Ben Crenshaw was one of the designers of the last 9 holes in the mid 1990s. The Onion Creek Club is the birthplace of the PGA Champions (formerly Senior) Tour, serving as host of the Legends of Golf Tournament for 11 years starting in the late 1970s. It also hosted an LPGA tournament for several years. The course presents a challenge for golfers of all skill levels.
