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.

Course Highlights
Built from an old brickyard quarry, this course delivers a uniquely challenging layout with dramatic elevation changes found nowhere else in the DFW area. Greens and fairways consistently hold up well throughout the seasons, and the welcoming staff make every visit feel personal.

Under staffed, horrible greens

The course was way too booked up, causing pace of play to be very stressful. We also had to wait 15+ minutes for our cart after the assigned tee time. More staff would help. Never saw a beverage cart the entire time. The greens were not well kept at all.

Please Save Your Money

Got a great deal in terms of price and thought I’d check it out. I’m not a golf snob in the slightest, but this was the worst course I’ve ever seen. Terrible conditions where if you hit it straight down the fairway there’s a >90% chance you won’t find your ball. This was the first time ever that I’ve had to stop playing before ending a round solely due to course conditions. Please, please save your money and do not fall for the this course unless your only goal is to get out of the house and drink.

A hidden gem...

A challenging course with tight fairways and fastest greens I've played.

Course layout is a challenge for first timers

Great layout, affected by weather.

Love this course and for the price you can’t beat it. It did take some beating from the Texas winter with all the grass being thin. They just did a lot of renovations this past year and they did a good job so can’t knock them for it too hard. Greens are also under attack by some weeds. Hopefully come end of April/May they will have it in good shape. That staff is super nice and super helpful and know that the course isn’t in the best shape, but they are doing the best they can.

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.
