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.

Good course to play

Enjoyed a leisurely game as a foursome (slotted by the club). Challenging layout and some of the longest holes I've played. Reasonably maintained greens and fairways. Not much sogginess due to overnight rain. Very peaceful surroundings, away from the noise of the city. Will definitely play again. Carts can be equipped with GPS for the first-time player, luckily the people i played with were very familiar with the layout and the bunkers and hazards. Could have been more challenging otherwise.

A Course in Decline

I have played here multiple times over the past 3 years, and have always enjoyed the round. However, over the past 2-3 rounds it has become obvious that the summer heat, the flash flooding that effects the creeks that run through the property, and the lack of maintenance have now taken their toll. The tee boxes show heavy use, the fairways have minimum grass coverage, there are multiple dirt sections of the playable areas, there are signs of erosion on most sloped areas, and the bunkers were so damaged, most were unplayable. This is a shame, as Thorntree has the bones to be a great course. The staff is always friendly, but what they have to work with has slipped to a point were Thorntree will no longer be a course that I will play.

Challenging course. Hole placements made the greens challenging. A few patches in the fairways were sub standard but forgivable due the dry season. Well worth the buck. Pace of play was below average , but players courteous and let our group play through. Good experience. Thanks

What a Coarse

This is the most challenging coarse I have ever played. It was an awesome experiences. I played from the White tees. If you do not hit the ball 270 or more, I would not play from the tips. There is one whole that is a 598 yards par 5. There are trees all over the place. If you hit left or right, you might be doing some tree management. LOL I found this out, yes, the hard way. LOL The greens will roll good and true. How ever, if hitting down hill, the will roll and roll. Watch your speed. If you like a challenge, you will fall in love with this coarse. The Staff, Really friendly. And do what they can to be helpful. I hope you play golf because it is a challenge. If so, This will be your test every time you play it. I will be back.

Value for Money

I’ve played course on several occasions but only with discounts. Would recommend highly but on with discount. . I think rates are over priced and there’s no seniors discount. Would be in my rotation if it honored seniors & military.
