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
great course
Staff is great. Course in good shape. The( people) playing not replacing divots and marks on green hurt the course.
Walked course hardest I have walked . elevation change of 65 ft -85 ft each hole. You have to know course or you will be loosing lots of balls fairways tight green fun to putt in you can read. Best place around for money
Hill Country Golf in the D?
Overall: Challenging hill country-ish course only 20 minutes south of downtown Dallas - green fees w cart are best value in Dallas area
Fast play: Played a morning weekday twosome and, by noon, I think we were the only ones left on the course. Finished in less than 3.5hrs
Course: Tees, fairways and greens in great shape thanks to the extra rain we have received this year. The rough is manicured well, but there is not much of it before the OB - Several elevated tees offer 30 mile views.
Challenges: Holes 10, 8, 2 are the toughest - Several blind tee shots....water comes into play on a couple of holes - helps to know this course due to the grass bunkers and washout areas that can take a fairway drive and run it OB quickly (can't see them on the GPS)
Other: Golfer etiquette is lacking a bit as you will find more fairway divots, ball marks and loose trash than normal. Clubhouse not for lingering and food and beer selection minimal, but the course and pace of play MORE than makes up for any negatives.
Great value for a hill country track so close to home. Would be at least 2X more if it were any closer.
Frustratingly difficult
This course is not for anybody that has any type of hook or slice, and even a fade or a draw can mean a lost ball. This course was built on the remains of an old brick yard and quarry and let me tell you a ride up and down these cart paths is as exciting as any roller coaster at Six Flags. If you like a Challenging course and you don't get nauseous easily then this might be the course for you, but for an average to beginner this course is pure evil.
Not fun - too many blind shots and not worth the drive.
Waste of time and money - rude staff - course conditions weren't good and its slow
GREEN'S ARE IN GOOD SHAPE!
NICE COURSE - FAIRWAYS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND GREEN ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. LAYOUT IS FUN - SEVERAL HOLES THAT HAVE SIGNIFICANT ELEVATION CHANGES.
Better be ready to drive to get there and drive better once you are there...
This course is challenging with many tight tee shots and number 10 is worth taking a friend just to watch them come apart. The greens are the best I have ever seen them at Brickyard and you can play very aggressive at the hole. For the money, despite the drive, it is a great spot.
It wae tough but interesting.
It was far from Dallas but valuable to drive more than 30 min.
because the course was very exciting unlikely in Dallas area.
I'll visit this course again with my friend in the near future.
Lots of room for error
Lots of places to lose balls! But a very interesting layout and some challenging and memorable tee shot and approaches. Greens were in great shape and sneaky fast. The course is showing some need for upkeep as evidenced by their sign on the highway; although repairs are mainly cosmetic. Holes 5 & 16 are strange to get to (5 is marked & 16 should be). Price was right, and pace of play was phenomenal.
VALUE............
Ive been out here about six times.... Played for 11 bucks. Good greens, good fairways. Very unique layout. Challenging par threes, ten is one of the hardest par fives you will ever see. This is a tremendous value. Some of the cart paths are like roller coasters.....
The drive south!
In the past, this course has always been a great value even considering the drive. But the last two visits have been brutally slow... Don't know if we will go back.
Best bang for your buck in the metro-plex
New ownership has really turned this place around. While I was the 19th hole drinking a beer and having a one of the better barbecue sandwiches I've had in recent memory I overheard a couple of people saying the course had a change in ownership over winter and the GM that has been there for several years was now the owner as well.
Greens were soft and smooth. Fairways were green and just starting to fill in nicely. I bet they will be great in a couple of weeks with the weather getting warmer everyday. They have re-open the restaurant on the weekends and had just finished remodeling the bathrooms on the course and in the clubhouse. Best value around in my opinion. This course is definitely on the up swing and I will be back. I have to get revenge on #10. That hole is a killer and one of the best par 5's I have played....
Very Enjoyable course to Play
Would really like to see better directions on the course for each hole. One needs a guide if you haven't played this course before. Love the rolling terrain, makes for challenging golf. I recommend playing the blue tees.
hard for beginners to follow course
holes not marked clearly hole directions spray painted on cart path LOTS of poison ivy very hilly terrain greens were in great shape cost a little high for course
great course for the money
I enjoyed my round staff was friendly and course in good shape.
nicely maintained
nice course challenging and well maintained fast pace course
Fairways dormant
Fairways dormant ball will roll, greens need alot of attention ( looks like a hail storm came thru ) fairway divits not being tended too. Grass growing out of them. Play was slow but to be expected on a sunday. Bunkers unplayable with water in most.
Very dissappointed from the last few times played.
Upon arriving, there was no carts available. There were a couple of 6 man groups on the course and they wanted to go around again. The course itself was soggy in some spots and, the greens needed over seeding. Since they have a few blind spots on the front nine, there should be some way to alert other golfers that the way is not clear. Our group was hit into three different times due to slow play ahead.
