Hotels in Cedar Crest Park

Cedar Crest Park is a 1919 A.W. Tillinghast design in Dallas's Oak Cliff, the municipal course that once hosted the PGA Championship. Its base camp is downtown Dallas and the Bishop Arts District, minutes across the Trinity River.

Cedar Crest Park anchors South Dallas golf: an eighteen-hole Tillinghast layout in Oak Cliff that turned professional in 1927 and has stayed public since the city bought it in 1946. Groups base themselves across the river in downtown Dallas or the Bishop Arts District, where a dense cluster of hotels sits twenty-five to thirty-five minutes from the first tee by taxi. The course plays firm and tree-lined through the old Oak Cliff hills, a genuine change of pace from the parkland tracks that dominate newer Texas golf. Spring and fall bring the most playable weather; summer rounds reward an early tee time. Between rounds, Bishop Arts supplies the dining a golf trip needs, while downtown adds museums for the non-golfing hours.

What to expect

  • Eighteen-hole 1919 Tillinghast design in Oak Cliff
  • Former PGA Championship host, municipal since 1946
  • Bishop Arts District dining minutes from the course
  • Downtown Dallas hotel base across the Trinity River
  • DFW and Love Field both under an hour away

Local tips

  • Book an early tee time in July and August to beat the Texas heat before it peaks in the afternoon.
  • Stay in the Bishop Arts District if the group wants a walkable dinner scene closer to Oak Cliff than downtown.
  • Budget twenty-five to thirty-five minutes by taxi from most downtown hotels to the course, longer at rush hour.
  • Pack layers for a spring or fall trip: Dallas mornings can run cool before the afternoon warms up fast.
  • Confirm cart or walking policy directly with the course, since a historic Tillinghast routing has real elevation change.
  • Add a Bishop Arts District evening to the itinerary; it is the liveliest dinner strip near the course.

Where to stay

FAQ

How far is Cedar Crest Park from downtown Dallas hotels?

Most downtown Dallas hotels sit twenty-five to thirty-five minutes from Cedar Crest Park by taxi, depending on traffic and the exact hotel location. Bishop Arts District stays trim a few minutes off that drive since the neighborhood borders Oak Cliff directly.

Who designed the Cedar Crest golf course?

Cedar Crest Park was designed by A.W. Tillinghast and opened in 1919 as a private club before the City of Dallas purchased it in 1946. It hosted the PGA Championship in 1927, one of the earliest municipal-turned-championship stories in Texas golf.

What is the best time of year to golf at Cedar Crest Park?

Spring and fall give Cedar Crest Park its most comfortable playing weather, with mild mornings and manageable afternoon heat. Summer rounds are best booked early, since Dallas afternoons regularly push into the upper nineties by mid-round.

Which Dallas neighborhood is closest to the course?

Oak Cliff and the Bishop Arts District sit closest, just across the Trinity River from downtown Dallas. A stay in either neighborhood cuts the drive to Cedar Crest Park versus a hotel further north in Uptown or the Market Center.

Can a group fly into Dallas and reach the course easily?

Yes: both Dallas Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field sit under an hour from downtown-area hotels near Cedar Crest Park. Love Field is the closer of the two for most downtown and Oak Cliff stays.

Is Cedar Crest Park suited to a buddies trip or a couple's stay?

Both work: the course's public tee sheet and municipal pricing suit a larger golf society, while the Bishop Arts District dining scene gives a couple plenty to do between rounds. Downtown hotels add spa and skyline options for a slower pace.
