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
Great topography, course layout is outstanding, staff are very friendly!!!
Looking Good
Course is looking good, greens are soft, fairways in decent shape.
Good not great
Some bare spots, greens inconsistent. A little work and it be a great course
Great course to play
The course is in great shape and a little challenging because several Tee Boxes were elevated and very windy out but overall I will come back and play again.
Fun course with some awesome views
My buddy and I were in town and needed to play somewhere while we had some free time. Saw this place and decided to check it out and we were not disappointed. The course isn’t too long unless you really want to stretch it and layout was nice with a bunch of cool holes. I really think it is a great place to go play if you were in the area.
Clueless staff
Checked in for 730 tee time and asked to get a bucket of range balls. The gentleman sold me the balls but then told me he wasn’t sure if the range was open. Then he said he didn’t know if today would be cart path only or not and told play a few holes then call the clubhouse to find out. Tee boxes were full out ant mounds and there’s a huge wasps nest along the cart path between hole 15 and 16. No beverage cart and overall the course is barely maintained. Other than that experience was average at best. Won’t drive 45 minutes out of my way to play here again.
Good times
Good value, good condition, great weather
Tee’d off early and finished in 3 hours
That’s what golf on Saturday is supposed to be
Will be back
Beautiful views, a good solid challenge for someone who hasn't played in awhile. Fairways were in great shape, Greens were solid, and enough hazards to play with.
Great Shape
Played The Old Brickyard last weekend and it was in great shape. They closed 9 holes during the early summer to re-do the greens on 9 holes and they did a excellent job. I have played a lot of different courses this summer looking for better condition courses that I can afford during this drought and this one is now at the top of the list. Well Done!!
Brick Yard
The course is in great shape. Green greens and green fairways. I think it’s a challenging course..
