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
Last time
To many blind shots cost 8s ok until you account for all the balls your going to lose.
Definitely should not play this course on a windy day
Golf
OBY is one of my favorites when I want to dial in and find time my game. Open fairways but challenging as well. Lots of elevated greens are fun.
Challenging layout
Played on a windy day. Course is in pretty good shape, Most greens were in great shape. Overall enjoyed it very much.
Not bad at all, if you like right lies.
Fairways are narrow and undulating and hard to hit (loved it). Very tight lies everywhere. Almost like West Texas hard pan, but with a little grass. Greens were in very good shape. They held very well, putted true and we’re nice and fast (10 or 11, as a guess). Note: blind tee shots and hard fairways lend a hand in encroaching on the group in front of you. Be careful.
Could be better
One day this course will have the right financial investment to get it to the level the layout deserves. The putting green, driving range, and clubhouse could use updating. Brickyard is a real gem underneath the lack of a higher standard.
Great course for the cost
An interesting course! When the gentleman in the pro shop handed me the course guide he mentioned some ‘interesting’ holes. What an applicable description.
Some areas need attention (weeds) but somewhat a hidden gem for us. With the very cost-efficient green fees and geographic proximity, we will be back.
Fun layout good greens.
Many interesting holes, with lots of elevation changes, some blind shots, but the greens rolled nice. Fairways and rough dry and thin, they should use some water from all the water hazards for irrigation.
They are making much needed improvements to some of the cart paths which made for a smoother ride. Some of the old paths were grave and very rough. The stop brake on the cart we used hardly worked which was a problem because this is a hilly course. My wife loves the layout so we will be back to play soon.
Must play
If you haven’t played this course make some plans to play it .. The greens are in AMAZING condition rolling true. I haven’t played here in a couple of years and I don’t recall the greens ever being that NICE. The pace of play was excellent for a morning tee time. I recommend you make that drive you won’t be disappointed.
Great greens, but other issues make it overpriced
The greens at Old Brickyard are really good. As in as good as you would expect paying $40 to play on a weekend morning. However, the tee boxes were in some cases almost completely devoid of grass, and there were too many places where the players in front of us looked like they were safely gone and out of reach only to reappear. There are just too many blind spots, and without something like a GPS unit on the cart or something else to tell you when it's safe to hit, you just end up with the 200 yard hitters being mad at you all day when you think they're gone and you and your 15 year old son both drive it past where they were waiting to hit their 3rd shots because of going into the trees and taking way longer than the allowed 3 minutes to look for their balls.
That all said, if the rate was something like $30 on a weekend, I would likely have had little concern about the pace of play or lack of technology. However, at $40+ (with tax / fees), this was an overpriced round.
Slow Pace
Overall it is not a. bad course but the pace of play was horrible. Finished 10 minutes shy of 5 hours. There is not a Marshall to keep the pace of play going. They could certainly add more yardage markers. The only markers are the flat stones in the middle of the fairways. Greens were mostly in good condition. Tee boxes could use some top dressing as they have a lot of uneven spots that can make it more difficult teeing off. Also a lot of errant shots flying around from other fairways. There seemed to be a lot of beginner level golfers out there that also don’t understand etiquette.
