Bernardsville, NJ | Excerpt from Lone Star Golf, October 2025
LaBar Golf, a New Jersey-based construction company, has quickly risen to prominence as a national leader in golf course construction. Now making a strong mark in Texas, the company is showcasing its expertise through a series of marquee projects, a strategic partnership with the Texas Golf Association (TGA), and a continued push toward nationwide expansion.
Led by founder Rich LaBar, the company has built a reputation for top-tier craftsmanship through renovation, irrigation, and new construction projects at some of the nation’s most prestigious clubs, including the Bear’s Club, Muirfield Village Golf Club, Hudson National Golf Club, Merion Golf Club, Oakland Hills Country Club, Seminole Golf Club, Winged Foot Golf Club, Pinehurst Resort, and many more. With that reputation firmly established, the company is now positioned at the forefront of several high-profile initiatives in Texas, featuring projects that span both classic reservations and bold new developments, each helping to shape the future of the game in the southwest.
LaBar Golf’s work in Texas is just one chapter of a bigger story. The company recently planted new roots on the West Coast, opening an office to serve California, Arizona, Nevada, and Washington. The move reflects a growing demand for LaBar’s expertise nationwide, while maintaining a strong focus on regional projects, such as those in Texas.
As part of a landmark project, LaBar Golf is set to shape one of Texas’s most ambitious golf and sports destinations at Luling Sport. This ground-up project goes beyond course construction, delivering a championship-caliber layout for competitive play, cutting-edge practice and performance facilities, as well as thoughtfully integrated community, lifestyle, and hospitality features. Together, these elements reflect LaBar Golf’s vision of creating not just a course, but a premier destination that will elevate the golfing experience across Texas.
