The Tribute Golf Club - Old Course

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.

A must play course
If you can get a good rate from Golf Now, this course will be the Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow.... I played 3 courses while in Texas, this was a standout course... beautiful everything, and very fast and true greens!
Good deals lately
Best course in north Texas for 32.75. Been wanting to play this course but didn't want to spend 65 dollars even for a hot deal. They sanded yesterday but it wasn't that noticable. For real get those deals while it lasts.
Great course!
Extremely hot and single-digit wind so we were baking for most of the round, but it was still enjoyable. Tee boxes, fairways, greens were all in great shape! It's always surprising how many people don't repair divots, but other than that the greens were perfect. The practice area is very well maintained and range balls are complimentary. Pace of play was the only downside as it was a 'hurry up and wait' kinda round, but we were still able to finish in just over 4 hours.
I highly recommend this course!
Awesome Course!
Fairways were immaculate, greens smooth, holes classic. 4 hr round on Monday late morning.
Fun course at a reasonable price
This course was just fun, the links style layout was probably as close as I’ll get to playing a course in Scotland and the staff was great.
The address on golf now is NOT correct. The right address for this course is
1000 Lebanon road
Hope that helps someone avoid being lost/late for their round
Very Nice
Wife and I played. Really fun layout. Caught a day with little wind so I suspect it played a little easier and the greens held due to previous day rain, this also made it cart path only. With the wide fairways it resulted in a lot of walking. Pace of play was good for cart path only. 10 min between groups vs some other courses tee times only 7 min apart. Barely waited the entire day. Greens were sanded and a little slow. Ate lunch in the bar, service was good, but food came out a little slow. The sandwiches were quite good and plenty of food for the money. Overall among the best courses in the Frisco area
A Hidden Gem
I can't afford a trip to Scotland, so this was the next-best thing, especially with the cool and grey skies overhead making it feel like a true Scottish links. And to top it off, the architects did a phenomenal job replicating some of the most famous holes from some legendary courses.
Course is in immaculate condition. There was some standing water in a few places, but it poured with rain the entire prior night and most of the morning so it's completely understandable. Only complaint is the greens, which were recently sanded and generally very slow, but somewhat inconsistent. Certain holes were lightning-quick while others you couldn't hit the ball hard enough. Nonetheless they were at the very least smooth and lines were readable.
Playing partner and I were kind of all over the place, and with cart path only rule in effect we wound up doing a lot of walking to and from our ball the entire afternoon. Nonetheless, we finished in almost exactly four hours. It wasn't the busiest day because of all the rain, but course marshalls were present and active, making sure things moved along.
Twilight play green fees were highly reasonable for a course of this quality as well, and their Players Club makes the fees even cheaper. Will happily come back many, many times.
Great links course!
I have played Saint Andrews and was impressed with this course! Staff and club house was excellent! The course is in great shape!
Overpriced and overplayed
Great layout and nice people cannot overcome $129 green fee for average conditions. Bunkers need attention and greens slow. Maybe $90. Maybe.
Scottish adventure
The course layout was great and it was fun playing the links type course layout. I was a bit annoyed that the greens were sanded and we were not told about it when we made the booking. Overall the course was good but there were areas where the course needed to be manicured a bit better with weeds around the edges of the bunkers making a great course look very average in places. That said still a good experience but not sure worth the $90
Great Experience
This was my first time out this spring and connected with a long time client & friend. We were greeted by Bob with a smile and some course wisdom, as the view of the perfectly blue sky greeted us on tee box #1. As we approached the #18 tee box, bag pipes serenaded our arrival to the 18 green -- very cool vibe. The round was not the best performed, but between the weather and the hospitality, we both left The Tribute with a smile and a warm heart for the time spent. Would highly recommend. this course and facility.
Cool experience
This course is a cool experience and made even more “Scotland like” by the three club wind. I don’t know if that is the norm around here but it made for a tough but fun day. Looks like they did a pretty good job replicating the hole layouts.
Disappointed
I've heard and read so much about this course over the years and never got that far north to play it. I finally got the chance and was disappointed. The back 9 was closed for bridge repairs.
