The golf course in Big Spring, Texas, was named for the trail the Comanches used to take when they were escaping west from Texas.
A short distance northwest of Big Spring, the trail now goes by the name “Old Concho Trail.” But to the Comanches, it was, well, a trail. It was a rough, stony road, and when the Comanches were on the run, it didn’t matter much whether they had a road or a trail.
A road, however, was better than a trail. A road was better because it meant that, if you were careful, you could travel it without losing everything.
This course has been a source of pride for many Big Spring residents.
It was built on what was known as the Comanche Trail. The Comanche Trail was an ancient trade route that ran through West Texas.

A man said to me once, “Were you a member of the Comanche Trail Golf Course?” And I said, “No.” And he said, “Then how did you get your name?” And I said, “The first man I shot in 1939 had that last name.”
