Rating 71.4

The old Pecan Valley muni has evolved over the years as the successful culmination of work between the Army Corps of Engineer, the city of Fort Worth, and the Tarrant County Water Control District. When the city sold the old Worth Hills Golf Course to Texas Christian University, they were able to fund a deal to buy the 27-hole Benbrook Municipal below Lake Benbrook.

The Hills Course was rounded out in 1981 by Dave Bennett, who completed the addition to supplement this shorter, more wide-open course. The course is less lengthy now but water comes into play often, including the 375-yard 2nd hole that doglegs left around water.

Avoid Until Spring

This is never a top tier course but the winter conditions are the worst I've seen. Difficult to find decent grass even in the middle of the fairways. Tee boxes are mainly sand.

Staff doesn't communicate

Played on 12/31, had a tee time at 11:52. Checked in as normal and on hole 12 a kid came up to us and said course was closing at 2:45?!?! Of course we were upset as there was zero communication from the staff when we checked in. Went to the office and the man locking up said they were closing, he was rude and yelled that he didn't care that we weren't told about closing early. My biggest issue is they should have communicated the early closing and atleast charge twilight rates, we payed full price with no concessions for the lack of communication

Had no carts available for our round

Had a 1 PM tee time and when we showed up no carts were available and 30 people were waiting for carts to be returned so they could start the round. No baskets for range balls were available either. Paid for 18 holes got started 40 minutes late and then they came out on the course and made us turn our carts in before we finished the 18 holes. We also had a group of six players in front of us which slowed down the pace of play and a group of five players ahead of them. No concession on them being late and having no carts still was charged the full price with no vouchers or any concessions whatsoever. I will never play this course again.

paired up with another single and we were done in 3 hours

Fairways and greens are in good shape. It was not crowded if you start there early, before noon. It was 50 degrees, but sunny. I took my jacket off halfway through the round. I prefer playing the hills vs. The River because The River always gets backed up on the back nine. There are no golf Marshals to keep-up the pace of play. Don't like the food there, so I pack my own lunch. I still like the course. One advantage is that you don't have to pair someone up if you don't want to, like many other courses do.

Great Layout with OK Conditions

We played the Hills Course, and it was a great layout. Lots of driver action with a few par 3s to make it interesting. Wasn't too difficult to navigate as a beginner. Didn't lose a ton of balls to hazards, so that was nice.

The only gripe we had were the conditions of the rough and the greens. Obviously, we are approaching the off season, but the roughs were very dry with barely any grass at points. It wasn't a major issue, but I thought it was worth noting. The greens were extremely patchy. Made putting a nightmare because it was very inconsistent.

Overall, fun time. I'd come back in the spring where conditions will most likely be a lot nicer.

Fun track

Good layout, Hills course, fairways a little dry & hard so need to hit ball cleanly. Greens rolled well, but have tough slopes so good chipping/putting & keep ball under hole a must. Look forward to playing again.

Get what you pay for

Without being to harsh, reminder — it is a municipality course. I played the hills course. The grounds were harder than anything I’d experienced in a long while, and mostly dirt. Greens, good luck getting anything to stick, whatsoever. Tee boxes, Same deal. Be sure to bring plastic tees, not wood. Once again, I payed roughly $20 after all my discounts — so little expectations, but personally just wasn’t a fan. Only benefit is I bet my drives went an extra 30yards.
