The Texas Golf Hall of Fame is fundraising to complete its online digital museum about each of our 150 individual members and 14 Texas Registry of Historic Golf Courses. To date, we’ve captured 41 members, and 4 courses and this work will continue as we add biennial classes.

We are bringing the project to life through film, still photography, and a one-of-a-kind online platform to support the preservation of Texas golf history and members of the most remarkable state hall of fame in the country.

We are funding the exhibits through generous donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations. You may participate with a restricted gift toward any unfunded member or choose to sponsor in full. For custom details contact alli@texasgolfhof.org.
