Old Brickyard Golf Course
About
Some argue that the tricked-up golf course has no place in today’s game, but they might change their mind after visiting the eclectic Old Brickyard. As the name implies, the course lays out in and around an old brickyard, featuring dramatic elevation changes, blind shots, and some unbelievable, almost impossible holes. This is one you’ll want to play just to say you’ve seen it.
The opening holes are pretty basic as you traverse northward before turning into the meat of the course, where the dramatic elevation changes start wreaking havoc on your club selection. After about the third or fourth hole, every hole seems to have some unique feature.
The Old Brickyard Lake comes into play on holes 9-11, some of the most difficult holes you’ll find anywhere. After you limp homeward suffering near-disasters on the tricky par 3 No. 8, which plays over water and seems to drop about 5 stories, and the demented 9th hole, which features a funky tee shot and challenging approach over water to a difficult green, No. 10 is not a welcome sight. Hole 10 plays from an elevated tee box, with water along the right. Water comes into play on the next two shots as well, since it cuts across the dogleg-right fairway. If you’re struggling, this is a double-digit hole for sure.
There’s no real break after No. 10, either. The 13th requires a precision short iron to a tiered green. More surprises await as you finish the round, so be prepared. The yard is a fun day of golf.
Getting there : Take I-45 south from Dallas to Ferris, then exit 267 and continue down the access road to the entrance on the right.

Golfer Reviews
Good Course Good Value
Staff was great. Course was good as it could be after lst winter. Greens were surprisingly fast (9). Had a good time! Hole 10 is hard but real cool.
Old Brickyard is back
Old Brickyard is back. We played just before they closed half of the course because of the severe cold weather. Lots of damage. They have worked hard putting in new sod. Wow! Good job guys. We will be back.
Great Time at The Old Brickyard
Played Sunday morning at 10:30 finished in 4 hours 10 minutes. Course was in good shape, greens were well above average compared to the others courses I have played in the last 45 days. I think its one of the best priced value around, $35 for prime time weekend green fee is by far the cheapest of any other course in the area. Really like the new cart fleet they have, I ask the guy behind the counter in the pro shop and he said they were 3 weeks old. Least to say my group will be back, we had a great time.
New Greens are Good
Played Sunday morning with a couple of friends to see how the new greens turned out after they resprigged most of them 7 weeks ago. They are great, still have a couple of spots that they are still working on but overall I was impressed. Booked another tee time for next weekend before i left.
Remodeled Greens are Amazing!!!
I received an email earlier in the week saying the golf course has reopened all 18 holes after replanting the greens and several tee boxes in late June. I went out there with little expectations because I knew how much grass they lost from the ice storm. All I can say is WOW, they have done a fantastic job and they once again, have some of the best greens around. I don't know who the greens superintendent is but he did one heck of a job. Sure is nice being able to tee off on a hole and you cannot find a divot anywhere because the tees are brand new. Liked it so much, going back again this weekend.
Course has gone downhill
They are making repairs but that doesn’t excuse trash on the holes, water from sprinklers in the fairway and mud everywhere on the holes that are open.
Potential that completely misses
Course has great potential but is terrible. 9 holes open, 3 make shift greens out of those 9 open holes, and a 4.5 hr round with 3 people. Rough
DO NOT COME HERE
Awful experience. The course is in horrible shape… pretty much unplayable. You’ll spend more time driving trying to find a hole that isn’t under repair then you will actually playing.
all you can play...is the only good thing
course is way out of whack...don't slip on the moss growing on side walk ...they are working on it but it is suffering greatly in the process...will try it again when work is done...9 hole scattered randomly and play all you want for 25$ is good deal for practice maybe just don't expect a real round at all. no crowds is a plus...hopefully this doesn't put them out of business because I do like the course!
SERIOUSLY watch were you step the moss from crazy watering is super slick!!!
No water and he told us we couldn't take a cooler...NOT COOL
Goat Ranch
I have played this course several times in the past and it was in good shape, but not any more. The greens and fairways are have more brown grass then green, it's not very well kept at all. It was actually depressing how bad this golf course was, It was so bad we left after just playing 9 holes. No way they should be charging so much to play this course. Don't waste your time or money.
Half the Course Is Shut Down
When I booked the tee time there was nothing that said that half of the golf course was closed. They claimed in the pro shop that they had suffered some damage to the course from the freeze, but the freeze was 6 months ago, are you kidding me???? The two sad things that I have to say about this course is that 1. it's a course that I have really enjoyed playing in the past and 2. I drove 50 miles from my home to get there,just to find out that there were only nine holes open!!!
Awful Course Conditions
We did not know, until we got there (after we already paid) that the course was under repair. They only had 9 holes available for play, and some of those holes had a temporary green. The conditions were awful. We should have been made aware of the condition of the course prior to play. In my opinion, this course,right now, SHOULD NOT be listed on golfnow. We paid way too much to play under these conditions.
