Twin Creeks Golf Course
About
Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay designed the Golf Club at Twin Creeks (named after the two creeks that run through the course) to integrate with five strategically placed lakes that come into play. For the most part, the fairways here are generous, rolling peacefully toward large, undulating greens. Hole 11 is one of the best, a 383-yard par 4 with trees lining the fairway and a difficult green guarded by several giant pecan trees. No. 17, a 409-yarder with water on the right, requires a monster drive to carry the full body of water. The best play is to aim left even though the approach will be a bit longer. Golf Digest has rated Twin Creeks as high as 10th for the "Best Public Course" in Texas.

Nice course
The course was really nice and the pace of play was great. The green were a little patchy but other than that it was great. The Practice Facilities were very good.
Cluster &%$# Saturday
I love Twin Creeks. The course is in great condition for winter golf. Unfortunately, on Saturday afternoon, it seems the staff had abandoned the course. I found one young man working and he had seemingly lost control of everything. First off, it appears they were overbooked and running behind. There were also no golf carts available. Whole groups of people were waiting in line for golf carts (never seen this in 10 years of golfing). One group of young golfers went out into the parking lot to grab carts from people who were leaving, out of turn. Then that same group went off the first tee ahead of everyone else that was waiting that had earlier tee times. It was like the inmates were running the asylum. There was no starter at the first tee. I don't know where the manager or the rest of the employees were, but for the 40 minutes I was there before my tee time, I only saw the one guy. There were lots of angry folks out there due to this situation. Due to this situation and some slow play, I was only able to get 14 holes in before it got too dark to play.
Some things never change
Well, I arrived an hour before my tee time wanting to warm up but they were out of range balls so I was only able to get about a dozen or so swings in before my tee time, and as normal they were out of carts as they’ve never replaced all the broken down ones in the back of the cart barn. Pace of play was 6+ hours on a Saturday but that’s not unusual here. One reason was the twosome I was paired up with(who checked in right before I did) never showed up for our tee time so i let 2 foursomes go through to find a threesome to join (of course I called the pro shop from the first tee and they had no idea where the missingtwosome was, no effort to contact them either) then while my group was finishing up the first hole the missing pair cut in front of the 2 groups that I let go through and further backed up play. Never saw a Marshall all day and saw the cart girl only once and that was on hole #2. The only reason i played here was the fact that it’s close to my house, certainly not the cheapest or the best course nearby and it for sure won’t be on my list to play again until it’s either sold again or goes bankrupt. Not a bad track but not maintained for years
Absolutely Nothing Good to Say
The round today was an absolute beating. Got to the course today 45 minutes early to get settled in and warm up. For the first time ever in my life of golfing we had to wait 20 minutes for a cart. Abviously, this left us very little time to complete a proper warmup...not a huge deal but still an inconvenience. Finished hole one and moved on to #2 and joined the 3 other groups on the hole . It was weird but didn’t really think anything of it as it was a par 3 and some delays should be expected. For the next 4 holes we were greeted with same scenario. One group on the green, one in the fairway, one on the tee box, and then us waiting on deck. It took us 2.5 hours to play the first 4 holes. Multiple groups, including ours, called the pro shop to see if they could send a marshal out to sort through the situation...nothing. I will say the pace eventually sped up around hole 7. The course was in horrible shape. It’s very evident the course must have completely flooded with all the rain we had a few weeks ago. The customer service was not good at all. Check in was not smooth. Didn’t see a beverage cart all day. Pro shop was not concerned with the pace of play issues. This seems petty but the snack bar was out of hotdogs...I needed something very quick and easy to eat so I didn’t contribute to the pace of play issues and they were out...what golf course runs out of hot dogs on a Saturday. Anyway, with all the options we have in DFW for really good golf it a shame to see this. We will most definitely NEVER be back. Save your time and money and play somewhere else.
Great day
Excellent pace, beside the links conditions due to the pass raining days.
Great Layout
Really enjoyed the course. The layout was good. Not a long course, but fair. I was a single joining a twosome to make a threesome. Caught the foursome in front of us on hole 8, it was pretty slow from then on. The greens were in good shape and rolled true. The tee boxes and fairways were dormant, but looking forward to going back when it warms up.
Windy Day
Course was in great shape! We had a tough round hitting into the wind but, we were playing golf!!
Great shape for winter play
It was 40 degrees and 8 am when I played. It had been quite a while since I played the course. The course was in fantastic shape for winter play. Good fairways and the greens were in very good shape. I played from the white tee boxes because of the wintry weather. Under normal circumstances I would play the blues. Great layout. It may become one of my regular courses to play if I can get a GolfNow hot deal.
Cancelled Tee Time
I booked a Hot Deal tee time 2 days in advance of playing the course. I was looking to take advantage of 70 degree Dec weather (along with everyone else). Upon arrival to the course I was notified that my reservation has just been cancelled. Less than an hour before the tee time. The pro shop attendant didn't seem remotely interested in being accommodating. He said that it was between me and GolfNow. I'm not sure who was at fault (the course or golfnow). but neither was helpful in making this correct. Just seemed a little suspicious that a prepaid Hot Deal rate was cancelled on the busiest golf day in December for probably full rate paying customers. Twin Creeks just lost a long time customer.
Lack of Marshals
This is the third time that this has happened to us. Start off on hole 1 and 2 with no problems. Get to hole #3 and there is a foursome on the blue tee box, a threesome on the white tee box, a twosome in front of the green waiting for the foursome on the green to finish. No Marshals to keep up pace and it makes for a very irritating round of golf.
Good time
Enjoyed course and pace of play. Played late
Afternoon.
Up and Down
Twin Creeks has benefits from a very wet year because its owner, Arcis, will not spend the money to properly water it. Since it has been mostly dry over the last 45 days, Twin Creeks has turned yellow faster than other local courses.
We played a 3.5 hour round for 17 holes. We skipped number 8 because in front of us there were four carts and seven people in one group! So we figured we would jump ahead of them because there had to be a huge opening in front of them. We also called the pro shop to complain and since Arcis won't pay for a marshal, all we got was the excuse, "Sorry, we are understaffed.
Turns out there was not a big hole in front of us because there was a fivesome in three carts who were actually with the sevensome now behind us. The fivesome was actually the slower playing group of the two groups.
We did not ask to pull ahead of the sevensome and that was wrong on our part. So, they caught up to us and we almost got into a fight. Cooler heads prevailed and all was good with that.
I don't blame them, I blame Arcis. They let five plus groups play together, they don't hire a marshal and they don't take care of what
