Thorntree Country Club

With all the rain we have had, one would think the fairways would be better.

Thorntree is a beautiful layout with challenging greens and terrain. I feel like it’s a precision course that gives you option of the tee but not much room for bailout on the approach shot.

the course is in pretty bad shape. The staff was overall pretty good. but it doesn't make up the bad conditions of the course.

2nd time to play Thorntree in 2019 since it went from private country club to public course. First time experience for my playing partners. All agreed the course has fallen far and hard from its former days of glory. It needs a lot of TLC. It won't keep me from coming back, just with adjusted expectations. It was about worth the $30 we paid for a Sunday afternoon round.

Good course, with fun and interesting holes. Some are a definite challenge for all but the most accurate players. Staff was great, as was pace of play. Keep in mind that grass is dormant this time of year, thus fairways will be hard and brown.

The staff here is fantastic! The fairways are a little dry but the greens are amazing. Definitely need to make sure that you drive up the course a bit to view hidden shots.

Played on a Sunday for the second time. Very slow round (12:20 tee time, 5pm end). Many tee boxes are slanted. Greens were spongy and slow but otherwise OK. My main qualms with this course is the design. It is not a fair course. Multiple holes have a random tree smack in the middle of the fairway, penalizing good shots. There are many blind tee shots and approach shots. You’d need a yardage book (which they don’t have) or a caddy to know what club to hit off the tee and what shot shape you need. I would not recommend this course.

A private country club recently opened to the public. Despite winter conditions the course was in good shape. The pro shop was super friendly and very accommodating!! Thank you!! Had a great time and course layout was fun especially in the back 9. Holes 9-16 are the best on the course IMO. can’t wait to play it when it’s green!

The greens were in great shape. The course has several challenging holes. There were several greens that had just enough slope or elevations that made this a challenging course.

1st time playing the playing the course. Definitely a challenge but can’t wait to play it again

starting your round 30 min. late would put one in a bad mood you might be able to recover from....not the case when playing s great payout like this. mr.krupa gave us two small buckets for our delay.nice gesture. sad part with a tee time of 2:15 30 min delay means last three holes were not played.great layout with every hole has character .

First time playing Thorntree now that is open to the public. Greens were in great shape. Fairway grass was dormant so want to play it later this spring. Challenging course made even more difficult by 20 mph+ swirling winds all afternoon. The staff was awesome. You will be hard pressed to find a more friendly staff all the way around. I will definitely be back.

Played on a cold day (High 30’s / low 40’s) so the course was empty, which allowed for a 2-hour round. It’s been 25+ years since my last time here, but the challenging layout I recalled was still there. Course conditioning and maintenance was commensurate with the green fee ($30). It brought to mind the Golf Club of Dallas (the old Oak Cliff CC): the strength of the course design continues to shine despite the decline of age and a limited maintenance and upkeep budget.

So this course just became semi-private. It popped up on GolfNow, so I decided to go play. Awesome decision. Staff was great, especially Robin the beverage attendant. I was a single so they paired me up with another guy who had never played it. Course is challenging and fun. Greens were perfect and I I can’t wait to go back.

This is an excellent course and in great shape. The greens are in excellent shape.
