About Rusted Rail Golf, Grill, & Events
Rusted Rail Golf Club is an 18-hole public course in Crandall, Texas, roughly 25 miles southeast of Dallas. The par-72 layout stretches 7,249 yards, with a course rating of 74.1 and a slope of 119, and no membership is required to play. Rolling terrain, heavy foliage, seven lakes, two creeks and 21 bunkers shape the round.
New ownership took over in 2018 and began an extensive restoration, including work on the greens, upgraded irrigation and repaired cart paths. The same effort produced The Venue at Rusted Rail, an event space, and The Rail Bar & Grill, which is open to the public.

The course takes its name from the area's railroad past. Crandall was founded in the late 1800s by Reverend C.F. Crandall and grew as a cotton shipping point on the Texas Trunk Line Railway before declining during the Great Depression; traces of the old rail line still remain on the property.
