Grand Oaks Golf Club enjoys a peaceful, tranquil setting among century-old oak trees and an abundance of wildlife. The course is as challenging as it is scenic with tree-lined fairways and small greens that will test your accuracy. It may have a traditional design but there is still some bite to this round. There are several strategically placed bunkers that lurk greenside to challenge you even further. Two meandering creeks weave along the golf course as well, coming into play on a few holes. The layout has a nice mix of holes from reachable par 5s to tough par 3s. Grand Oaks Golf Club is a fair test that is player friendly enough to appeal to players of all skill levels. There are some birdie opportunities available if you play it smart and it's forgiving enough for high handicappers to approach with confidence.

Needs Time

This has the potential to be a very good course at a reasonable price, going to give it time to green-up before judging. 2 items come to mind, first off, the course did not show up in my Garmin. Secondly. the creeks that wind through the course and cross over landing areas in the fairways are not visible from the tee boxes or marked visually. Probably by design, but frustrating to a first time visitor.

First time here

My son and I enjoyed the course and 55 degree day. Somewhat muddy conditions in spots. Several small creeks and ponds you can't see on your tee shot and fairway drive. But first time here, guess I will have to come back to see if I improve. Course is pretty open but you must avoid the water. Lots of twosomes so pace was pretty good. Price was fantastic. Several small greens. For this average golfer, I will be back for sure.

Same ole course, great new clubhouse

Hadn't played the course in 3 years and improvements are being made but layout is unchanged. Greens are still in good shape but other parts of course are being improved gradually. No driving range currently but new clubhouse and patio is freakin' awesome.

On it's way back

Course has been closed for 2.5 years but has reopened. Building a new driving range so only a putting green is available. Although the course has lost 200 + trees due to a pipeline and an oak disease, it is a great layout with enough trees lining most holes that will get you into trouble. Watch out for water hazards you cannot see from the tee box. No cart girl but plenty of ice coolers on the course. Staff is excellent and the new golf shop/bar is really cool with at least 5 TV'S. Will definitely play this course again.

Surprising!

I played here on August 31. The course was in very nice condition. Holes 15 and 16 are tricky if you don't realize there are nearby water hazards. 18 has a hazard on the right that is not visible from the tee box. Trust the aiming stake. So here's the scoop, a couple of years ago there was a microburst which took down hundreds of oak trees and the city, through eminent domain, had put in a pipeline through the middle of the course. The line is buried. This resulted in the course being closed for a bit. The owner did a great job of getting the course back up to speed. It plays like a links style course due to the tree loss but there are still a few tree lined fairways left. The greens were smooth and true.

Nice water hazrds needs smart play

Though several holes still are under repair, it is enough for fun. Lots of water/creek requires smart play. Overall very good course.

Not bad, but not great

Course layout was ok. Probably some of the best greens I have played in Dallas, but unfortunately there wasn't much grass everywhere else. For $25 you can't expect much

Great course can't wait for it to reopen.

Needs improvement on the fairways. Great staff really helpful and friendly. I'm sure the course is ready to close probably why the condition wasn't so great. Very fun course to play though. I hope you guys give it the attention it deserves to make it a beautiful course. Lots of potential.

Great wee course

Highly recommend this track.
The fairways are tight and not always a driver. The greens are smallish but very readable, less break that one thinks new players.
For first time players you would need to play with a local as there's quite a few hidden hazards of the tee boxes.

Go play this course, great value for the money
