Old Brickyard Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Very, Very Challenging Hole Photo submitted by fryersroost on 05/08/2013
The "Greens" were not usable
Played this course several times and it is an OK course for the money. However it looks like they just completely neglected the greens because they are all dirt and Poa. So it's either dirt or little weed all over.
The putting green by the club house was also closed because it was in such bad shape.
Saw the cart girl once. No bartender inside.
Overall there are so many other courses around for the price that are better.
Old Brickyard
Loved elevation changes fairways in good condition greens were in terrible condition. If they get the greens in order, I will definitely recommend but not if wind is blowing out of the north.
Great fun course
Awesome course with a great layout and fun use of water. The par 3 8th across the pond and the par 5 10th around the lake was great and challenging. Green conditions were quite poor, but were still early in the season. There were no marshals out, but my two-some this morning was able to finish our round in 3.5hrs. Not very busy, and super friendly staff. I’ll definitely be back even though it’s a bit of a drive.
Greens = Atrocious
The greens need Jesus and a lot of TLC. Everything else is fine for the money being paid. But very hard to look past the greens when every putt being hit is galloping/trotting like a horse.
Love the course but
Greens have gotten away from them. Love the slope and how challenging some of the shot are but then get let down once I get there. Would still play again and recommend, just hope to get a good putting surface and it would be a top course
Horrible greens
I just wish I hadn’t spent $228 to take my family from out of town to a course where the greens were better for grazing goats.
Challenging course
Old Brickyard’s layout is a nice challenge for an average golfer. A few blind shots and some elevated tee boxes on par 3s. Greens were in decent shape for the most part. Food at the clubhouse was similar to that of a convenience store. Hot dogs weren’t ready so we had to microwave some burgers that were pre packaged (made our stomachs hurt). If all you care about is playing a challenging course for a good value, this is a good option.
Skip this place
This place is a joke. Staff acts put out you are there. Carts suck. The tee boxes are almost as bad as the greens. The range was below average. The layout was decent but everything else is super rough
Finished in 3 hours
Tee’d off early as a twosome 2 other twosomes behind us. Everyone played fast and finished in 3 hours. Very windy on Sunday which made it more challenging.
Great day
They are always super nice, the course generally isn’t, but it is fun as heck and has some very cool holes… Fun place to try to and shoot a good score, It literally has probably six of the coolest holes and all of Dallas scattered throughout that course, and along the water
was OK
Hard to say how it will be in a couple months as we are just now coming out of dormancy. Poa is starting to get bad on greens.
