Old Brickyard Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Very, Very Challenging Hole Photo submitted by fryersroost on 05/08/2013
Played at Old Brickyard because it was close to where I was staying and had a good priced HotDeal. The gentleman working the Pro Shop was very nice and helpful. The course, however, wasn't as great. The greens and fairways were okay, but the rough, paths, surrounding areas, and practice green need work. Add in that the highway runs alongside the front nine (noisy) and a dump site along the back nine (smelly). A few creative holes (9, 10, 11) and some fairly straightforward ones, but all-in-all I wish I would have chosen a different course.
Old brickyard
Really cool course with some picturesque holes. Can't believe I haven't played here before now.
Old Brickyard
It's about 30-40 miles from where we live, but it was on GolfNow at a very reasonable price, so we decided to play it. it had rained quite heavily the night before, so some parts of the fairways were wet, and the greens were still wet underneath, so it made putting slower than usual.
All in all, it was good to get out. This course is very hilly and some fairways are quite narrow, (so you have to be straight or you may lose balls). It's more challenging than many other course I've played- especially when it's a bit wet.
Depends on When You Play
I recently played at Old Brickyard Golf Course and had a mixed experience. While the course itself was in decent shape, with fairways and greens that were well-maintained, the pace of play left much to be desired. There were too many high handicap players on the course who struggled to keep a moderate pace, which ultimately made the experience frustrating.
I have nothing against high handicap golfers, but when the pace drags, it can ruin the enjoyment for everyone else. Unfortunately, I had to leave after just nine holes, even though I had paid for 18, simply because the slow play was unbearable. It would have been helpful if marshals were present to monitor and encourage a quicker pace.
I really appreciate the unique design of this course and the challenges it presents, but I felt a bit ripped off this time around. With better management of the pace of play, I believe Old Brickyard could be a truly enjoyable experience.
Long time customer
Not sure what happen to this course. Ive been playing here for many years and 5-10 years ago this was one of the best courses around. Now its over priced and dead spots everywhere. This course had the nicest spongy greens, now they are alot of crows feet and dead spots. Fairways are in ok shape. For the price this aint it dont waste your time.
The course over priced
Great layout but not kept up. It was not worth 70 dollars at all.
Dump
This course was the only course with a tee time before 8:00am on a weekend and I can see why. The layout is very confusing and the course punishes you off the tee if you’re not straight. If you are in Dallas and want to play somewhere new, this isn’t the place.
Brickyard
As always, I enjoyed my round of golf. We went off early and played by ourselves. For me it’s a challenging course. All the hills make it fun. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a cha.
Such a Fun Unique Course
I golf 2 times weekly and rarely ever leave reviews. Just played Old Brick for the first time in about 2 years and it’s in great shape. Greens are excellent other than 1.
The course has a lot of elevation and some unique holes. It will definitely test your skills with alot of blind shots and water that comes into play.
Hole 10 should be a par 6 lol.
Play it and enjoy. Thank me later
