Major League Baseball is just around the corner, and the Texas Rangers have already knocked it out of the park. The Rangers, based in Arlington, Texas are the first professional baseball franchise to team up with a local golf course.
In late February, the Texas Rangers Golf Club officially debuted a few miles down the street from Globe Life Park in Arlington, the Rangers’ home field that is sandwiched between Dallas and Fort Worth.

The new Texas Rangers Golf Club is constructed on the site of the former Chester W. Ditto golf course. Open to the public, the 18-hole, par 72 Texas Rangers Golf Club measures 7,010 yards from the tips and features baseball-themed names for each hole.
A few examples include hole 1 dubbed the Lead Off, hole 2 is the Line Drive, while the closing hole is aptly named the Walk Off. Additional amenities include a 23-acre practice area that features a double-ended range, a practice hole, and two short game areas—one with four greens and the other with one green. A new clubhouse is scheduled to open in early 2020.
