Solid course for the money

Good condition, a lot of slopes on the greens makes it tough on some putts, fairly easy, not a lot of water, pretty wide fairways. Pace of play was slow because some people don’t like to let you play through.

Could be better

Not too bad. Couple of holes cart path only, but a lot of courses have had a lot of rain lately. Very slow play which they need a marshal to control.

Slow play

Had a thresome and a twosome in front of us. Very bad golfers. No etiquette. Would not let anyone thru. One single behind us jumped ahead of them. 2 holes were cart path only. But still in good shape

Way too slow

Was backed up starting at hole 4 and then by 14, it was backed up 3 deep at every tee box. I didn’t finish the round it was playing so slow. Really disappointing and not a marshal in sight. Seems like a few members or homeowners jump in on random holes and kill the pace. Like this course but probably won’t be back until they get a handle on this.

Way too slow

Was backed up 3 deep on every tee box from #14 onward. They need a ranger that actually does something. There are way too many homeowner members that will jump in with no tee time and screw everything up. Get it under control.

Won't be back.

I don't have time for 5+ hour round. By the time we got to 10 the twosome in front of us quit and we were already 30 min behind pace. We left after hunting for golf balls and finishing13 from being backed up since hole 3. Country club that allows slow play and I'll find somewhere else that manages the course better. Greens are pretty slow also.

Greens could be mowed a little shorter

Great track. Great people there. Cart girl was always available and friendly. Greens could be shorter but tough in the Texas heat I understand. Awesome track

Good but dry fairways

Seems like they need to water fairways more. Several already burned up.

Fiery Texas Day

Course was dry, fast, hard because searing heat over past week. Golf course was in excellent shape from tee box onto the huge greens. Challenging but fair layout that will test all aspects of your game. Great facilities other than golf.

Great Couse with high rough

I have played this course a couple of times each year for a while now.

The course is in great shape except for a couple of bunkers, which were more hard pan than sand.

The only complaint would be the high rough caused slow play because everyone had difficulty finding balls when slightly off the fairway.

Overall, we had a great time on this challenging course.

Good Time

My Son and I snagged 2nd off on a hot Sunday morning. The twosome in front of us was gone after the third hole and the single behind us played through on 10. Never saw anyone else but the beverage cart which came around often. Rough was a tad long and the bunker grasses were pretty fuzzy but other than that, the course is in good shape.

One of Best Public Courses in DFW

Great conditions. Staff super friendly. Some of the most picturesque par 3s in DFW. Big gap between Black tees and one up. Course played shorter than listed—good runout on fairways. Only complaint was rough a little thick. Had a few good shots that just missed fairway that were too hard to find.
