Rusted Rail Golf Course, located about half hour or so southeast of Dallas, has a new name and a new look. Formerly known as Creekview Golf Course, the facility was purchased in July 2017, then renamed and renovated. Reopened in August 2018, Rusted Rail unveiled what is essentially a new golf course with renovations on its 36 bunkers, new Champion Bermuda greens, a new irrigation system and vastly improved conditions, including new cart paths and restroom facilities. Designed by Dick Phelps in 1995, the course can play from around 5,800 yards to more than 7,200 yards. The layout features mature oaks lining many of the holes with elevated greens and mounding. The course also has a stream running through the middle of it as well as ponds that come into play on about a half dozen holes. Additionally, the clubhouse has been completely remodeled and expanded to around 17,000 square feet.

Great Survivor

Played this course about 2 years ago and it was one of the worst courses I had ever played. You can tell that the owners now want to give you a good course for the money. My son was playing with me on this round and thought that it was a good setup and fair course. Really had great time and enjoyed the round very much, I will be visiting this course again to keep seeing the continuing improvements. Nice job on saving a good course!!!

Grand Opening for the Rusted Rail GC

Staff is superb! The course is very good, the greens are good and they are still working to make them better. I think the course will just continue to get better and better.

New course and clubhouse - worth the drive

This was the first time I've been out to the new Rusted Rail since it was re-done and was extremely impressed. The new owners have clearly put a lot of time and money in to this facility (formerly Creekview). The old clubhouse is completely gone and rebuilt. New tees and greens were put in and look great. The value is well worth the 20-25 min drive from Dallas. Will be back soon.

Golf course REBORN

This course has been reborn. My pasture used to be better, but after a year closure and MAJOR overhaul this is a real golf course again. The fairways are good and most of the greens are good, they are still working on them and should continue to improve. It’s only been open for 3 weeks so look for better things to come.

Improved but still needs work

This course has a very nice layout. I played it when it was Creekview. The Rustic Rail team have greatly improved it. The bunkers are great with soft white sand to test your play from bunkers. The course layout stayed the same. Hole #11 is very confusing. I could not tell if it was playable or under repair. Most of the greens needed some work. And the tee boxes needed to be mowed. The course needs TLC. with so many nice courses within the DFW area offering very good GolfNow hot deals, Rustic Rail is going to have to offer competitive rates to draw players. I will not play it again unless I get a GN hot deal below $20.

Should be closed until repairs are made

The only part of the course that was mowed was the greens,. Which is ironic since there was no grass on the greens. Worst course conditions I have ever seen!!

Course Needs A Lot of Work

I played this course about 7 years ago, and it was in good shape. Now it is in very rough shape. I am told they are evaluating how to resurrect it.

Terrible Condition

The pictures do not show how the course really is. There is no sand in the bunkers. The grass is not cut with any regularity. The greens really cant even be called greens. Weeds everywhere.

I was looking for a course to get a little warmup round in, since I haven't played in awhile. After the first hole, I had already decided that it wasn't even worth playing all 18 holes. Looking forward to actually playing at a good course next weekend

Creekview GC- Crandall, TX

The course didn't look great aesthetically. To my surprise the green (although not green) has true rolls. There were a few greens that needs minimal repair. The course offered challenging lengths from the white tees. The carts are gas operated and offer a lot of power. The driving range leaves a lot to be desired. The club house offered hot dogs, links, and soda. With a little bit of time and money this course will see better days.

The course wasn't bad for it's financial situation. The greens were ok and the fairways were decent. The bunkers were abandoned however a local told me they were playing them as GUR

Never go back

This is the worse course I have ever played.

The entire thing is a wreck, very poorly managed. Jimmy, the morning cashier ,has got to. be the rudest individual I have ever encountered. It won't be in business much longer. I'll never go back.

Weather was beautiful, son drove from Denton to play with me...we had a great time. Course in rough shape, minimum staff, possible financial issues(?). It can be enjoyable if expectations are low and you can avoid the fire ant mounds.

This is a Shame!

This is a very good layout that was not properly run and has gone into receivership by the bank. The course upkeep reflects this. The tees that are maintained are not bad, the greens roll true but need some major work in areas. The sand traps have not been maintained and are full of weeds as is the case for the fairways. There are some new folks there trying to resurrect this course - the bank is asking $1.2 million for the property from what I understand. It's in a flood plain so can't be developed. This coiurse might not be a bad deal for someone that knows how to run a golf course. I hope someone will save it as it is a very good track.

Don't expect too much and you'll be ok.

After listening to everyone talk it down we weren't expecting too much. They had just mowed so I'm sure that made it better. Greens were a bit sparse but rolled ok. Be sure to take care of business before you get on the course ( no toilet paper in the restroom out on the course). I really hope they save this course, it's been a fun reasonable place to play in the past. All in all it really wasn't as bad as we were expecting. We only paid 10 bucks on Golf Now and it was worth that!

Venue

This was the worst experience of my daughters (the bride's life) a memory ruined forever. On the week prior to the event a miscommunication (not on my daughters part) but by the event planner about a walk through but because of the rain the golf course was closed. This brings us to August 28th the day of my daughters wedding. We got there at 8:00 met by someone else I believe was Beverly who absolutely was amazing. We got all set up the wedding was to start at 1pm the wedding started at 1:20. At 1pm James who i am guessing is a GM or owner or whatever ran up the stairs when questioned he said he had to do something that would take a minute. He was up there for 20 when he proceed to come down the stairs i told him to stop for a few my daughter was walking down the stairs her wedding was starting. He passed me and proceeded down the stairs my daughter asked him what he was doing that she was walking down the isle could he not hear the music that she was getting married to get out and he gave her a nasty look and went down the stairs this will forever be in her video there is no editing this part out. When James and Dana were confronted he stated he had permission to go up there from the videographer which is an employee of mine James was informed several times that the wedding was going on and he had no regard for this. His manners are rude to say the least I asked him when confronted what are you going to do to make this right you never apologized you didn't do anything he stated i was going to talk to the mom I am the mom. I informed him of this I informed him that we would be filing suit he said you can't get blood from a turnip. At which time Dana came back over to the venue after the bride and groom left to get details and than called the bride on her wedding day on her way to her honeymoon and said if you have video proof I will refund you the money of the venue. Which I am in the process of getting this from our photographer. However, there is no fixing this. There is no redo for the video. Forever this man will be in my daughters video. The grounds are unkept, there was a keg by the front door, golf course batteries where there is a area that should have flowers. This was a convenient location for all and if the venue wouldn't have been paid for in advance we would have just canceled after the no show to do the walk through. Very unhappy . The bride is upset. The video ruined. I wouldn't want another to go through this. The venue is pretty. The staff is less than professional to say the least. The only one I can give props to for trying is Beverly.

You booked your reservation on Golfnow.com? But how was the golf? ...

You can take a small measure of consolation in the fact that based on statistics,in a few years it will be the marriage that provides her with endless disappointment and not the wedding. And if her's is a marriage that defies the odds, this unfortunate video will provide for long lasting levity. I know this because 31 years ago I had such an event happen that also was caught on my wedding video. In fact 3 or 4 totally different events or horrible deviations occurred on tape. I'm now going on 32 years of marital bliss. And my wedding video gets funnier every time I see it!

Course is UNPLAYABLE

Course is worst it has ever been and is simply unplayable. Tee boxes are not mowed. . Fairways are not mowed. You lose a ball in the middle of the fairway. Bunkers have zero sand and are filled with weeds up to 3 foot tall. Greens are just horrible....dead patches all over to the point of just being dirt. Weeds clumps make putting impossible.

Do not waste your time or money.
