Our History
Initially formed in 1928, the original golf course has been affectionately described as “4 holes in a cow pasture,” which is a true testament to the immaculate beauty of the clubhouse and course you will experience today. When the dam was built to form the 20-acre lake on the property, oxen and mules worked during dusk and nighttime hours to spare the animals the heavy work in the daytime heat. Eventually, “cabin” sites were developed on the east side of the lake by several families, and a few had business affiliations. Several iterations of a “clubhouse” have existed through the years, in several different locations on the property.
The current clubhouse was built in April 2013. There you will find the 511 Chophouse, Five Eleven Bar & Grill, Grand Ballroom and Event Center, and children’s play and swim complex. The most recent addition to the property is our Pro Shop and Fitness building. Finishing its construction in November of 2023, this building houses the John Gillis collection of vintage golf clubs and memorabilia, along with our professionally curated Pro Shop, private gym, Par Tee Bar, and state-of-the-art sports simulator bays.

The club we enjoy today is thanks to the passion and the vision of the late John Gillis, carried on by his wife, Debbie. We owe them our gratitude, and- in 2028- we will be lifting a glass to toast the jewel of Northeast Texas, Sulphur Springs Country Club at 100 years!
