Welcome To

Rusted Rail Golf Club

Discover 7,249 yards of serene East Texas golf at Rusted Rail Golf Club, a premier par 72 course just 25 miles southeast of Dallas in the charming community of Crandall, Texas. Our course, with a course rating of 74.1 and a slope rating of 119, offers both a challenging and relaxing experience for golfers of all levels. Whether you’re a local resident or visiting the area, everyone is welcome to enjoy our beautiful course and facilities—no membership required. Set amidst lush foliage, seven picturesque lakes, and two winding creeks, the rolling terrain and 21 strategically placed bunkers make Rusted Rail Golf Club a true hidden gem.

Since 2018, under new ownership, we have embarked on a significant restoration journey. Our dedicated management team has revitalized the greens, upgraded irrigation systems, and repaired cart paths, all while preserving the rich historical culture of Crandall and its neighboring communities. This vision also led to the creation of The Venue at Rusted Rail and The Rail Bar & Grill, offering a picturesque event space and a delightful dining experience open to all.

Steeped in history, the community of Crandall was founded in the late 1800s by Reverend C.F. Crandall and rose to prominence with the Texas Trunk Line Railway, becoming a key hub for cotton shipping. Although the Great Depression saw a decline, remnants of the old rail remain, adding a nostalgic charm to our course. Escape to this full-service 18-hole golf facility, where the past meets the present in a tranquil setting.

At Rusted Rail Golf Club, we offer more than just golf. Open to the public every day, we invite you to join us in a family-friendly environment where you can create unforgettable memories.

What They’re Saying About

Rusted Rail

We have been playing this course for 15 years and it has never been as good as it is right now! Awesome facilities and amenities. We always have a great time here no matter what we shoot!

“This is one of the best courses around. We love playing here. Greens and fairways always in great shape and staff is so nice.

“The golf course is in fantastic shape and the staff is very courteous. There is always fun activities at the venue!

Course is most wide open but the creeks and ponds give a good challenge. Course was in good shape when we played and the staff were all very nice. The panko fried shrimp was very tasty!

“Finally got a chance to get back out to this course. Unbelievable how much they have turned this course around in a short time. Hands down this course is top 5 for DFW area right now. It’s the middle of August and the fairways and greens were near perfect. The greens rolled very true and an added bonus is the grill after your round is over. If you are looking for a new course to check out I would strongly recommend Rusted Rail, you will not be disappointed.”

“I could be a member anywhere, but this is my favorite course. The staff is top notch and what they’ve done with the course is absolutely amazing! Railyeah!!”

“The work that has been done on the course makes it a quality, golfer friendly course. The patio is a great place to have a refreshment after a round or to catch some live music.”

“Delicious food, spotlessly clean, very friendly staff and gorgeous setting. I had the patty melt sandwich and sweet potato waffle fries. Generous portions and so very good. Loved it.”

I have been playing golf around the World for over 50 years, and NEVER have I been treated like I was at your facility on 4/8/21. I thought it was very special for you to take the time to send me an email to remind me that I had a tee time, but it was beyond special to receive an email thanking me for playing your course! I have NEVER experienced that before. It is usually “give me your money and go,” not caring whether I enjoyed myself or not. To receive an email thanking me for my business you have, in my opinion, put yourself and your course a few notched above everyone else. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, your caring, and for sharing your course with me. Your staff was polite, courteous and very helpful in all my interactions with them–Bo Branyan and a young lady that was working the counter in the Pro Shop. Although the greens on the course suffered greatly from the harsh Winter, I very much enjoyed your course. Thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to play it. I hope one day I will again be blessed to be able to play there (Tyler isn’t that far away). Thank you again for all you and your staff have done to ensure that I enjoyed my day at the Rusted Rail! Rail yeah!!!”
