PGA Golf Professional Chuck Higgins has owned and operated the course since 1990. Originally a nine hole course with sand greens, Battle Lake was expanded to 18 holes during the 1970's. Surrounded by cotton farms, the course offers challenges to golfers of all levels.
Water comes into play on eleven of the holes, with hills, trees, and severe doglegs also present.
In 1996, the Battle Lake Golf Shop was selected as one of the 100 Best Golf Shops in America by Golf Shop Operations , the premiere golf merchandising manual. Battle Lake was one of 20 courses selected in the privately-owned public course category, along with Kemper Lakes, Cog Hill, and the TPC at Woodlands.
