The Fred Couples Signature course is the centerpiece of the Bridges at Preston Crossing. The golf course sprawls across rolling hills that most don't associate with north Texas. Mature trees dot the lush meadows, sliced with ribbons of tall native grasses. The parkland layout has a fair amount of challenges and it is especially tough on a windy day. There are subtle but tricky contours thanks to the undulating landscape and several strategically placed bunkers lurk throughout. Water is not too much of a threat on this golf course, except for the memorable finishing hole. This beastly par 5 lays measures 645 yards and wraps around a massive water hazard. The Bridges is a local favorite because not only is it a challenging round, it is also an affordable one.

Terrible greens and pace of play

We played yesterday and the greens situation was terrible. None of the greens were consistent. The pace of play on the front was great, we came in right at two hours. After hole 11 were were waiting 30 minutes to play a hole. The Marshall was out in the cart on the first tee but he was not managing pace of play throughout the course.

Will not be coming back, there is no reason to pay $90 to play this course.

Mothers Day Play

Played behind a young couple with 2 toddlers and an infant. When she hit, he held the baby and vice versa. Meanwhile the two toddlers (both under 5) were wacking balls around the fairways and greens. When they drove down the fairways (2 carts) the toddlers hung off the back. Neither the husband or the wife were good golfers. Hacks.

Meanwhile there was plenty of room ahead of them.

No rangers.

Good course away from DFW

Gunter is a bit far out of the DFW metroplex but if you're near the McKinney area take the leisurely north drive to Gunter to play the course. Wide fairways, large greens but still tricky to play.

Always enjoy playing this course

Great course, it was still cart path only as of 5/7/25. Driving range was closed but everything should open up soon with the sun and slight wind. Greens are rolling great, tall fescue very punishing if you stray away from the fairways.

Update

Fairways filling in nicely. Grass on tees and around greens doing well. Greens were a bit slow due to long-ish cut. A few muddy or aerated spots but not too bad. In good shape overall. Always a fun layout and Sunday was a gorgeous weather day. We were the 4th group out and took 4.5 hours due to one group playing the tips and hitting it 200 off the tee (why?!?!). No marshals or pace of play review. It was nice to get off the paths only 2 days after heavy rain. Always a good trip out to Gunter, hopefully able to grow some good rough or consistent fairway grass this summer.

Must Play Now

What a difference a year makes. Played this course last April and it was in terrible condition. Tee boxes this time were in great shape, fairways grown in nicely, and the greens rolled great! This is a tough course, even from the blues at 6500yards. The fescue will punish you if you’re slightly off target. Live the challenge!
