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 layout
Great layout that offers blind tee shots,challenging par 3s,and shots over water. The greens are scheduled to be repaired soon.Overall the course offers a challenge for the average golfer.
Diamond in the rough
Beautiful topography, one of the best in North Texas. Fairways,, tees and greens need some major living thought. anybody want to put together an investment group to buy it and redo the whole thing? It would be fabulous…
Much improved
Been a while since I’ve played here. You can see the improvements going on. I’ve always liked the layout and the fairways are 100% better. Greens do need some work but still rolled well. I will be back soon.
Unplayable Green
The course has a very nice layout and the staff is very friendly. However, I cannot recommend the course at this time. The fairways are in pretty good shape but all 18 greens are in bad condition. A couple of the greens are okay. But overall they are not. I enjoy playing this course but it will be a while before I play it again.
Great times
Love playing this course. Staff is awesome and the staff is also great and energetic. Can't wait to come back and play.
Amazing layout, with beautiful views, but the conditions need work
The course is one of the coolest layouts and has some of the prettiest views of any course I’ve played within an hour of McKinney. Challenging tee shots, hilly fairways and sloped greens made for a fun round. The only flaws to me would be the condition of the course on some holes and all of the greens. Packed mud and lots of weeds on the greens made them very bumpy and to a lack of roll. Standing water on some holes in the fairway around the greens was an annoyance, as well. All-in-all a great day of golf and I’ll be back for sure, as long as I get another hot deal, or they fix the greens and then I can see paying full price
Played here over 50 times
I usually love this course, but this time was the worst. Most of the greens had little no grass. The course was drenched in water, but not from rain. 2 of the fairways as I was standing on soggy ground, all of a sudden the sprinklers came on and they ran for a good 30 mins and this was at 1030 on a Sunday. I may never go back
Horrible greens!!
Horrible greens! Pretty much dead! Roped off areas on the greens! My son has regionals coming up in two weeks, I would be ashamed to have all those kids come there and play if I was management. Course layout challenging, but fair!
Brick yard review
Played today with three other. We got a hot deal and we all thought it was well worth the money to play here. The fair ways and tee boxes were in really good condition for the most part. The greens were fast but hold a chip pretty well. Some greens had areas roped off but the green conditions should only improve as the weather warms up. We will be returning soon for another hot deal round!
Greens are rough
Greens are a little rough and dry but it's a great course for the money.
Great course!
I'm an average player who plays roughly once to twice a month and I had my best game I've ever played. I'm the staff is super friendly and the course is great. My group had a 10/10 experience here.
Ok
Course and greens were decent. However it still needs lots of work on greens, cart path and sides of fairway
