What will Hurricane Creek Country Club look like after 100 years?
The gorgeous clubhouse at Hurricance Creek Country Club. Hurricane Creek Country Club has been known as the local hidden gem. The club is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year with big tournaments and big parties. We've seen the renovations and upgrades over the last 50 years so we wondered what Hurricane Creek Country Club might look like 50 years from now. We asked the question to Board of Directors President Lance Lair and it hit him with a smile and a chuckle. "I probably won't be here," said Lair. "I think you're probably going to see a golf course that
probably has 27 to 36 holes. You're going to see an area around the golf course developed out. And Hurricane Creek is going to be sitting in the middle of a thriving city with commercial, retail, and residential activity around it. It won't be the hidden gem in 2068 that we like to boast that it is now." Over the years, the club has transformed from most of the members coming from South Collin County and North Dallas County to one that has more local members from Anna and
surrounding cities. The growth of North Collin County has paid big dividends for the country club as Lair stated that the club is being used more now than ever before.
"We used to have events that would see about 20 people ten years ago," said Lair. "Those same events now are sellouts with 50 or 60 people."
