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.

This course needs attention (mowing and watering)

This would be an excellent course if management would keep up with landscape appearance and course.

Friendly staff

I have been playing it for a while. Right now, it is pretty grown up with grass so playing conditions are tough. I keep going because the staff is nice and I can play fast. 3 to 3 and a half hours.

Creekview

The couse needs more watering and mowing. Mowed grass should be removed. Too much rough next to the fairways were too high and needed cutting.

Bad shape, easy things to fix but they don't!

Tried Creekview again ... still has the same old problems that have simple fixes.

The tee boxes were absolutely terrible. First off many (most?) only have one tee marker and they are so old and faded you cant tell whet color they are. On 2 teeboxes the white marker was a scorecard taped to an very old red marker, and the red marker on those holes only had 1 marker. So simple and inexpensive to fix! Also we had to remove clumps of cut grass to find a place to tee up - again a simple fix.

Fairways were OK since we've had some rain --- but now that's its heating up they can't, or won't water them so they will start turning hard and cracks will show up.

Green were bumpy, so try rolling them!

Creekview continues to be hurt be not paying attention to the details. Prices are not bad, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Sad state of affairs

This golf course has such good potential. The layout isn't bad but the upkeep is terrible. They are in desperate need of maintenance. The tee boxes hadn't been mowed in a week. The fairway was as bad as the rough at most courses. One of the golf carts we had was in bad repair. If I had the money, I would buy this course since it is most likely on the edge of bankruptcy, invest some money into it and turn it around. It seriously has such good potential but is currently such a mess. The lady at the front desk is so very nice...the place just needs some tlc.

Beginners only

It just keeps getting worse every time I play the track. Greens where the only thing on the course that were half decent. No way to distinguish fair ways from rough. Tee boxes not maintained bunkers just a pit with left over dirt.

Awful condition

I paid a low rate and still wished I had paid more to play some place else.

Got there no carts available.

Driving range tee boxes un-mowed with knee high grass.

No yardage markers.

Barely had tee box markers.

Bare fairways.

With all that said the greens were actually in good condition.

Just a shame to see how bad this course has been let go.

Terrible Course

This used to be an excellent golf course but it is now just horrible. The fairways are weed filled and otherwise full of animal holes.. The greens have been neglected to the extent that many are so bumpy you have no chance of the ball going straight. The sand traps have no sand, no rakes and are unplayable. I absolutely would not pay the $23.00 they are asking for a full priced green fee. The course is not worth it. The only good thing about the course is that you can play at your own pace because they are not at all crowded. The way they have let this course go is a travesty.

Sucks

Course is in terrible shape, fairways look like a field for cows. And maybe the cow's grazing would help. The grass was a half foot long at the greens. Well actually thay should call their greens, browns. No green anywhere.

Bad Conditions

This course had very hard and dry conditions. There were large cracks in the ground even in the fairway. Grass was dead which made locating your ball difficult. Staff is friendly, but the course conditions were really bad.

You get what you pay for

I got a great deal booking through the website -paid next to nothing but I will probably not return. The greens were in average condition for a municipal course but the fairways were just dead grass and dirt. I still wouldn't mind it if the course had more character but it was one one the most boring courses I've played and the course is along side a major freeway so not exactly a peaceful, interesting, fun time.

A Dump, But good for the Weekends

I have a couple buddies that don't play too often and like this course due to the fact it is pretty much empty and plays quickly and easily. Bring whatever you need, the clubhouse is pretty much empty, no new balls, tees, equipment etc, they do have candy, drinks and snacks, but no real food. The course = Minimal water hazards, wide open fairways without many trees or other hazards. All the bunkers are empty of sand so you get relief from those as they are usually muddy or full of grass and weeds. The fairways and tee boxes are terrible! The tee boxes are hard as concrete for teeing up the ball with minimal grass, the fairways are equally hard and bumpy, with massive cracks from lack of irrigation... I lost a ball in the middle of the fairway, it had to have fallen in one of the many 2"-3" wide cracks that have no bottom. When you hit a tee shot On the plus side, the greens are in really good shape compared to the rest of the course, and if you like to play fast there is usually nobody here so it plays quickly. This could be a decent course if someone took a little time and money and cleaned the place up and did a little maintenance on the course.

Fine track that has been let go a biyt

The layout is very good with a fine mix of holes that allow the "bomb" off the tee as well as needing to place shots to distance points in addition to requiring the ability to shape shots for low handicappers; everything an excellent layout must have. Greens are in great condition while the rest of the course needs water and some tender loving care.
Overall....my wife and I had a wonderful afternoon!

Great layout but terrible shape

Love the design and it could be a great course, but the conditions are terrible. I wanted to play the back tees but they were not even mown at all. It was like playing out of the rough. Fairways were long and scruffy. There were a ton of weeds everywhere. The only saving grace was that the greens were surprising in good shape. They grass looked good and they actually had decent speed. I was supposed to be first tee time at 6:32 but no one showed up till 6:38. Then I went out and caught a group that had just taken off without checking in. Then I had to play through 2 groups on 10 & 11 after I made the turn. That is always annoying to me when people are sent out on 10 when someone is turning. The have photocopied scorecards and only accept cash. I am from out of state but obviously the course has had some major problems in the past. It is too bad because if the course was in good shape, it would be a high-level course.

Bring Cash, and enjoy the course.

The new owners are not part of a credit card system yet so bring cash. I was a bit worried when I got there. No cc and the golf shop is simple. But then I got on the course and it was in GREAT shape. The owner takes pride in making the course nice and he does a good job. So,,,,, bring you cash and go golf at. Creekview. The owners need more people to go play to get more cash flow. But you will be glad you did.
