The Resort Golf Club

This course has a chance of being something. However, it is apparent that it's being managed poorly.
Start with the staff at the clubhouse. I guess it's a little difficult to smile when it's hot. (98 degrees was the high when I played)
So before I started my round, I made sure to have plenty of water and Gatorade. So I went inside to ask one of the ladies in the restaurant if I could take an ice chest into the course. "There's already one on your cart." Was her terse answer. What she didn't tell me was that the cooler had dirty water in it and no ice at all. I figured I had better get to the tee box and ai would ask one of the cart persons to give me some ice.
I guess they can't afford a beverage cart out here (I thought this was a resort?)
Then there was the absolutely ignorant decision of the greens keeper to water the course in the middle of the day. Don't take my word for it, just read this pull quote from an article in Southern Living Magazine: Stupid Lawn Tricks

"Using sprinklers in the blazing hot sun. Hello? Using sprinklers when it’s sunny and 95 degrees is dumber than swimming with polar bears. Practically all the water applied will evaporate into the hot air before ever reaching the roots. You might as well water the storm drain."
Not only were they watering with sprinklers, (I can almost understand the quick application of water on greens) but they were really flooding parts of the course. Take, for instance, the beautiful but quite narrow, No. 9. I hit one of the few good shots of the day on my drive and it landed about 260 yards right in the center of the fairway, a shot that should have carried another 29-30 yards. Unfortunately, because there was now a bog in the middle of the fairway, my ball hit and went "thunk." It was so wet there, that I Had to place the ball back and to the right just to take my second shot.
The rest of the round was just as disappointing as it was a combination of weird layouts, more overwatered areas and not one visit from a cart person.
Sorry, but I won't be back

Overall great course, nestled around the subdivision. A few tight fairways but not too difficult to handle. Would take a friend back.

First time playing this course. Everything was great except they punched greens and didn't water sand in. I should have called course before making drive to northeast side of eagle mtn lake. Will play again when greens are true.

The greens were the best Ive played all year.Course is in great condition.

nice course pretty challanging. needs to have more yardage markers to assist those of us without a yardage scope.

Grens were soft, but fairways were practically dead. Cracked in some places as if it is ready to begin eating golf balls.

This is a shot makers course. I never used a driver and only used my 3 wood about 3 or 4 times. Tee boxes were hard as a rock. Sometimes couldn't even get the tee in the ground. Fairways were also very hard and a lot of dead spots too which makes for great drives to be in terrible hard pan in the middle of the fairway. The greens were in decent shape and the bunkers were kept up nice. If this course was watered regularly I would recommend it but for now I wouldn't go back.

I played this course last year during the drought, and the conditions of the course were terrible. The layout of the holes is amazing. If this course was taken better care of, it would be a top 3 course in DFW. This outing, I loved my experience at the course. The fairways were still a little burned in a couple spots, rock hard in certain spots, and a few dirt patches, but the greens and overall course was in great shape!

I would definitely recommend someone to play this course in 2015.

The course is a challenging layout with water, traps, rough and some fairly narrow fairways. Lots of houses so if that is not your thing you will not like the course. Great pace of play as I was in and out in 3 hours. Had the course to myself it felt like. My only real criticism is this course gets dried out. While that helps your drives most of the tee boxes were like concrete. Placing a tee became work. But that is not much of a criticism. I had a nice time and will be back. Greens were in excellent shape.... fast enough and held shots well.

I have played this course several times this summer, and I had also played it a couple of times a few years back. It is a very challenging design with narrow fairways, and excellent greens that roll like mini ice rinks in addition to featuring several ridges and plateaus. The staff is also extremely friendly and helpful. That's the good news, and it is very good news indeed. Here comes the hard part, but I want to stay objective.
As with lots of golf courses in this economic recession that has not yet recovered, several corners from the glory days gave been cut. The carts no longer feature GPS, fortunately I carry a hand held unit. The sprinkler system is currently being repaired, and that has left several holes designated as Cart Path Only. Fortunately we've had record rains here this spring and summer so despite several fairways starting to display hard pan conditions, there's not actually a whole lot of any particular spot that needs to be re sodded. The downside is that the greens keeper crew which has obviously been downsized has a hard time keeping up with the necessary mowing. This results into several balls disappearing into 3 - 6 inch rough, sort of an over penalization for the weekend warrior. After all, I can understand losing a ball that gets knocked out into the woods, or into the drink, but actual loss of ball for a shot that merely strays from the fairway is a bit much.

This is not a bad trac........but when they let so many 5somes play! We left after 9 because it had been 3+ hours and did not want to play the second 9. They offer a nice rate but I would rather pay twice that amount and play where they pay attention to what is going on. LAST TIME FOR ME!

The rain has helped this course. Everything was in good shape and the staff was very nice. I will play here again.

This course is challenging to some degree because of the water and sand but a great course to play. The staff are excellent and the course is superbly kept. If you want a great day of golf then by all means play The Golf Club At The Resort.

Fairways are very hard. Greens in great shape. Many fairways too narrow and very close together. Built on the cheap...

One would think after all the rain in the area that this course would be in good shape. I was very disappointed as to how the condition of tee boxes and the fairways. The course had more groups walking causing major backups throughout. Very discouraging...

Great course for the value. Holes on the course are tight, but you still will have a decent shot from other fairways.

With all of the rain in Texas, the greens here were AMAZING!!

The staff is friendly and the course has a great layout. The turf is hard as a rock and there are bare spots everywhere. With all of the rain we've had I find this unacceptable. Very poor grounds keeping and pitiful greens added to my disappointment. This was not my first round here but it will be my last. I guess I will have to drive into town from now on. Too bad, because it could be a nice course.

Website stated carts had gps. They did not. Distance markers poor. Played several years ago, however the holes were not clear on scorecard, and without gps,we were hitting into blind areas, and so hit into hazards. Several holes in back corner, there were many golfers criss crossing holes. Lead to extreme back ups. Carts were not readily available. We had to walk into cart shack to receive one. No beverage service, that we saw, on course.

Tee blocks and fairways were in rough shape. This could be due to the time of year. The greens were in good shape. The course is laid out well set amongst housing. Would play here again.
