Championship Season at Cordillera Ranch got off to a fantastic start, with the Men's Club Championship in May, the Ladies Club Championship in early June, and the Junior Club Championship rounding out an exciting stretch on the golf calendar. Across all three events, members of all ages showcased the competitive spirit, sportsmanship and camaraderie that make championship golf at Cordillera Ranch so special.
Ron Trevino Wins Men’s Club Championship
The 2026 Men’s Club Championship, held May 16-17, brought together a strong field of competitors for a true test of golf. Challenging conditions, including gusty winds and intermittent rain, set the stage for an exciting championship weekend.
When the final putt dropped, Ron Trevino stood atop the leaderboard, capturing his second Men’s Club Championship and first since 2016. With the victory, Ron became just the third player in Club history to win multiple Men’s Club Championships.
In the First Flight, Brian Werner posted an impressive two-day net score of 4-under par to claim the title. Lee Pettigrew and Ron Haney rounded out the top three with strong performances of their own.
The Second Flight delivered plenty of drama, with several players in contention until the closing holes. Brett Dines ultimately emerged victorious by a single stroke over Jason West, Mark Greco and Richard Jackson, while a scorecard playoff was needed to determine second and third place.
Congratulations to Ron and all this year’s competitors for making the championship another memorable Club Championship.

The Net Divisions featured outstanding performances as well, with Nancy Meadows winning the Ladies Net Club Championship and Barbara Wynn earning the Net Senior Ladies Club Championship.
