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
Cheap Course - has potential
Course offered tee boxes with nice open views of the course and interesting hole challenges; however, the course is not well maintained and falls short of It’s potential. Many of the greens are just dried up mud or dead grass. Sand traps are really just dark clumpy dirt. This was my 2nd time here and I most likely won’t return until it’s priced at its real value of about $20/round
Great time
Challenging course with several elevation changes. Great mixture of easy holes and very difficult holes.
Pace of play was great, Enjoyed the round.
A hidden jewel.
Very picturesque, greens in perfect condition. The layout was very challenging, I wanted to play the course again the next day.
Makes my top three in the Dallas area.
The only downer was they didn’t have hotdogs at the turn. But we will be back.
Very rude staff
Was told driving range was closed at 6:00p.m. On a Saturday. Staff is lazy and customer service is non existent. I will not be back.
Very fun track
This was a great change of pace! Very fun layout that requires you to be able to hit every shot. Greens were surprisingly in really good shape and fast. I estimate them to have been rolling around a 10 or 11. As for bunkers, they are pretty much all unplayable. I WILL be back and I will definitely be able to score a lot better after having played it once before. This course may not be surrounded by mansions and have a high end country club feel, BUT I’m not sure there’s a better value out there right now in the DFW area...
Fun and challenging course, but lacks amenities
The course is full of changes in elevation and scenic views. Very fun to play and great value for fees. Greens and all but a few fairways are in good condition. Cons: no GOS on carts, course map on score card is hard to follow, not all tee boxes have are marked.
Great Course
One of the best courses in the area. The layout will challenge you. There are some straight forward holes and then some that will challenge your shot making abilities. Course was in great shape. Some parts of the cart paths need some attention and not much of a 19th hole but other than that it’s a great value.
Fun Course
Great lay out that will make you use almost every club in your bag. Course is in great shape. Can’t beat this course for the money. Much better than the local country club for sure
This course has fairways that are blind. with hills that obstruct the view making it impossible to know how a particular hole is laid out. Also there are 100+ feet elevation differences to the immediate edge of some fairways .I will not return there.
Terrible slow pace
Front of us were terrible slow pace group which are 5 sum 3 group tournament.
Course staff accepted their reservation.
It was quit disappointed.
