Sleeper!

The old course and the new are like night and day. The course is challenging yet fair to a high handicapper. Generous fairways - a number of short par 4's and 4 reachable par 5's. It's not hard to have a high # of gir. Greens are very good; not super fast but, once you get the speed, you can make your putts. The staff have always been helpful, and super nice. The grill is really good - best hamburgers at any golf course I have played. The outdoor veranda facing the lake is a great place to meet your significant other and have a quality meal and watch the sun go down. Try it - you will like it!

Great Course!

Course is in great condition! They lost the greens a few months back, but have done a great job getting them back to pristine condition...maintenance crew has done an awesome job! A very scenic course, this is definitely one of the best deals for the money. Only drawbacks are the grill closing at 4 and Blake demanding carts be in 20 minutes before sunset...only course I've ever played in my life where this has occurred. Overall a great, great experience!

Former Staffer:

Course in great shape. Greens are very good .

Mike has done a wonderful job of returning greens to 1st. class.

New carts are great.

Close time based on Sunset times. Playing in the dark is dangerous!!!!

I sincerely apologize for thoughtlessly naming Blake in my review. Carts in before sunset is a city policy. Blake is doing his job and enforcing that policy.

Links to the Past

The redesigned Cleburne Links retains some of its former layout, but the new routing incorporates more water and has four long par fives. Pros Luke, Kyle and Blake are friendly and are doing a good job of maintaining the course. The new carts are great and have plug-ins for cell phones, which help when using GPS golf aids. Cleburne Links is a great value.

Lakeview course with nice greens. If you loose your ball in the rough, it's gone. Enjoyed the course (Public), and fairways are in decent shape. Got a great "Hot Deal" on Golf Now. New carts, friendly staff, and great hamburgers. Pro shop staff very efficient and friendly.

Heaven

First time I played here. My son was in town for 2 weeks and we played 4 courses. By far, this was the best one. Amazing views. Fairways were awesome. Greens were fast and many many breaks. Played midday/midweek so pace of play was fast. Got a Hot Deal, so fantastic rate. Tried to give the course some money by buying 2 of those famous hamburgers but the grill was closed by 4:00 . That was the only negative on this awesome day. I drove 102 miles round trip to play but I am going to try to play this course at least every other month. Keep up the GREAT work !

Great course and a good value

We have played this course several times this summer and it has been great every time. Friendly staff and nice layout. I wish the city would keep the grill open longer though. We finished at around 5 on Saturday and the grill was already closed. It would have been great to finish off an excellent round with a burger but the city does not want to pay the employees to keep them around. We had a burger a few rounds back and it is awesome!!! Other than that though, this a great course with a great layout.

Great course and a good value

We teed off at about 1130 am on a Sunday and it was hot and windy. The course has a nice layout along the banks of lake Cleburne. Friendly and courteous staff and they say the hamburgers are great in the clubhouse. We had an 11 year old with us and he pared 2 holes before we found the junior tees. Really great that they offer junior tees and this will most likely be our home course from now on. Kuddos to the designer, staff and the city of Cleburne.

Love this coarse

Was supposed to be a cooler day, but wasn't. However, this coarse made up for the heat. Was in great shape even with recent punched greens. Pace of play was bad due to a couple of 5 sums spaced around, and had to skip couple holes. I love this coarse, and would recommend to all. Great layout!

Great course

A great wide open course. Lots of water to make for beautiful surroundings. Enough water in play to make it challenging. Entire round was pleasant. Well marked to make navigation for first time players at your course to find the next tee box. Avid players like us are not easily impressed but this course was an exception. Impressive.

Fun

Love playing right off the lake. Course is challenging and very relaxing to play. Course starts off easy then slowly progresses difficultly. Only down side is the 10th hole doesn't meet back at the club house. Make sure to get all your food and drinks before.
