Irrigation Tech

Truly a course interesting yet friendly enough to play every day, Briggs Ranch is the epitome of pure understated Texas. The massive iron gate greets you at Briggs Ranch, but once you drive past the Spanish-styled clubhouse and hook right to pass the lit putting green, the casitas are what truly bring you home.
