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
Love the brick
Old brickyard is one of my favorite courses in Dfw. Well worth the money.
Old brickyard
Great course for the money!! I love playing here friendly staff and challenging course a nice mix of hazards. Also has those holes that make me feel like a good golfer.
Great Value
Best public greens I've played on. Lots of places to put up some bad scores, but if you can tame this course, you can handle just about anything. Great challenge for the price.
Ok, but slow front 9.
Were behind a tournament that caused the front 9 to play over 3 hours. The back was wide open and after getting thru 2 5somes infront of us, we played the back in 1:45. Front 9 is tough with tight fairways. Overall, the course is a blast. Lot's of elevation changes and lots of wind (I don't know why, but it's always windy out there) makes for some difficult club choices. Make 9 puts water in play, but is a little more open. Greens were firmer than I thought after all of the rain we've gotten. Fairways were in good shape. A few cart paths must have gotten washed out due to floods. If you get a good deal here, definitely recommend making the trip to Ferris.
Great day
Had great day at Old Brickyard. First time to play there and my first full 18 of the year. For all the rain of the last few weeks the course was in excellent condition. Only one major issue where a hill washed down into a fairway. Greens were in great shape and had a lot of movement. Again it was a great day.
Don't take kids with u
coarse is nice but the guy on the mower came over to me an was very rude I had my 6 year old son with me!! The guy was yelling an at one point I though he was gonna take a punch at me!! Needless to say my son doesn't want to golf anymore!! thanks a lot dude
interesting
some really cool routing of holes. nice elevation changes requiring placing the ball in the proper spots. Greens were in great shape and rolled very smoothly.
great value
This course is fun to play and the fairway and greens are in great shape. I think spending some time on the rough and other outside areas would help this course jump to the next level, but it's fun to play regardless.
Old brickyard
Great course.... Windy that day and very tough in wind
Needs some love
Very unique course built on a landfill. The property has potential but the lack of money , water , and attention has much of this course in poor shape. Carts are in bad shape probably because they are used to traverse a mine field of poor cart paths. Many of which no longer exist and and are painted on to direct traffic. The clubhouse is in good shape and offers a view to the west. I live on the south side of Dallas and long for better golf courses. Someone please fix this.
Don't go on a Tuesday
There was a senior scramble going on all day it seemed like. Pace of play was extremely slow. The course itself is interesting. Some elevated tee boxes and blind shots and water carries make it fun. Greens are smooth and fast. Bunkers are horrible. They might as well be taken out if you have grass growing in them.
practice round only, not for enjoyment
Got the round on golf now for $18 so I thought I'd give it a try. The overall course conditions and upkeep were horrible. Instead of having signs they just spray painted the cart path. Fairways on front 9 were flooded so I often had to take my tee shot and move it to a hill. Course layout was very poorly designed. Had to skip half a whole as the greens were being attended to and the greenskeeper saw me but kept working. Greens were ok thou. I wasnt too upset since the round was merely for practice but it was hard to play. Would never play it for enjoyment. Pace was fine as no one was on the course, which makes sense
Good deal for the money
While some of the traps are pretty much unplayable, filled with grass and deep holes, the greens are in good shape and play pretty even. The fairways are a little tight in places, but it is winter, so that's to be somewhat expected. The layout is good and offers opportunities for many kinds of shotmaking. The actual layout of the holes and how to get from one to the next isn't straightforward, so Imdid have to wander around a few times trying to find the right tee box. The distances aren't marked real well, and my GPS app didn't really work. Ferris may not be the best 4g wifi spot around. Overall though for $21 it's not bad at all. There was no crowd whatsoever at the course, hard to believe for a Friday afternoon.
Good Value
A unique layout that is fun to play. The value is there if you can tolerate a few inconviences. Our tee time was delayed 40 minutes as we waited for a Seniors tournament to finish. No excuse for water jugs to be empty, (or taste like old plastic). I admit kicking my ball out of a couple unplayable, (weeds, mud) traps. Still, an enjoyable outing. The course just needs some $$ TLC.
Beautiful blind shots
Even though it's a long drive it's well worth it.. Challenging blind shots and nice greens.. A MUST PLAY!!!
Great challenging course.
It is a good course to play at. I would most definitely invite my clients from the DFW area to a round at the Brickyard for a little friendly competition.
Better options in the area
We played on the day after Christmas, which also happened to be a Friday this year, and I was very shocked to see they allowed 6-somes. The course was pretty packed and they did not do a good job of spacing out the tee times. Also, it didn't help our pace of play that we were playing behind two 6-somes. The course itself is pretty fun to play. Not very difficult from the tips, but still a fun layout with some challenging holes. If you are a beginner or do not mind playing behind possible beginners, then, this course is a good choice. Overally, I would rather play Golf Club of Dallas or even Country View.
Great Round! Great Conditions!
I like this layout. If you looking for a good challenge , thi. Is the spot. Well worth the drive.
They have a senior scramble every Tuesday starting at 9:00. Its a lot of fun you should consider playing sometime. Once a month they have a fish fry after play as well for free. They are stating a bunker renovation process starting April 1st; was suppose to start in Feb. but with all the rain and snow its been to wet to start. The plan it to fix many of the best one's and convert several into grass bunkers as well. Should be pretty nice by the end of the month.....
