Duck Creek Golf Course

I’ve played this course a couple of times. I understand it’s essentially equivalent to a small town muni on a shoestring budget, and do not have high expectations for the place, but you could at least properly space out tee times… Instead, we were waiting at every tee box and usually waiting multiple groups deep. I’ve played bad courses and still had an enjoyable experience many times, but I just don’t think that’s ever going to happen here. Neither worth the time nor money, imo. I won’t be going back.

I have played Duck Creek once before, so I am familiar with its poor conditioning and uninspired layout. Today at the last minute I had some freedom to play 9 holes. Unfortunately, this course was the only one nearby with tee times available. I planned to play 9 holes. When I checked in, the guy at the pro shop recommended I return for a cart in 15 minutes—which was 5 minutes AFTER I was scheduled to tee off. He offered no explanation. I decided to just walk the 9 holes, but when I showed up to the first tee there was a group on the first green, two groups on the fairway, and another two groups waiting to tee off. Shortly after two MORE groups that had tee times ahead of mine drove up to the tee box. I decided to leave the course instead of teeing off what would have been at least 30 minutes and probably closer to one hour late.

It was particularly disappointing that no explanation or even warning about the overbooked tee times was offered when I checked in. It was even more disappointing the poor attitude of the staff at the pro shop when I asked for a refund.

Even if you are willing to tolerate poor conditions on a flat (even by North Texas standards) course for cheap, this place isn’t a safe bet because they severely overbook on weekends.

$15 deal, so thought I'd give it a try.

Not long,, but challenging layout with numerous holes where water comes in play.

Worst course conditions I've EVER seen on this course.

Dirt in fairways, tee boxes not mowed, weeds and clover everywhere.. Standing water and washed out areas around green and tee boxes.

Course is in bad conditions.

Rude Staff

Greens were in terrible conditions.

Course would be a lot better if the shut it down and work on it for a year.

Can’t say enough bad things about this golf course. Everything is awful.

Greens were very hard cause balls to easily run. Often played from dirt.

This course has great bones; however, it needs more grass in fairways and tee boxes. The walk-up price for seniors would be slightly less than $30 (includes cart fee), so it is a reasonable price for course conditions. It should be noted the walk-up price is currently less than the GolfNow price.

Many greens have poa ana grass growing currently, providing a less than desirable rolling surface. The smaller greens put a premium on approach shots. In its current condition I can’t recommend this one.

This is a field with 18 flags in the ground. Absolutely no reason to play here. Pace of play is phenomenal because no one is there.

It is good to see the work being done on various parts of the course. New sod on tee boxes. A few of the greens need work.

Overall the course layout is great, each hole has its own personality and challenge, the staff has always been friendly. However the course conditions make this course feel like it should not be anywhere near $50 a tee time.

Got to the course and had to wait 30+min for our carts since they were running behind, Pace of play here is nonexistent. Waited 5/10+min at every tee box. For the price it costs to play here not worth it at all. This course should be $15 / $20. Horrible course conditions, Tee boxes were all dirt / mud , no grass existent on tee boxes. Greens are not maintained at all, full of weeds all over them. First and last time playing here. Would not recommend unless you want to waste 5+hrs playing at a horrible course.
