It surprised people when Pecan Valley was chosen in 1968 to host the PGA Championship. Whether it was of major championship caliber is debatable, but it was certainly a better than average course with some of the oldest trees in Texas on the property that defined the challenge making it a shot-maker's course. It was no wonder when two excellent ball-strikers contended there. Julius Boros edged out Arnold Palmer in a thrilling finish to win and become the oldest major championship winner at the age of 48. Palmer was always known for his heroics and a plaque marks the spot on the 18th hole where Palmer hit a screaming 3-wood onto the long par-four green only to miss a 12 foot putt. Moments later, Boros responded wedging close enough to secure a par and the victory.

Pecan Valley also hosted the 1967 , 1969, and 1970 Texas Opens in addition to the USGA's Public Links Championship in 2001.

Pecan Valley Golf Club closed in January 9, 2012.

Pecan Valley's owner is Foresight Golf Management which also operates a successful and highly acclaimed public course just three miles away, The Republic, which it has actively marketed as a replacement for Pecan Valley. In talking points passed out to Pecan Valley employees, Foresight said Pecan Valley was closed because it was not financially viable.
