El Paso International Airport (EPIA) announced during April that it would close Butterfield Trail Golf Club in order to reduce expenses and focus on essential airport operations, however Spirit Golf Management stepped in to reopen the course as September began. That development came too late for Butterfield to get into the 2020 rankings for Texas, but keep an eye out during 2022.
