Champions (Jack Rabbit) - Texas - USA

The Jack Rabbit course at Champions Golf Club north of Houston was added just five years after its other offering, the Cypress Creek course. George Fazio’s addition was a worthwhile complement, and — like many other courses in the designer’s portfolio — Jack Rabbit became a family affair when nephew Tom Fazio was brought in to lengthen and solidify its challenge. The younger of the famous Fazio pair moved thousands of square feet of soil to boost the topography, and he added many high-faced bunkers.

Although Cypress is often held as the better of the two routes, the USGA stoked the flames of competition: The U.S. Women’s Open will be split between the two courses when it comes to Houston during December 2020.
