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
Needs some love
Greens took a hit this winter. Even with the rain and good growing temps they are still not back to where they used to be. Caught a Hot Deal on GolfNow for under $30 so I wasn’t too upset.
Untapped potential.
A good course but poorly maintained. Bunkers were mud and dirt, barely any sand. Ant hills all over the course and crab grass throughout. Rental clubs were outdated by 30-40 years and didn’t have a putting/chipping green. Not worth the money with the options available elsewhere
Old Brickyard
The course is not in great condition. Lots of erosion and needs better care on greens. Too many blind shots on holes that just don’t make sense. Number 9 is ridiculous. They need GPS badly. A couple of guys had to ask where hole number 2 was.?! Staff not friendly at clubhouse. I had to ask who my playing partners were and then go find them. No starter or marshal so pace of play was terrible and we teed off at least 30 minutes behind schedule. Not enough carts to go around. Didn’t see cartgirl until 9th hole and not enough water coolers and no cups. Course needs a major upgrade for me to come back. It’s a shame because it could be one of the best around.
Terrible condition
This course has never been in excellent condition but it's almost unplayable now. Almost all the greens are unputtable, very few good lies on the tee boxes and the fairways may be mud, may be weeds, may be dirt, maybe grass. You never know. Very unfortunate for a fun layout to be this bad
Great layout
This course is hit and miss……..Don’t play here if you want putts to roll straight or true it’s in bad shape right no. On a side note they let groups of 6 go off at a time and the pricks will not let you play thur
Nice course
Rains the day before made it harder to play. Layout is challenging. Fun course to play. Love the blind drives. Used almost all my clubs.
Old Brickyard
A buddy brought me here a few yrs ago. We play here maybe 15 times a year. Love the course and love the layout. Some holes will suprise you. I will always play Brickyard. And learning kids play free.
This course is not worth the money
I was having high expectations for the amount you have to pay for this course but it’s in tough shape. Greens have weeds all on them huge dirt droughts everywhere tee boxes looked awful and i’ve played courses in texas for cheaper and nicer around the area. Would not recommend
Old Brickyard Course
I moved to Dallas and this was the first course I tried. The views of the course were amazing and the course layout was really cool, however it smelled horrible. The pace of play was the worse I have ever Experienced and some of the people who were there were rude. The range was closed for no reason and the workers were friendly but also extremely lazy. I will probably not play here again and I don’t recommend it to anyone. Overall I was disappointed and for the pace of play that was going on I was extremely annoyed and the manager there did nothing about it. It took almost 6 hours to complete 18 holes.
