About Burning Tree Country Club
What strikes you first about Burning Tree is how Purdy used the natural contours to create a course that feels both challenging and welcoming. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes that many architects would have flattened, resulting in approach shots that demand precise club selection. It's the kind of place where four generations of the same family have walked the same lines, yet the course continues to test modern players.
