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
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.
Really confusing layout
The cart paths were very narrow bumpy and not well marked. Hard to find the tees. Not a fam of some of the holes that are completely blind. The brisket sandwiches were really good and the staff was friendly. There were alot of bumpy patches on the course.
Interesting
Fun course, very unique but 4 blind holes need some work. Not able to see anything(fairway or green) leads to way too much uncertainty. Pro shop shoved a twosome in between our twosome and the threesome in front if us at the turn. Starting them on 10 sandwiched in front of us instead of starting them on 1 was a money grab and not cool.
Don’t play this course
First, the course layout is ridiculous. So many blind shots oh and switchbacks on the cart path from green to tee in where you could easily get hit by the previous tee. The long drive from 15 to 16 is stupid. Oh and yes you share a cart path with those on whole 13. The greens are terribly slow.
Why even have white tees when the scorecard only shows for Red, blue and gold?
Don’t waste your money. I’m not a great golfer but I do play a lot. This is just not a fun course and you need a helmet to be safe.
I shot a respectable 85 and that was completely just not giving a darn due to this isn’t a legit course.
Fun course with challenging holes
This is a fun course to play with unique elevation changes throughout. Several greens had areas under repair but these were limited, otherwise greens roll great and have enjoying & challenging slopes. My one critique is if you miss the fairway, the odds are limited you will recover your ball. Some of this is due to nature areas, others just need to be regularly mowed.
Great round.
Amazing Value for a Good Course
I'll be honest, pulling up to it I thought that maybe I would be overpaying for my round. Right off the highway, clubhouse doesn't look great, looking like a very casual crowd. Well, let me be the first to admit I was wrong, the course was actually extremely fun. It's not very long and a par 71 (USGA GHIN app calls it a par 70, but whatever) but what it lacks in length, it more than makes up for in creative hole layout, greens in fantastic shape, and just an overall tricky round. For the price, I would definitely recommend this course, and the replayability of it is strong since with the funky holes, you'll want another crack at them. Bunkers were a mess and some of the tee boxes were pretty unlevel / needing some care, but certainly did not detract from the experience. Have to mention how shockingly fast, smooth, and true the greens were. Get out there and play it!
Good Times!!!
You can always count on a great round of golf @ Old Brickyard! Course was in great shape and the greens were very consistent.
Old brickyard
Challenging course ,elevation changes where great.
Good golf course
Was hoping that the pro shop would let me take a rain check for the second nine as the temperature rose up over 105 and I was starting to get heat stroke and stopped after 5 holes, The course is nice, I just couldn’t handle the heat.
Great potential
Being the month of August the course was in decent shape. Improved cart paths are nice to see and hopefully they will update the carts soon as well. The price is a bit high for the overall quality, but with a few updates this could be the most underrated course in the area.
Pretty nice course.
Always interesting to play here. No one is coming around with water or anything. Also this time an oddity; I guess I hit a greenskeeper on a mower with a drive that went left and I didnt see him or where the ball landed. It was at the end of the drive but he made sure to sit there to let me know I hit him but I would think its an occupational hazard.
Continuing to improve
This course is maintaining the excellent conditions through the Tx heat. Not to mention the improvements they’ve been making to the cart paths! My son (5) loves playing here because of how friendly the staff is they make him feel like one of the guys?
Pace of play
I've tried playing here 3 times now and pace of play has been absolutely brutal each time. Groups seem to have no common golf etiquette and play an unbearably slow pace and won't let groups play through. Eventually had to skip holes just to go around them finally. Course has no sort of marshall out on the course helping with pace of play. 4 hours to play 18 as a single because of having to wait 10-15 minutes on each teebox is ridiculous.
