About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 6936 yards
Slope 136
Rating 74.1

One of the best public facilities in Texas, Texas Star is ironically located in the middle of an industrial area, yet somehow sports the natural look and feel of the Hill Country. Designed by Keith Foster, this is a tough course with numerous hazards, immaculate conditions, and many unique holes.

Foster’s design tips out at 6,936 yards and is a par 71. Hurricane Creek traverses the landscape, and the old oaks that line the course offer the perfect respite from the surrounding industrial community.

No. 15 is one of the better holes--a 37-yarder highlighted by a green-fronting pond and waterfall. The fairway is split due to the hazard, and a solid tee shot of at least 220 yards is required to carry the falls.

Another great hole is the scenic 179-yard No. 16, which plays downhill and is framed by a rock-lined creek on the right. No. 18 is a nice ender, going 535 yards with water everywhere. Leave yourself a short-iron approach, since the green is protected by a creek.

Note that the course is closed on Tuesdays, and in the summer the club is known to limit play to 100 golfers per day. And while some complain that it this is a cart-path-only course, the condition of the fairways more than makes up for the inconvenience.

Getting there : From the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, take Hwy, 183 west to Hwy, 157. Drive south to Hwy. 10 and turn right. The entrance is 1 mile down and visible from the highway.

Fantastic shape for this time of year!!!!

Overall, the experience at Texas Star was impeccable as usual! This was my second time playing it (although it's the first time in over 6 years!). The fairways were in perfect condition, and the bunkers had some good sand in them as well. Another big plus about the course is that they are still using bent grass greens! The greens were a little hairy (haven't been mowed yet) when we played, but overall they still rolled really true. All in all, this course has a little bit of everything that a golfer will enjoy! Just be sure to be playing the right tees! The Texas Tees are a real challenge!

Great golf

This is one of the best courses in the area for the money. Well maintain, challenging with different elevations, great greens, well place bunkers and water. Course makes you think all the time, but is fair. You can spray the ball and still have shots. I would recommend to any level of play, just play the right tees.

THIS TRACK IS VISUALLY OUTSTANDING.

THE SETTING IS TREE LINED BLOCKING OUT MOST OTHER HOLES.
THE ONLY HICK UP WAS ALL THE UNREPAIRED BALL MARKS ON THE GREENS. OTHERWISE, OUTSTANDING.

Solid outing

Played a little slow but I understand why this course stays so busy. It is in great condition from start to finish and the bent grass greens are in perfect condition. Fun layout, great location, staff and amenities... A nice change of pace from the run of the mill DFW courses.

Course was in great condition but VERY slow play.

I have always like the Texas Star golf course, but I had NOT played it in years. Well, when GolfNow had a great offer, I decided to play it...Well the course was in great shape, the staff was very friendly, but the pace of play was terribly slow. It took over 2 hours to play 6 holes. It was then, that I threw in the towel and called it a day....I will say I was warned that they were crowded and that it "might" be a little slow...but at the rate we were playing...it would have over a 6 hr round....

I will play the course again...but probably in the fall when its not as crowded...

Awesome practice facility, deadly rough.

This was one of the best courses I have been to in the DFW area. Fairways and greens were perfect, but the rough was something I have never seen before. if u hit a slightly bad shot u prob lost your ball so make sure u take a couple extra. They had plenty of ice cold water stations around the course to keep us hydrated when it was 99+ out side.

Wow! Texas Star is one of my new favorites!!

Was looking for a course to play I'd never played before in DFW, so decided on Texas Star because of recent reviews from other golfnow members about how incredible shape this course was in. Thank you! This course was GREAT shape! A lot of fun but tough. Would highly recommend anyone to give it a shot!

Top Public Play Course in Metroplex

Course is in pristine condition. I would put this course up against any public course in Texas for that matter there probably isn't a hand full of private courses in Texas that are in better condition. Loved the layout, played the blue tees 6500 very challenging yards. I would recommend you go play it you wont be disappointed.

Best daily fee course in the DFW area

Very well maintained, challenging layout with good elevation changes. Greens hard to hold due to downsloping away from tees on many holes. Excellent practice facility at no additional cost. Food in clubhouse beats most private clubs. Friendly clubhouse and course staff.

Texas Star Golf Club Course is the Star

Played the course following a rain event the night before that dropped approximately 1" on the course. Although it was cart path only the course was only modrately wet. This Spring the DFW area has been having rains across the region about once every week and the heat has just started to get going unlike most Springs/Summers.

The course was GREAT!!! The course in itself is usually a good test of golf, but Mother Nature has bee good to it this year and it is in awesome shape. Defined fairways and rough. Since it rained the previous evening some of the sand bunkers were inundated with water, but not washed out. However, I don't think the sand bunkers are up to par with the rest of the course conditions just from looks. The greens were in very good shape and rolled fairly quick and true.

With the good watering from Mother Nature the course is green and the surrounding foliage frames every hole. A very good expreince for all golfers, especially right now. Got a great rate on golfnow.com for some after noon golf.

Excellent course both in condition and value. Great layout, one of he best in the area.

The course is fair, but provides enough challenge to be interesting. The variety of holes is very good. Fairways are generous enough to hit driver on almost all. The conditioning was excellent with good greens and fairways. It is one of the best courses in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and definitely one of the best bargains. Pace of play was much better than average.
