Twin Creeks Golf Course

Course was in great shape! We had a tough round hitting into the wind but, we were playing golf!!

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.

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.

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.

Enjoyed course and pace of play. Played late

Afternoon.

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

I have played this course a few times but stayed away after what happened in the spring. I gave it another shot on Saturday but it was a mistake. The play was slow because there was no marshal out there to tell the group that was three holes ahead to get moving. It was so bad that the group behind us quit after 9 holes.

Although I only landed in two of them the sand traps were hard and had more dirt than sand in them. it was impossible not to blade the ball and send it flying over the green.

If you do go out there just know that there are some issues with the course.

This course had great greens and fairways, it was worth the 24 dollars we each paid to play.

When we got to the first tee, there were two groups ahead of us. Our tee time was 8:10 and the other two groups told us their tee times were 8:00 and 8:06 ??? There was no starter. In addition, the 8:00 group was painfully slow (not very good golfers) and there were no marshals/rangers to keep them moving. The course (fairway & green) was in good condition and the course is challenging but fair. It lures you into taking risks and punishes you if you make a mistake (especially on the finishing 3 holes).

I have played here off and on for a while and it is just down the street from my home. However after this last time I will not be playing here again. The tee boxes were hard as rocks and the traps were also difficult to hit from. For the money you have to spend you would think they would be able to keep the course in good shape. Especially since this summer has been milder than normal. Also wish they would use a netting system down both sides of the driving range. It would be safer and less range balls would be lost.

The staff there is very nice but that is not enough to make me spend the money charged until they treat a classic Palmer design with the respect it deserves.

Played this course for the first time with a friend who declares it to be one of the best in the area. Clubhouse staff only seemed interested in collecting my money. (Didn't give me any information regarding the course nor conditions.. actually took a phone call and left me standing at the counter. The greens were very inconsistent. Fairways were dry in several spots. The course layout offered a nice challenge. There was no "starter" to pair groups up.. so, 3 twosomes were ahead of us, each group playing separately. This slowed the pace of play considerably. Overall, not a bad course. I will definitely give them another try.

I played on Labor Day, so needless to say, the pace of play was slower than normal. Otherwise, the round was great! I always enjoy playing at Twin Creek. It's a challenge from any Teebox. I'll be back

Absolutely the slowest 9 holes I've ever played. At 3 hours to complete, I have to say it was the first time I was ever relieved to be done. Should have known something was up when there were no carts ready But the parking lot wasn't anywhere close to full. No starter or Marshall. Saw the cart girl once in 3 hours. Oh yeah did I mention 3 hours to play 9? Despite the course itself being in good condition this is the worst place in DFW to play. So much wasted potential.
