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.

Very, Very Challenging Hole Photo submitted by fryersroost on 05/08/2013
Wasted Potential
This course has solid elevation change for Texas, but the hey do little to nothing to trim back the insane amount of over growth all over the course. You can play Stevens park for this same price and it’s night and day what the conditions are. The staff can be standoffish and I’ve seen flies sitting in the coffee pot. No one cares to better this course apparently.
Great Shape for August
Played the old brickyard Saturday morning with some friends. Course was in really good shape considering the heat and compared to the other courses I have played recently. Greens were some of the better ones I have played this year on the public side. I paid $55 for a 7:45 tee time on the weekend, in my opinion is a great deal. I usually have to pay $75 to $100 for that time if I go north of Downtown Dallas. Saw the cart girl 2 times and the service was good (beer was only $4 and was cold). Will definitely be back. I want to play #10 again, it's one of the best par 5 around with having to hit 3 shots over water on the same hole to get to the green.
Not my favorite
Very weird layout of a course. It sits in the valley of a landfill. Just doesn’t look like it was a piece of land designed to be a golf course. Guess they call it brickyard for a reason, there is bricks everywhere even in the fairways.
Keep up the good work
Course has come a long ways since just last year. Amazing course fun and fairways are actually really nice. Greens were just punched...but overall 4 out of 5
The worst experience you could have at a course
I live in downtown Dallas and made the drive to Ferris Texas to the old brickyard, which is about 35 minutes from downtown. I made a tee time the day before at 12pm. As I arrive, I go into the clubhouse to check in. The gentleman told me we do not have any carts, so you will have to wait until someone gets done. I ask him, Do we know how long that can be? He said I have no clue, so I proceeded to just cancel the reservation, but they told me I was not able to do that, so I never received a refund. I was not going to sit there and wait until someone gets done. Also, they told me I would have to wait for another golfer as a random person would ride with me because they do not allow single golfing because of how busy it is. I understand they are busy, but as a golf course, you should know when you are overbooked and you know longer have any carts at least block reservations or send an email or phone call to let the people who booked so we don’t waste our time driving there. The hospitality and the way I was treated was unacceptable. I highly recommend staying far away from this course. Overall it was a complete nights & as for the course condition it’s a a landfill.
Never going back! Don't waste your Money.
Country view is right down the street and Waxahachie is not far. This course has a black fella working there that is rude and has 0 concept that he's not gonna tell players who they are playing with until he starts paying for the round especially when we are paying $70 no sir. We don't come to the course to be treated like you treat your children we come to play with family and our friends not some strangers because you think your in control. He had a big issue with us bringing a 3rd guy to play and literally turned his money and business down and did not let him play then we pull up to the 1st tee box and there is 6 guys teeing off and playing together. The round took 5 hours. Never going back don't waste your money on the poor customer service either. No grill no burgers no good food at all.
Really cool place.
This is a very nice but tough course. Lots of hills and tight fairways. The staff was extremely friendly including the Marshall who stopped to talk with us. Cold water in the coolers but no cart girls. Fairways and greens are in very good condition.
Good day of golf
The course was overall in good shape. The pace of play was fine. The tee complexes, fairways and greens were all in good shape. The only complaint I had was the gentleman in the clubhouse checking us. Not friendly or welcoming. Really didn’t seem like he wanted to be there.
Course in good shape
With all the heat and lack of rain lately the course was in surprisingly good condition… fairway grass, greens and tee boxes in good shape.
Great Course
My only complaint is the golf carts. Love playing Brickyard and I actually play there a lot. Challenging course and it has come a long way. Greens are really coming together and fairways are looking great.
The staff is always really nice and accommodating
Hole in One!
My buddy hit his first hole in one on the #6 hole par 3.
Congrats Brent E.! 👏🏼
It rained
Rained on us after 2 holes but we managed to get a raincheck thanks to this stand up establishment and its commitment to customer satisfaction.
Interesting layout.
Fun course. But, can be confusing and somewhat hazardous. Cartpaths are sometimes on a steep slope with sharp turns, and some paths run directly in front of players teeing off on another hole. Bathrooms on the course weren't the cleanest I've seen, but not horrible. Pace of play was good except for a foursome that wasn't too sharp on etiquette. I may add this course to my monthly rotation.
