Golf in Thorntonville

Thorntonville is a small community in Ward County in the Permian Basin near Monahans in west Texas, in the flat desert terrain of the Chihuahuan Desert margin. Ward County is a Permian Basin county with oil and gas production on the flat, caliche terrain at roughly 2,700 feet elevation. Monahans Sandhills State Park nearby preserves the extensive sand dune system that is one of the unexpected landscapes of the west Texas desert. The community is accessible on the I-20 corridor east of Pecos and west of Midland, in the sparsely populated Trans-Pecos transition zone. Ward County's economy is driven by the Permian Basin petroleum production and the ranching that has operated in the area for over a century. One course serves the Thorntonville and Monahans area in the flat Permian Basin terrain of Ward County.
