Childress Hall Golf Club

The Lodge, filed with TDLR as Childress Hall Golf Club, is a new 49-unit hotel building located at County Road P and 7 in Childress, Texas. The project encompasses 35,062 square feet of construction, a scale that places it significantly above the median size for new construction filings in Childress County. This development is a privately funded private-use project owned by Childress Hall, LLC, marking a substantial investment in the local hospitality sector.

Project Scope and Design

CLB Architects serves as the design firm of record for this facility. The scope of work includes one interior assembly space, one exterior assembly space, and open-air corridors that contribute to the total square footage. The estimated cost of the project is $13,422,746, which translates to a cost of $383 per square foot. This figure is above the county median of $319 per square foot for similar new construction projects, reflecting the specific amenities and structural requirements of a hotel of this magnitude.

Kimberly J Goss is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. TDLR completed the plan review process in September 2024, clearing the path for construction to begin. The construction start date listed in the filing is October 2024, with a scheduled completion date of December 2025. Although this scheduled date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
