Welcome to Old Mine Club
Malakoff, Texas
Welcome to Old Mine Club
Upon completion, The Old Mine Club aims to establish itself as a standout addition to the Texas golf landscape, offering a memorable championship course experience in a setting defined by history, water, and the region’s native terrain.
The Canary
The Canary will transform the century-old mining terrain into a refined and unforgettable golf experience that also celebrates East Texas’ natural landscape. Spanning over 7,400 yards from the back tees, The Canary will boast striking elevation changes, bold contours and water features that come into play on 10 holes, the majority of which will be located on the back nine.
“Beau Welling Design and our team have been working on The Canary for nearly six years now, and we are excited to invite members to enjoy what will be an unrivaled golf experience,” says Don McNamara, founder of Long Cove. “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Beau and his team in transforming this land that was once the site of abandoned coal mines and a railroad into a striking lakefront course that will delight players and should be considered as one of the best layouts in the state.”
The signature holes at The Canary will be Nos. 11 and 18. These holes will call for tee shots over a cove to island fairways that were once lignite coal tailings piles. The 11th and 18th holes will be perched directly across from the site of the Old Mine Club’s future clubhouse and anchor house, with iconic bridges spanning 180 feet connecting these holes to the mainland.
