PGA tour events including the 1940 Masters.

 

BraeBurn has served as the host site for the 1950 Houston Open (won by Dr. Cary Middlecoff), the 1952 LPGA Houston Weathervane (won by Betsy Rawls, who defeated Babe Zaharius by three strokes), the 1954 NCAA National Championship (won by SMU), the 1988 Miracle Network Golf Tournament hosted by Greg Norman (won by Fred Couples), and the 1995 Texas State Amateur (won by Brad Elder).
