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.

Nice Place 20 year ago!!
This place used to be a country club.
It’s about a $35.00 course now. Trees overgrown. Fairways are beaten down, missing grass, tree roots growing above ground everywhere. Hit the ball in the fairway and it rolls 100 yards into trouble because the grass/hard pan fairway. Total junk course. Overgrown trees alone make it a total joke. Tee boxes so hard, dry and grass free that you can’t get a tee in the ground and you are standing on dirt/hard pan.
TOTAL JUNK.

Could be a very nice course
Lay out nice, course could very nice. Majority of greens were in poor condition, all tee boxes were in bad condition, all of the Bunkers were dry pan very little sand if any, no ball washers. It was the end of winter early spring but my city course is not like this. Your course could be so nice if someone were to give it some TLC , fertilizer and weed spray. I would and my playing partner would love to come back and rewrite my review , you have so much potential. Thanks Craig

Great layout
Overall the experience was fun. Great layout and given the time of year and recent winter storm the course was in good shape. Pace of play is most likely always an issue. I say that because if it’s an issue on a slow Monday you can expect it to be more of the same when it’s busy. The hot deal I got was definitely worth it, $24 with tax, but at regular price still not too bad.
Thank you so much for the feedback. We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. We will use your review to better the experience going forward.
