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
If you like Hills
the course is fun to play if you have played it before but can be tough for the beginner.
Very Unique
Great layout. A few bllind tee shots makes it very interesting if it is your first time! (Aim down the middle)! I Play this course a lot and it never gets old. Lots of elevation makes this course a fun challenge!
Aerated and Sanded
GolfNow is usually very good about warning you when the greens are aerated and sanded. This course was not flagged.
The front 9 was HEAVILY sanded and aerated, making the holes a joke. Very disappointed, frustrated and angry! The ball collected wet sand on it as it rolled, and it eventually falls to one side so much sand builds up on it.
This was a total waste of time and money, it's not golf. I needed a sand shovel, not a putter on the greens. Having said that - only the front 9 was like that - the back 9 was normal and played just fine. I liked the lay-out, but buyer beware - call the course first. I am not from the Dallas area, so I had no idea that courses aerated this time of year. Apparently some in Dallas/FTW area does. This was not an enjoyable round of golf, except to say the guys I played with were great!
challenging course beware the sand.
Very fun and challenging course. Front nine greens ste burnt to a crisp and the amount of sand on them felt like I was chipping and putting into and in a bunker. Back nine was flawless overall the whole course is a great change of pace from other courses in Dallas
Golf at the Old Brickyard
Easy check in....young lady in the Golf Shop was very courteous and friendly. Course was in good shape. Pace of play was good...players in groups ahead and behind were quick to play...no hold ups. Great value!!
Fun coarse to play.
Course is fun to play. Some greens need work. Fairways could be better.
Greens are much improved
I love this course with lots of elevation changes. I played a month ago and the greens are much better now. Unfortunately I got caught behind a tournament for about 9 holes but still managed a 4 hour round. A must play for the value when traveling south of Dallas on I45.
This is a good course for the money
This is a really nice course. The staff is great and very friendly and the hole atmosphere is great. It's close to home and it's just a great place.
course
great place going back again this week.tight fairways.tuff carries over water.ball placement is a must
Nice Course
Great course. The greens were a little rough but overall it was fun and challenging.
Decent course
I enjoy playing this course. A little disappointed with the overall upkeep of the fairways and cart paths but it's not that bad for the price. Some great views from several of the tee boxes and an extremely challenging hole 10. I would recommend this course.
worth playing
The fairways were in great shape. The greens were not in as good a shape, however they still putted consistently. Overall a very fun course with some very challenging holes
"Don't let the smooth taste fool you",
If want to test your game, Old Brickyard is a great place to play. No two holes are alike. You have a little of everything you want in a golfing challenge and for some guys, a lot of things that they don't want. We played form the tips which still was only 6300 yds., but as the saying goes, "Don't let the smooth taste fool you", well if you are an advanced golfer such as myself, then don't let the 6300 yds. fool you into thinking that you can manhandle this course, because if you want a challenge, play the tips and you'll see exactly what I mean!!! Even for golfers who are not so advanced you will have a challenge from the white or blue tees as well.
Great course!
This course kicks my butt! Bring lots of balls! Fun course!!!
Fun and challenging layout
Fun but challenging golf course. First time playing the Brickyard shot a 76 from the tips. Lots of hills and a few blind shots. I don't recommend walking it. The course was in decent shape. The greens and fairways had there bad spots. The staff was not very friendly but the course made up for it.
Old Brickyard
The course has very cool elevation changes and is easy to navigate. The green's are in pretty good shape and are a consistent speed. You have to hit your tee shots straight on some holes to avoid trouble but overall is a good challenge with several chances to make birdies.
A Pleasant Surprise!
I had driven by the course several times but never stopped in to play. Boy I have been missing out on a very good course. The terrain makes it extra challenging but as on most courses if you keep it in the fairway you'll have a good day! The bunkers are in terrible shape but if they were fixed most people couldn't afford to play here because they could charge a lot more!
Talk about elevation change
This course would have gotten a 4 if the greens would have been in better shape. The elevation changes were rediculous. Very neat course, and if you take one thing away from most of the reviews ... take extra balls. I lost a half dozen. The other three guys lost more than that. It is definitely target golf. Even some of the longer holes you can lose a golf ball when hit dead center of the fairway. I had a yardage book, but did not really read all of the description for the holes, but I would assume that it had hole strategy in it which I should have checked for. My advice would be to take an iron off of most tee boxes.
Never again
The greens were bumpy and some we're dead. The cart paths are in need of repair and the general course condition was not good. I have played twice before and was in much better condition.
Stay in the Fairway...
This was my first time playing this course, recommended by a co- worker. It was a little challenging at first. After the third hole it all started to come together. I had a great time.
