WinStar Golf Course - Scissortail

Considering the hot and dry conditions the course was in very good shape.

Overall, Course was not in very good shape, which is surprising since I have played it many times before.. I would not return until they have fixed the issues.

The course needs a lot of work, which they are doing a lot of on the holes on the back 9. All tee box grass was to long and course was way to wet. Probably because they have lost alot if the grass in many spots on the fairways. Still to wet and muddy. Ruff was ruff 😉. If you went in it, good luck finding your ball.

Bought on Golf Now and pro shop said we are getting this cheaper rate because of course condition. Says it was posted on golf now in small writing. We looked back and could now see this at all. Second time to play the course and don’t think we will be back.

Pace of play was decent but slow groups wouldn’t let other play through. The course has some beautiful holes and is pretty fun. Greens were best I’ve played anywhere in a long time (minus the one under repair). Cart girl was out often and there’s coke water bottles on the course a couple of times. They definitely take care of you.

It would have been nice to know that all the green were sanded and fairway resoded

I played Winstar - Scissortail, 2 times last week and Monday the fairways were soaked from watering and made play much more difficult. Balls were sinking in the ground, getting no roll and made chipping almost impossible.

Saturday was a little better with how much had been watered but on the 10th hole, there were workers on the fairway spreading sand and half the fairway had the grass cut out of it and piles of sand in several places. No one told us the 10th hole would be under construction but open… I wasn’t going to hit a ball with several workers in the middle of the fairway, so we just skipped the hole.

To their credit, it looks like they are trying to resolve the issues with large patches in the fairways and greens that are just plain dead making putting an adventure, especially for a hacker like me.

The amenities are nice. Cold bottled water before you take off are provided along with ice. Filled my cooler up on the cart with 5 bottles of water and ice and refilled at the turn. There are air conditioned bathrooms on the course, which is a very nice amenity with more water provided at those.

So much potential here for the largest Casino in the world to do better with course conditions and this would be one of the best courses in the area dollar for dollar.

I played the sissortrail course, Although they’re were some bad spots on the fairway’s the greens were in excellent condition. Overall good value

Course needs improvement. Some greens 80% sand with hardly any grass. Lots of bare mud holes throughout the fairways. Carts prevent you from driving in sections of the course and slow you down through main areas.

Played at 1030 on July 2nd believing that the course was going to be burnt from the lack of rain. Was really surprised to see they have put a tremendous amount of water so that fairways and greens were in very good shape. There were just a few spots I found that were needing attention but overall I was very happy. Staff, facilities and amenities were on par. Word of advice, don't get out of the fairway as the rough is thick grass and you will loose balls easily.

Drove up from Dallas to play a round here and it was so worth the drive. Great course conditions and even the 12th hole they warn you about is not bad at all. Plenty of amenities provided and great customer service as well. I will definitely be playing here as often as I can!

Didn't like the fact the starter had to put 4 in a group....instead of two

Great course, the new clubhouse is unreal. This place is probably the 2nd best public golf in the DFW area, only second to PGA Fields Ranch.

On ScissorTail, they are having to regrow some fairway grass on a couple of holes, and on the 12th green. Nothing too bad and it will fill in this summer I'm sure. The fairways and greens are really good (the greens had just been punched but we're in good shape). Because of the winter dead spots, they discounted the round about 50%, which is more than other courses will even think of doing.

Do yourself a favor, play here, get there early, and enjoy the new bar area. Worth it.

Go play it you won't regret it. You will have a hard time finding a course of this quality under $100. Showed up early and the started let me tee off early (solo). I played through two groups but its wasn't because the play was slow, only because I was solo. Only 4 stars because some tee boxes and fairways have bad spots from the winter, also one green was in pretty bad shape. Don't let that stop you though get out there and play it. It's a great track.

The Scissortail course is pretty beat up. Fairway grass nearly non-existent. Two greens had less than 20% grass. The entire course is and will be Cart Path Only for the foreseeable future. Pace was very slow due to the CPO rules. Bunkers were in good shape and 16 of the greens were pretty good too. Due to CPO and conditions, I did receive a significant discount. It made it worth the drive. Rumor has it they may close the Scissortail for a bit so it can recover. Staff was very friendly as always, the practice facilities still a great experience, and we tried the new restaurant this time. I'll be back to play Redbud again soon but I'll hope that Scissortail recovers for the fall.
