Rankin Golf Course

Rankin Golf Course is a 9-hole layout listed at just 900 yards with a par of 36. The unusually short total yardage suggests a very compact course or one with non-standard hole configurations. The course is in Rankin, a tiny West Texas town on the arid high plains between Midland and Iraan. There is no driving range, and the dry, windswept terrain is typical of the Permian Basin.

Economy pricing fits Rankin’s small, oil-field community. McCamey Country Club and Iraan Golf Course are the closest alternatives, each requiring a drive across open desert. Rankin Golf Course is one of the most remote and minimalist golf options in Texas, serving a handful of local players in a sparsely populated corner of the state.
