Grand Oaks Golf Club

New club house with very friendly staff, Had a great time!!

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.

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.

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

Had a good time, a tuff course, had a good time with family

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

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.

Usually a good course, rain left it in poor conditions.

Can't beat the price, Sand traps are still under repair, but all else was great.

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

The course was in great condition for being in the middle of HOT weather in Texas..
Would play again

Played the course for the first time. Wasn't expecting much but decided to check it out based on other reviews. I'm glad I did. Course was in great shape. Could not asked for a better experience for the price point.

Challenging track with plenty of old growth trees and water. Great Staff.

This is a wonderful course to play, and quite challenging. The course conditions are fantastic! This is a must play!

We played on a 100 degree day but the course kept us filled with cold water. Even with the hot summer, the tee boxes were nice the the greens were great. I will play again soon.

Will keep playing as long as it stays in the current condition. Roughs were nice....slight penalty for missing fairway but not brutal. Fairways and greens were very good. Many bunkers were being worked on...which for me is fine...got a free drop as they were not playable...LOL. Overall, a vrey good deal.

It is easy to see how this course used to be grand, but not any more. The greens were, for the most part, in pretty good shape, but very grainy. Fairways had several really brown spots with extremely thin grass. The water hazards have a lot of trash. Some of the tees are missing the markers for the hole's layout. Some of the tee boxes are a little chewed up. The buildings are in need of some basic maintenance, and there are places where the cart paths are extremely rough. Local knowledge of where to hit the ball off the tee, and your second shot on par five's is important. Also, being very clear on how far you hit your driver in the air is gonna save you some heart-ache. Water, waste areas, and ditches come into play pretty often. There are lots of mature trees and some narrow fairways, so straight is better than long on most holes. When this course has some time to recover, I think it may be worth the drive from Garland, but not now.
