The greens and fairways were in great shape
I would recommend this course to anyone. The course was in great shape
Very nice and relaxing
Despite all the rain the two days before, drained well and greens very smooth.
We appreciate your positive feedback..... Book again soon and take advantage of our excellent green conditions currently
a very nice find...
This course was not at all what I expected from a small town, a very nice and challenging layout, I really enjoyed it and will play again.
CGL appreciates your kind words...... we can't wait for your next visit..... if you haven't tried our award winning hamburger...... I highly recommend that you do the next time out
One of the most scenic courses in North Texas
I have never written a golf review before and I have played well over 100 courses. Cleburne Golf Links is a hidden jewel for anyone who loves golf. Very scenic and the course was challenging but fair. Just wish it were a little closer to where I live. (about a 1 hour drive). Will definitely play it again with my friends.

Thank you for your kind words..... please come back soon
Hidden Gem
Only paid $10 for the round on a Tuesday afternoon so I can't complain at all. BUT I was impressed by the newly model club house, brand new golf carts, and very well maintained course. It's not a hard course as there are no sand bunkers but it does have its fair share of narrow fairways and hazardous par 3s. It's a hidden gem through the country side of Cleburne with nice lake view on most holes. It's was 98* when I played and the lake water breeze really helped cools thing down a bit. Fairways are nicely lush but the greens were a bit irrigated with lots of sand. Pace of play was fast as i was a single and the 5-some in front of me was nice enough to let me through, which lead to a 2.5 hours round. Overall good course for the price.
We appreciate you taking the time to comment..... plan your return trip soon...... our greens are in excellent shape right now and our burger is a 5 time award winner
Fantastic course in a gorgeous location
Loved it so much I did the $8 replay - 36holes!!!
I made the drive from Mansfield not really knowing what to expect, arrived before the sun came up before realizing the lake was right there. Played with a couple regulars which was really fun, and then again after their famous burger lunch. The greens were immaculate! Fairways were fine - very "links" looking which is what I wanted. The regular rough was really fluffy and challenging, and the dry fesque looking stuff made you appreciate what the pros have to play out of in the UK! I will add this course to my regular rotation - about 45min without raging down the road, which was smoother than anything in north Dallas. SIDENOTE: On #16 I started to daydream about the lake front homes you see beyond the green. After my round I drove down the road because there are clearly beautiful huge homes sitting up from the road. You pass by one that looks awesome....then a second even more grand...and then you start to see boarded up windows. My first thought was foreclosure or something. Then another...and another...and another, but this time parts of the house MISSING! Then another - almost ALL of the home gone! WTH!!?? I'm from Hawaii and didn't know there had been a tornado in the area... I got home later that evening and googles Cleburne and read about all that happened back in May. Prayers to those effected....
On behalf of the CGL staff, thank you for your kind words.......we appreciate you taking the time to write a substantial review..... The City has rebounded well after the tornado and our golf course is in excellent shape......we look forward to seeing you again
Links style
This is a great place to go out and play if your game is suffering from the scoring blues.... Helps the ego, no sand traps, just stay our of the rough (natural area) and you can score low...
The CGL staff appreciates you taking the time to comment..... plan your next visit soon..... Our greens are great right now and our burger is a 5 time award winner
Good value in Cleburne!
Colligan did a great job! Love the views of the lake and breeze off the water made things a little cooler. Good mix of holes and liked the mostly wide open tee shots! Will be again for sure!
Appreciate the comment....... the CGL staff awaits your return

Great condition
The course was in great condition. The greens were excellent. I had a very good game.
The CGL staff appreciates you taking the time to comment..... we await your return...... bring your friends and return soon
Great greens and pace
The tornados might have hit the community of Cleburne but they did not hurt the course at all. The greens and fairways are in sound shape and we made it through a Saturday afternoon round in 3 hrs.
We appreciate your kind words...... Our greens are in excellent shape right now..... plan your next tee time and make sure you try our award winning burger
Fun course, simple but well kept!
I will be playing this course a lot! Great overall experience, good layout and no sand hazards.
Thank you for taking the time to comment..... Don't forget our award winning burger when you plan your next visit..... hopefully soon

Thank you for your kind words..... make sure you try our award winning burger on your next outing
Good times.
Had a good time on the course. Course was in nice shape for a municipal course. This was my first time playing there and they grouped me with another pair of golfers as I was by myself. Enjoyed the afternoon and will definitely go back as it was also a good value.
We appreciate you taking the time to comment..... plan your next visit and take advantage of some of the best greens in the DFW area..... If you haven't tried our award winning hamburger, you need to do so as soon as possible
Super course
It helped that I shot my personal best on this course - 80 - yes, 80 today. The grass is a carpet. The rough punishes. The greens are pristine and reasonably fast. The views are great too. The T boxes were excellently maintained and level! I would play every week if not so far away. The staff were friendly and helpful.The food (burgers/dogs) and all are top notch too. Try it. You will not be disappointed.
We appreciate your kind assessment of our facility..... we also appreciate you noticing that our tee boxes are level..... not every course has that..... plan your next visit..... our greens are in excellent shape at the present
Great Improvements from old course
I had played here 10+ years ago. I knew they had rebuilt the entire course, but was very impressed at the improvements made. Not only a new club house but entire course overhaul. Course layout is a little odd because at the "turn" you are about as far from the clubhouse as possible. But the improvements are very good. Can play the ball "down and dirty" rare for a public course.
We appreciate your comments..... try our award winning burger on your next outing
Great Shape!
Cleburne Golf Links is in great shape. Greens might be in the best shape I have ever seen.
We appreciate you taking the time to comment on your experience..... The CGL staff is ready for your return.... tell your friends
Not so great course
The greens were all bumpy and rough which made them slow. The fairways had those mud bumps that happens when you punch the holes in the fairways.
We appreciate you taking the time to comment...... punching the fairways is often necessary in drought conditions, but we are taking precautions to avoid the plugs deterring play..... Our greens are as good as any course in the metroplex right now...... Set up a tee time soon and leave time for our 5 time award winning burger
Best conditions overall this year
After playing several of D/FW courses this one has the best conditions overall this year! Tee boxes, & greens pristine, fairways are also coming in nicely.
My only warning is for those that have never played here is to take a gps or an extra hour due to the fact that there is a lack of street signs.
The CGL staff appreciates your kind words...... Book a tee time soon and order our award winning hamburger
Thank you for taking the time to comment..... The CGL staff can't wait to see you again
