About
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.

Recipe for Disaster
100 plus degree temps and not a drop of water on the course Absolutely no excuse. Someone is going to get hurt!
Dependable Track & Conditions
Always have liked the layout; greens seemed slower then usual but letting the grass grow during the summer is not a bad thing. Beers were only $5 for a 16 oz and cart came around often and having the bag of ice for the cool wraps was essential! Good course, good people, good time!
Hello, Kirkoman. Thank you for visiting us at Thorntree Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Best course for miles!!!
Greens and tee boxes are pure as can be, not a single weed on the course, really tough layout from the tips too… I think this is the best spot to play in the DFW for the money for sure.
And the team is actually friendly and not semi rude or dismissive.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Thorntree Country Club.

Course was in great shape! Greens were exceptional! It will challenge you to shape some shots.

8 person groups
Course is great. The problem is they have no Marshall. It was 100 degrees and a 5 hour round. 3 groups in front of us had anywhere from 6-8 people playing in there groups. Cart girl told us they book 2 tee times and play together. Never seen a course this backed up. These bozos had 7 people in there group, while trying to teach their girlfriends to play. Chunking ball up the fairway. Horrible to allow 3 groups to ruin the entire day for everyone.

Brought Client To Play Golf
Have played here before and fairways were in much better shape. Surprised they were not in top shape this early in the year.
The client I took to play was not as impressed as I had hyped the course up to be.

On course amenities
We saw beverage personnel after our first hole & never saw anybody again.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that our staff wasn't as attentive as you expected and we appreciate your feedback.
Good course terrible customer service
Booked a early tee time on a Holiday weekend so expected Holiday pricing. I was unaware that on course services would be nonexistent. On a 5 hour round we did not see the beverage cart 1 time! On a day where the heat is rising and the round is long this is unacceptable.
I love this course overall it’s fun to play and usually in good shape but they seem to be running on a skeleton crew right now. No beverage cart, no Marshall, and only 2 people working the restaurant.
When I mentioned the above to an employee post round I was told you should’ve just bought drinks before you went out. I mean we would’ve had someone told us there would be no snacks or Gatorade available on course.

Don’t play behind a tournament! Nice course though
Our round took 6 hours and 7 minutes. We tee’d off 50 minutes after our scheduled time. The greens and course were in excellent condition, but the scheduling of regular tee times behind a tournament was a huge mistake. It was by far the longest round of my life, even though several groups ahead of us got frustrated and left.

They sold tee times while a full tournament was going on. Every hole was 4 groups deep and my tee time (that was delayed 40 minutes) look nearly 4 hours to play 9 holes

Upon arriving, told tee times were 3-4 groups behind. Threes groups waiting on tee boxes the entire front nine. 3pm scheduled tee time and couldn’t play the 18th hole due to darkness. Pace of play has never been stellar here but this was an all time low.

Pace of play was horrendous
This was the worst experience of golf I think I have ever had. We only played 3 holes because we teed off 20 minutes late and we waited behind 2 groups at each hole. There was a tournament going on earlier that day so it makes sense why it would be backed up but that could be fixed by not overbooking the course. Overall, not a bad course but the pace of play was unbearable.

Great value
Course was in pretty good shape. Had some areas that needed attention but overall really good. Greens were much better than I expected.

Poor
I would not come and spend money to play here. Pace of play is ridiculously slow. Members of the course refused to let us play thru citing a “members privilege”. Course condition is poor and greens are exceptionally slow.
