Ok shape

The course was really green. Which I expect with the amount of rain we have had this year. But greens were extremely fast and kind of sandy. Was not really happy with green maintenance but other than that great time. Super friendly staff.

GOLF-guys only, ladies forbidden.

Unfortunately, still too many men unwilling to let a woman play thru or join up. Perfectly willing to pair up with the twosome ahead of me waiting on every hole on the 4 some ahead of them. They begrudgingly let me go ahead thru as did the two 4 somes of elderly gentleman (very nice). They also gave me a "pink ball they found" (sorry, not interested). I'm aware a single has no rights, but wouldn't it be better to just join up or let someone play thru, and thru, and thru? My round took 2 hours, 10 minutes. It generally takes me 1 hour 48 minutes. I'm an 8 handicap and shot a 77 that day. Guess what, not all woman play slow (actually, we're pretty quick. We also don't all play with pink golf balls!)

Lots of fun on this course that makes you think with a lot of high risk high reward shots. Play in the fairway and you will be fine. Greens held well and rolled very true. Lots of fun and look forward to playing it again soon!!!!

I have played courses all over and always come back. This course allows overall game improvement without the frustration. Wide open, well kept and varied level of challenges. Bring water balls LOL. The staff are genuine and helpful and the people playing are generally the most polite of anywhere I have played.

If you love wind, this is the course.

A beautiful day to play. The golf course is in excellent condition. This grass goes dormant so it's yellow but it is a terrific turf to play on. As long as you hit the fairway, you had a perfect lie. The greens are very smooth, fast and undulating. These are not easy greens because of their speed. The course is located immediately next to a lake and the wind was blowing a consistent 30 mph with gusts to 35 mph. The green for hole number 10 is the green that looks like it's on a peninsula to the left. The green that you see dead ahead is actually the green for number 13. I had a great time. The wind wasn't blowing on my front nine, I was one under. The wind kicked up severely on the back and I shot three over. I had a chance tobreak par for the first time until I bogeyed three of the last four holes for a 74. A great day.

A fun, sunny round!

This was a fun course to play, even though the course could better indicate which way to turn and locate the right flag. (One hole has three flags in the distance when you address the fairway. An arrow on the tee box would clarify the correct direction.) The mini-verde greens were extremely fast and the greens are firm. Never used my divot tool once! Golf course courtesy is sort of challenged by today's golfers, but most of those encountered were very considerate. Everything considered-a fun time and we will visit again. everyone should taste those greens!!

Rbeca1,

We appreciate you coming out to play our golf course. We would like to inform you that a large portion of our daily play is from players over 55 years old. We are also the only course in the area that has a set of Junior Tees, these "Wee" Tees as we call them, will cut the golf course down to 2500 yards, a perfect distance for beginners of any age. We hope that you will come back and give our course another chance soon.

Thanks,
CGL Management

Course Improving!

I have played Cleburne Golf Links since the course opened a few years ago, and I have seen improved overall course conditions over this past year. They are cleaning up the habitat areas, and this has not only made the course look better, but has also improved speed of play. I would definitely recommend this course to any golfer!!

Cleburne Golf Links

The course was in great shape. The pins were placed on uneven parts of the greens but without bunkers the course would be defenseless. We played on Sunday and we had a fivesome in front of us. The group ahead of them was a sixsome. The course broke them up twice. We saw another sixsome that was five or six groups ahead of them. The hamburger after the round is a must have! I will go back and play again.

Thank you for choosing our facility to spend your afternoon...... as many as five new marshals are in place and sixomes will not be tolerated..... pace of play is important at CGL..... pins should not be placed on slopes and this problem was addressed

First Time Playing

Nice putting surface! Try the hotdog!

This was my first time playing here and I had a good time! I enjoyed the layout and greens, but the fairways were not smooth and lack of water in hazards took away from this course. Some water hazards need to be looked at and maybe filled in with sand or turf! Don't leave without trying the hotdog!

Thank you for your comments..... Without rain we are looking at viable options for our hazards...... expect to see work on the few troublesome areas in the fairways to continue..... if you think the hot dog is good, why not try our award winning hamburger
