Onion Creek Club is a 27-hole golf course located in Austin, Texas.[2] Opened in 1974, it is the only golf course designed by Jimmy Demaret, three-time Masters winner.[1] The course was restored by Coore & Crenshaw in 2014 after being destroyed by a flood the same year.[1]
The idea for a senior tour grew out of a highly successful event at Onion Creek Club in 1978. That event, the Legends of Golf, featured competition between two-member teams of some of the greatest older golfers of that day.[3] The Senior PGA Tour was formally established in 1980.[4]
Onion Creek Club has hosted the Kathy Ireland Championship[5] and qualifiers for the 2018 U.S. Senior Women's Open.[6]
