Equipment Technician – Briggs Ranch Golf Club

Just west of San Antonio, Texas lies Briggs Ranch Golf Club opened in 2001.  This private club was purchased in 2017 by Dormie Network. The facility has cottages totaling 60 beds. The course was designed by famed golf course architect Tom Fazio and has hosted USGA, Texas State Golf Association, and Korn Ferry Tour events in the past.  Dormie Network has blended Briggs Ranch into its offering of national private clubs centered around giving its members upstanding golf course conditions, amazing hospitality and service, and exquisite culinary offerings.  Truly a course interesting enough to play everyday, Briggs Ranch is the epitome of pure understated Texas golf. The massive iron gate greets you at Briggs Ranch, but once you drive past the Spanish-style clubhouse and hook right to pass the lit putting green, the casitas are what truly bring you home. Bring your pressed and starched blue jeans.
