  • Vision Statement
    VISION STATEMENT A Club for Championship, Community and Camaraderie. Trinity Forest Golf Club was created explicitly to attract prestigious golf championships back to Dallas; thereby, driving community impact and charitable activity. Further, the club endeavors to create a special place where members and guests may foster camaraderie, enjoying the undefeatable game of golf. Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the championship course at Trinity Forest Golf Club adheres to their design philosophy that traditional, strategic golf is the most rewarding. Built in the Great Trinity Forest and surrounded on its edges by thousands of majestic hardwood trees, the classic links-style course artistically meanders through an open meadow of rolling, rumpled sand recalling the wind swept land of Great Britain or the Northeastern U.S. Trinity Forest is the home of the PGA TOUR’s AT&T Byron Nelson as well as NCAA invitational tournaments for the SMU Men’s and Women’s teams. The Club is also the home course for SMU’s golf teams. Trinity Forest Golf Club also developed a new outdoor teaching facility for The First Tee of Greater Dallas and is a major supporter in the construction of their new learning center. FACT SHEET Golf Facilities • World-class facilities include an 18-hole Championship Course and nine-hole short course (the “Horse Course”). • Course designers Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw created a classic golf course design with traditional, strategic artistry illuminating the natural beauty of the area’s topography. • Trinity Forest provides ample infrastructure for tournament hosting facilities. Current facilities satisfy all requirements of the PGA TOUR.

Sandra Cinto: Landscape of a Lifetime August 14, 2020 – November 1, 2020 | Concourse Landscape of a Lifetime is Brazilian artist Sandra Cinto’s a site-specific commissioned mural in the Museum’s first-level Concourse. Cinto transformed the Concourse hall with a 153-foot mural covering the walls and ceiling in 24 shades of blue, shifting from dark to light to give the impression of the transition from night to day. The walls are decorated with intricate pen drawings of celestial elements such as stars and clouds. Low-level audio of sounds recorded by the artist (running water, rustling leaves, birds, etc.) further enhances the artist’s exploration of life and natural cycles.

What kind of culture if any has been created by Architourism and is it authen c or inauthen c. What kinds of developments have occurred there recently and what has this done to boost or change the local community. In the 2010 census the city of Dallas saw less than a one percent increase in its total popula on while Ft Worth increased by more than 38%. Did Architourism play a role in this? If so, what? Our analysis will begin with researching the demographics of the local users and types of tourists, their income level, race, educa on and loca on of residency. We will also include looking into the histories of selected sites with respect to their economies, culture, tourist ac vi es, and rela onship to the built environment.
