Early Pecos Golf Courses and Notable Players History
Golfing began in Pecos in 1922 with the Alamo Play ground nine holes on cottonseed hull greens owned by S C Vaughan and designed by H H Johnson. The Pecos Country Club opened in 1930 on 160 acres five miles northwest, drawing players like Ed Armstrong and John Ivy as both courses eventually closed due to finances and mood downturns.
