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
Neat Course!
First time played - 30 minute drive to get there.. I really like the layout - LOTS of elevation - great par 3 's
The 10th hole par 5 should be a par 6.. that is a beast from the gold or blue tees wrapping along the lake..
The greens were muddy and had some very rough patches which made putting extremely difficult
Yes, as with previous reviews, the cart path is quite worn in some locations and sometimes wondered if the cart would make some of the steep uphill paths.. IF management would spend some money and improve the conditions this course could be a real jewel...BUT I still loved the course and will try to play again when able..
It's a nice course but conditions sucked it was cart path only and the course was soaking wet so the ball was in water on every shot. Hopefully next the course is on better shape.
Cool Layout
Course was a lot of fun and has cool layout. However, the course needs some work and was in fair to average condition. Would have given it much higher ratings if the course was in better shape.
Could be better
The course has nice elevation changes and gives it a different feel than other courses around the metroplex. It plays short and fairly easy. The bad thing is the course management is horrible. The do not take care of the course. you can drive carts right up next to the green as i saw some people doing. the greens are patchy. I played this course several times about 15 years ago and it was in great shape. I dont know if its the same owners but its like they care about improving the course. the cart path is missing in some areas and you end up driving on gravel. you have to watch out for bumps and drop offs. If they put some money and more care into the course it could be good again,
Massive elevation changes
Unlike almost all other dallas area courses. Greens are solid and everything else is as expected at its price point. Not long but left or right are usually dead. Need to bring your game
Interesting layout; upkeep needs to be improved
Played the Old Brickyard over the Thanksgiving holiday. An interesting concept of creating a course within an old brick making facility. Challenging but not overly so. Few amenities, but that's no big deal; it's about the golf
However, poor fairways, weeds everywhere; greens were OK. Seems like a course in need of re-investment.
Wow!!!
Great course!! Hard course to play. Quite a challenge. So beautiful. Been in Dallas for a year playing different courses and it has been fun, but I must say I might hav found my every weekend place to play. Highly recommend!!!!
Wat
The two guys that I play every week and beat with authority both played the best rounds of their lives. One finished 86 The other 85. It is a tough course but I think you will love it. Just as they did and just as I do. I gotta play again. These are 94 to 100 players. Fantastic course .
Great value!
You cannot beat the price for what you get at this course! It offers a challenge for the experienced player and is forgiving enough If you’re just starting out. The conditions of the course are excellent it is mainted well. Always a fun course to play with a group of friends. My favorite part are the par 3s!
Fun but frustrating
FUN: I have played the brickyard many times and they seem to be working hard to improve it. Greens were in fantastic shape, held good shots and rolled true. Course was extremely damp due to overwatering which made some approach shots soggy. Bunkers werent worth plaing out of. Hopefully they will be worked on in the near future. Overall, the course was challenging as always with excellent greens.
FRUSTRATING: We had to tee off 30 min after our scheduled tee time due to a six man group teeing off - please dont do this on a weekend. I am all for a round with your buddies and friendly wagers but six guys on one hole is a bit much. The gentleman running the pro shop could use a refresher in customer service.
Delightful layout
This course has it all. Interesting layout, lots of topography, challenging greens. It's a lot if fun!
