Tour 18 Dallas

I played yesterday. Over the years I’ve heard people say the course is in bad shape, they are correct.

I love the layout. The amenities are really good. But the bunkers are not maintained and the pictures speak for the greens. I asked the pro shop when the pin positions are, he said anywhere they could find grass.

I really don’t understand why they don’t take care of their greens. The weekend rates are $125 and it is so not worth it.

Let me say that I love the design, intent and location of Tour 18. That being said, the condition of the greens was totally unacceptable given the premium experience expected and the price point.

Tee boxes, fairways were just fine. Sand traps were inconsistently maintained. The greens were terrible, many with burned out spots, very rough, snd seemingly haven’t been rolled or well cut. It seems like the maintenance has been a second thought.

I will not return until I see more reviews that the greens have been punched, sanded and improved. Perhaps in the fall.

This was a good round of golf for me at 81 but it would have been much better with expected top quality greens. It cost me at least 4 strokes.

Very nice golf course with horrendous greens. All 18 greens were in "unputtable" condition. The management still charges top rates in these conditions..

Golf Course Layout is fun, but the greens are Terrible!

Greens were almost dead, for the 135 weekend rate I expect to at least have a decent surface to putt on. Apparently they’ve been struggling to keep them alive, very unhappy, could have found better green conditions at a muni…

Our first time to play Tour 18 and was very excited. The course looked I. great shape until we saw the greens. Greens were terrible! Certainly expected better especially after paying $125 for the round. I would play again and pay $125, but not until greens are actually playable.

Like the past two years for this course the greens are in terrible shape. I would expect better course conditions for a price tag set at $120.

The greens were nitrogen-scorched and left in very poor supervision and planning. Not one green was near putt-able or presentable. A real shame as this course is awesome most of the time.. Made for a bad Sunday. I would not have wasted my day and paid over $110 to experience unplayable greens.

Heard this course was excellent in the past but things have changed first the course needs a remodel very Toruń down and looking like it hasn’t been taken care of it in a very long time first it definitely needs to have the fairways redone and mowed lots of weeds and tall grass second the greens definitely should be redone they were a mouldly looking bluish color and we’re very pitted and divet up enough to we’re your ball we’re get out of track third the sand traps we’re poorly kept up some of them were cracked and like hitting off of concrete I could go on and on but I will say I did not not feel like I got for what I paid maybe back in the day this was a great course but it is not anymore.

green are in terrible condition, bunkers very inconsistent in terms of depth of sand and overall condition. great layout, I wish course and greens were better mantained.

Love the course. Fairways excellent condition but greens awful condition. Rick hard & bumpy with many dead spots.

I’ve been playing out here for years. Staff is always nice and they check all the available services boxes. It falls short on course conditions. There is always something under repair. It seems like they don’t have a greens keeper or enough maintenance workers to keep the course in good condition. The biggest issue is the greens. There wasn’t a single green with a smooth putting surface. I couldn’t tell if they were disease, poorly maintained, or struggling from the freeze but I’ve played a bunch of other course in dfw some who charge less money and Tour 18 has the worst greens. It’s pretty much impossible to score. Either charge half of what your charging or get the course in scoring condition.

I’ve played here 3 times previously and this time was by far the worst. The greens are some of the absolute worst in DFW. I play pretty much every weekend and usually spend $75-$200 for green fees….this place isn’t worth $25 with the conditions the greens are in. Friendly staff and great course layout but save your money until they fix the issues.

We played yesterday, 05/14/22, and we were all (4 some), totally unhappy with the experience. Having played at this course many times over the last 10+ years, I couldn't believe the condition of the course and the absolutely ridiculous green fee of $135,00!!! If we would have had another chance to play at such late notice, we would have.

I have played this course at green fees from $59.00 to $75.00 and it was in great condition. I felt it was a fair price for an enjoyable golf experience.

The course overall was not maintained. The greens were worse than playing in a cow pasture. Aerated, dried out, full of sand...absolutely horrible!!. I understand now why the staff seemed to be happy, charging $135.00 for a $40.00 course. Greed is an ugly thing. I will not be playing there, possibly ever again. In addition, I plan on sharing my/our terrible experience with everyone I know that plays.

The course should be closed until they fix the greens. Mostly dirt and the bumpiest I’ve ever seen by a lot. Bunkers were a mess. Some without any sand at all - just a weed patch (e.g., 15), others with collapsing edges (e.g., 5). Water hazards on 14 and 16 look like FEMA sites —- brown water with junk floating on the surface. The Oakland Hills #16 replica (#8) completely misses the mark. The signature feature of O.H. 16 is a pristine lake bordered only by manicured fairway. In Tour 18’s version, the lake is almost entirely defiled by thick reeds — you can hardly even see any water.

Bottom Line: Will never go back … even if the green fee is $0. Waste of a day.

The tee boxes and fairways are in very condition but the greens are probably the worst in DFW! They had bare spots and not much grass and the worst part is that the greens keeper has the flag in the sandy bare spots. Makes zero sense!! Put the flags in the green grassy area, water the other areas like crazy and grass will grow. Very disappointed I paid over $100 for this!!!

I really think this course should be shut down until you get your greens fixed. This would be an amazing course if it weren’t for the poor maintenance of the greens. The value was definitely not there for the court conditions and I would not return as a result. I brought in a client and I wish I would’ve selected another course to be honest with you as putting on hard dirt it’s not a golf course I would want to take a client on.

The staff was great. The facilities off the course were great. This could be a gold mine if the course were in shape. From what I read online after my round this has been a problem for a very long time. I wish you luck and I hope you get it all resolved.

The layout is very nice, varied and challenging. But for the green fee the greens need a lot of improvement!! Worst I have seen in a while.

Like everyone else said the layout of the course is awesome, but the greens suck and to pay the price they are charging is not worth the drive or your time.
