Greens are in horrible condition.

This is usually a decent course for the money. But the greens are in terrible condition right now, bare spots, bumpy, and the grass that is on the greens is a little too long. While I only had 36 putts, I should have had about 4-5 putts less. I could not get 5-6 foot putts to roll smoothly they were so bumpy due to bare spots. Nice clubhouse and friendly staff are the bright spots.

Fair priced, never packed

Great course for value. Fairly easy.......reachable par 5's, wide fairways....very nice par 3's. Overall very good course that is always easy to get out on, never busy!.....Greens still have bad spots in them; However usually have to putt through them on 2 putt distances/ so not really an issue.

Greens had a lot of winter kill but should get better when the weather gets warmer

Layout of the course is good, but there was a lot of winterkill on the greens that created bumpy putts. The wind is with you on half the holes and into you on the other half. Course is fairly open and very playable for everyone from beginners to low handicappers. I would like to go back later in the year and see if the greens have improved

Great day on a great course.

It's hard ro complain about a course that I just shot the 2nd lowest round of my life of -1, 71. Texas in spring @ the lake you can expect wind of course, it was cranking @ 20mph. All I can say is be sure and get those birdies when the hole is with the wind. This adds to all the beauty of this links style course...you almost feel like you are @ the old course in St. Andrews. ..without the cold. Greens are comming along very nice for this time of year, had alot of true putts so they were falling. Fairways are also comming along nice also. My hat is off to the maintenance people and courteous staff!

Fun Course to Play

We have played this course many times over the last couple of years. Although it has always been in really great shape, we were surprised that it was not as good as other times. However, we probably should have waited another month or so to play it. The fairways and greens have not filled in yet. But, we plan to go back in a few weeks. I have no doubt it will be in great shape. It is an extremely fun course to play and the staff and facility is wonderful. Great time and great value for the money.

Well the course is in pretty good shape for the first part of April. It's turning green quick and should be much better in a few weeks. Staff is always friendly and the food is great and cold beer to boot!

Great greens,but fairways need better grass

Enjoyed playing the course except for the tight fairways and a lot of hard pan in the fairways.The greens were very nice with a smooth role.The wind was about 15 to 25 mph which really makes a links course much harder,but that's golf.I hope to play there again after some rain and there's more grass on the fairways.

Course needs some work

The course could use some clean-up here and there. A lot of debris and trash piled up that needs to be removed. Greens and fairways are still a little rough. The staff did honor the Golf Links discount even though I moved my tee time up. Good experience overall.

Slow Play

Everyone said the slow play was not typical but multiple fivesomes on a windy weekend day meant 4 groups on the 3 pars. No marshall and no hope of increasing pace. Short par 4 and reachable par 5's didn't help.

Great course

I have played on this course many times and it is always great. The staff is friendly, it's never too crowded and the course has never been in bad condition. It is a beautiful course right on Lake Cleburne and is a wonderful place to get 18 holes in every time.

great course for the money

We played this links course three time while we were in the area. I enjoyed the layout and it was a great value for the money. All the courses we played in January were mostly dormant, but this course played pretty well in those conditions.

Rough for beginners.

Pros: This course has a great view of the lake, and plenty of Texas native natural environment, which I'm sure is even more beautiful in the spring and fall months. The staff was also very friendly and the pro shop was nice. Cons: The course has ALOT of hazards, water, very tall grass and weeds that make it VERY hard if not impossible to find an even slight unexpected fade or slice. (I would not recommend for just starting out) The back nine scenery away from the lake is pretty dull.

The best I've played.

I loved everything from the super driving range to the entire front 9. I played the front 9 back-to-back since I had to drop my partner off at the clubhouse. This was my first time to play this course and wish I had found it sooner. It even offers Lake Pat views throughout.

The greens were freshly airated and sanded per seasonal maintenance procedures but werent that deficult to rea and put adn fairways were ok.

the course has a nice setting and is a good place to play golf because the south wind is very refreshing coming of the lake.
