About Us 

San Angelo Country Club (SACC) is a private, member-owned club located along the banks of the beautiful Concho River in San Angelo, Texas. The centerpiece of the club is the John Bredemus designed, championship golf course. From a land of gently rolling hills populated with pecan, live oak, and mesquite trees, the noted architect carved out an understated masterpiece in the early 1920s paving the way for generations of livelihood to come.

San Angelo Country Club started in 1920 when Bernie Alexander, Dwight Hunter, and C.C. McBurnett purchased the land from John Findlater for $10,000. The land was used for farming and sat high overlooking the Concho River. The Club was then established in 1921. Bernie Alexander laid the plans for a nine-hole course and soon went to work with a crew of men. Together, they cleared the land of prickly pear and mesquite trees. The primitive course had cottonseed hull greens for the first few years.  

In 1927, the oil boom hit. The decision was made that another nine holes should be added. John Bredemus, a golf course architect and associate architect for the Colonial Golf Course in Fort Worth, was brought in to design the additional nine holes. He laid out the design for the outside nine holes and revised the inside nine holes.  

The original club house nicknamed "La Casa Grande" was built and furnished when the first nine holes were laid out. "La Casa Grande" was equipped with a kitchen, a hardwood floor ballroom, dining rooms, locker rooms, and a veranda overlooking the river. The cost then was $35,000 and was hailed as a gem of the community. Over the years, the San Angelo Country Club has been updated and renovated several times. It remains as unique and beautiful as the gem that first graced the Concho River many years ago.
