Old Brickyard Golf Course

The Old Brickyard has the potential to be one the top courses in the area, BUT it needs lots of work. The fairways, tee boxes and sand traps all need a lot of attention. The greens, for the most part, were in fair to good condition. The cart paths are so torn up that in places they resemble four wheel drive roads in Colorado. The layout of this course is unique. The vistas are beautiful. It is a very, very short course even from the tips. I returned to play it after not playing it for several years - I was surprised to see how much it had deteriorated. The only way I would consider playing the Old Brickyard again is if GolfNow has another really low price deal.

Wasn't sure what to expect from courses in the area being from out of state, so take that into consideration when reading this. The course design looked like some holes were forced into areas too small giving the appearance of being kind of gimmicky. If you are a longer hitter, the landing areas for some of the holes are really narrow. Tee box condition was 50/50. Some were okay, but others were pretty chewed up. The fairways were in ok condition, but get off of them by much and the ground was in pretty bad shape...rock hard and little grass. There is very little to indicate yardage other than the normal 200, 150, and 100 markers. You do get a book giving a description of the course, but it is a little hard to figure out exactly where the points are to base yardage off of. The greens held pretty well and were not very fast. Sand traps tended to be pretty muddy towards the middle.

We played this course on a late Saturday morning. Finished the front 9 in 165 minutes, but the back nine went much quicker (maybe it was the call into the proshop to send a marshall out). Of course, my expectations were low playing behind guys in jeans. Weeds in the fairways, ant hills all over every hole, and a couple of ridiculous pin placements caused me to say the course condition needed attention. The staff was friendly and when the cart girls finally came around they were nice to look at. The round is not worth a dollar over the $33 we paid to play this course. And hole #10 might make you consider retiring from golf.

Unusual topography makes for fun challenge. Some really great holes that offer high quality shots.
Issues include no working ball washers.
Greens were fine. Fairways mown tight.
Very exposed to wind, so be ready on windy days.
Had a good time playing here.

I've played this course three times and will continue to play here. It's a fun course for a good price

Drove 45 miles to play this course. Too good of a GolfNow deal. Course was shorter than most but very challenging. There were blind shots, lots of elevation changes and plenty of shots over water. Gas powered carts because electric ones would not make it on this course. The guy in the club house was really nice and glad to have us there. Give it a try. It was fun.

Fairways in rough shape, greens fair. For the price though, would still recommend

This course is improving every week I play there.this course is such good shape the word is getting out it is getting to be difficult getting tee times without a weeks notice. Greens have been fertilized, fairways are in great shape and difficult but very playable for a mid par player. Texas Sized Hats Off to Randy and the staff.

Challenging course with lots of hills. Layout of holes is a nice break out and provides a fun experience...greens are some of best I've putted on this year...true rolling.

Will def be playing here again soon...especially at the price I paid.

Typically the greens are great and in the morning your ball will stick. The course is challenging and with a few blind shots on the front, you can have some very challenging shots.
The boxes and fairways are usually in good condition. I wouldn't rate them as great but definitely not bad.
The comfort of the clubhouse typically depends on who's there. It seems like some of the folks are hospitable and others aren't.
Overall this is is a good club but not a great club. I've always enjoyed playing this coarse, I just wouldn't say the amenities are great.

Very friendly staff and nice course. I would play play here again.

Too many blind shots, can not see where the fairway is or the green on many holes and most of yardage markers are missing or non exixitent, other than that course is not difficult. As far as staff club pro is very friendly but man who worked afternoon was unfiriendly and had an attitude becasue I made him get up and walk into reswtauarant area to let me know it was closed at noon, no reason tho have a restaurant and it not be open, I think it was closed becasue he was too lazy to prepare anything for you to eat becasue club pro Randy fixed food when he was there. 09/03/2013

The course has a very lot of unique hole designs and elevation.
Number ten has water the complete way around the par five . Fun course to play. It would be nice if they had a few more yardage markers to help orient you to shot length needed and hazards to avoid.

Love the the layout, great value for the the course.

First time to play. The course is not very long from the back tees, but some difficult holes if you have never played there before. There are some blind shots and you need to know where to place the shot. Rollings hills. Interesting course. Greens were super nice. Fairways were pretty good. Sand traps were horrendous, actually I would not even call them sand traps. Great value, so I would play there again.

Clubhouse average. Range poor quality especially given completely muddy practice balls. Golf cart backfired constantly and was very temperamental. Course nice though. Many very challenging holes especially 9 & 10. No cartgirl. Overall average rating. Probably won't return.

This course was much different than anything I have been on in Texas .With the rolling hills and blind shots it was pretty tricky .Its a fun country course with a tough section through the middle of the round. I think I will enjoy it more the second time around. Greens were recently aerated and slow so it was difficult to get the speed down.

Not your average DFW golf course. Get a nice change for a fair price. Played early morning and a lot of other golfers playing the white tees, only 4600 yards, so be expected to move quick.

The greens at Old Brick Yard are outstanding. The most plush greens I have played on this year, and I have played several courses around the metroplex. With all the rain, you would expect the fairways and tee boxes to be in good condition, and they were. But the greens were outstanding.

While #1 is a nice gentle welcoming handshake, #2 is an attention getter. #1 handicap hole very early in the round - even tougher if the wind is from the north. Watch out for the pond on the right.
The most interesting holes start at #5 - a long par 5 with a deep gulch in front of the green.
The holes around the old quarry are all interesting - #8 over the water, #9 through the narrow shoot - takes some precise shot-making. Stay out of the rough on the left.

#10 is just a great par 5 - water in play on the drive, over the water on the 2nd shot, long 3rd into the green over water - good luck on this hole. One of the best par 5's in Texas.

#11 is a fun hole - dogleg left with the water in play on the drive.
I enjoyed my day here - lot's of variety with holes playing in many directions. Par 3's all take a different club.
