Rating 74.9

Thorntree opened in 1984, and while it has changed ownership multiple times over the years,it remains one of the toughest courses in the DFW area. The course features six lakes and three spring-fed creeks that spice up the layout, as well as immaculate fairways and challenging bent-grass greens.

On the front, No. 5 stands out as one of the most difficult holes – a 400 yard-plus par 4 that runs through a chute of trees and doglegs right into a green sided by a pond.

The back is a bit more difficult, which you’ll realize quickly due to the 666-yard double dogleg No. 10. The next hole is only a 382- yard par 4, but the approach is dicey into the shallow green. No. 13 is another nice hole–only 338 yards with another challenging approach into a green that’s guarded by an old thorn tree.

Getting there : From I-35 south, take the Wintergreen Road exit and turn right. Drive 4 miles to the course, and the entrance is on the right side.

Goat ranch

Saw the pictures on GolfNow couple from Google. Read most of the reviews before I booked this round showed up for a 752 teetime

Waited almost 10 minutes every hole as a threesome of absolute sticks course was an absolute goat ranch I’m sure this place is nice when the grass is green, but dang it was tan and muddy out there.

2 Face Golf Course!! 🤣 which one are you going to see?

This Golf course will challenge you every aspect from your game. The font nine in my opinion starts off easy but once we made the turn is when you had to put your thinking cap on. A lot of the holes require a precise yardage and angle to have a good look or easier shot to the greens. If you are a fan of slope this course will test your skill. The greens were great and have a lot of slope to them. Didn’t really have a straight putt all day. This golf course great test from the blue tees and unless you know this course and where to miss you don’t need to hit from the tips. Overall this course will test your patience and also your course management skills. Miss it on the the wrong side of the pins and you will pay for it. Bring your A game with teeing it up here. Will return

Nice Course......dishonest employees

Pros.....really nice course layout. Pace of play was ok and price was very reasonable as a weekday "Hot Deal"

Cons.....left my range finder on cart at end of round but it was not turned in by cart return staff. Now the overall price is not too reasonable withbadding in yhe replacement cost. No water privided on the course so be sure to bring some. And fairway bunkers have no sand and are unplayable.

Good shape

Course is in good shape. Greens needed to be mowed. $70 with a cart is a little steep. If you get a deal don’t miss the opportunity.

Need rain

Tee boxes need water. Greens were a little slow this time. Need course maintenance to remove dead limbs that could fall on carts or people with serious I injury

Tee boxes hard as a rock so bring hammer for tees, Greens in very good shape. Maintenance needs to remove dead limbs falling from trees. No water or cart for refreshments on course. Food and beverages inside closed at 1.30 pm so just water and bathroom after golf. Not gps in carts. Maybe fall rain and cooler weather will help some. Too close for me not to play some anyway.
