The Tribute Golf Club - Old Course
Rating Snapshot
About
A Scottish-themed, links-style track that plays along the shores of Lake Lewisville, The Tribute one-ups the Tour 18 approach of modeling the world’s finest golf holes. Patterned his design after the revered holes of St. Andrews, Troon, Prestwick, etc., Tripp Davis created an immaculate track that rolls over terrain strikingly similar to the dunes and grasses over the Atlantic.
From the tips the course plays to a par 72 7,002 yards, but its most strikingly entertaining feature is its playability from the forward tees. In total, four sets of tees are available to even things out for the high handicappers.
St. Andrews is well represented on the first and last holes at The Tribute, where they offer the world’s largest fairway as a great way to start and finish your round.
Other notes: Don’t forget to inquire about the club’s seven guest rooms and available stay-and -play packages. The facility has hopes of opening another 18 and an adjoining hotel sometime in the near future.
Getting there : From 75 Expressway, take Hwy. 121 west to 423 (main street of The Colony). Turn right (north) to Boyd Road. Turn left, then drive 2.5 miles to the clubhouse.

Great Course
Fairways and greens were in great shape. Maybe because of college football, pace of play was great. Only negative comment might be a few pin placements.....
Tournament ready
It’s in the best shape I’ve seen it. The LPGA is coming so this is a great time to play it.
Good experience, could have been better!
Course was in great shape. Greens were amazing!
There was no drinking water all the course! All water station jugs were empty. This is not acceptable at a course that has so many great things going for it.
Review
All was well. The greens had been sanded very recently but they rolled true. Fairways were in great condition, as were the tee boxes. The rough was rough, as was proper.
My only complaint was that they could have arranged for a bit more breeze. But then, if we thought we could control the weather ...
Great Course, Good Condition
The course was in very good condition. Greens had been recently punched, but were almost back to perfect. Definitely worth the price when fees are below the rack rate, but I certainly wouldn’t rate it as worthy of $129.
Always Great
The course is in great shape! Fairways and greens were exceptional. Frequent visits by cart attendant and lots of cold water around the course! Pace of play was excellent!
Worth the drive!
Fairways are generous, undulating and great grass. Greens recently areated but healing well... slightly slow, but very playable. The only negative is placement of tees too close to the overgrown waste area grass immediately in front of tee box. Couple were less than 5 yards from 6ft tall grass, impossible to get driver over. Great place to play for the $39 green fee. Would not pay the $129 rate....choose tee time wisely.
Recently Punched Greens
Recently punched greens is my only ‘downer’. Fairways and bunkers are perfection.
If you have never experienced links golf, I suggest you give The Tribute a try. And if the wind is blowing off the lake, bring your A game!
Played this back in July and the course was in good condition. I liked the fact that everythign was out in front of you. No trickly holes etc. Played with 3 other guys and we had a good time. The greens are challenging since there is a lot of shape to them seemed like everything moved.
Tribute to The Tribute
First time in Dallas playing The Tribute. Very Enjoyable Round! Loved the course layout and conditions were outstanding that day. Only drawback is that my brother and I played after five and we ended at dark. Two reasons...
One, we weren't permitted to drive our cart on the course off the cart path to locate our shots and two, their was a couple that jumped in front of us at the turn that played extremely SLOW on the back nine!
Otherwise it was a great day! Loved the GRIFFINS at the entrance to the parking lot/clubhouse. That was my old high school mascot, and I had to get a hat with the griffs on it.
Well maintained and classic layout
Pros: The course is very well manicured and forgiving for misses. The design is wide open which helps speed up play because players spend less time looking for balls. If you’re a big golf fan you’ll recognize several of the holes on this course.
Cons: Cost can be prohibitive unless you play weekdays or late in the day on weekends. For $130, you can play much nicer and more exclusive clubs. It’s always windy here because it’s right on the lake.
Easy
Really open and challenging but not to hard for your average weekly golfer as long as you can drive the ball straight then you’ll be in good shape
Fabulous time
Stay in bounds! Rough is thick so you need to stay in most fairways. Greens are true and firm. Great layout and look forward to playing again especially when they offer a great rate!
Bang for your dollar!
Best bang for the money since moving to Dallas! For $30 on Golf Now it is a great deal. Tees, fairways, greens, and bunkers in Excellent condition!
