Duck Creek Golf Course

Just the usual winter golf but the grounds quite dry

Hello,

Duck creek seemed to have a kitchen fire or something. The course was shut down and the clubhouse destroyed. I was not able to play there. Golf now should not have them listed on the site. I’d appreciate a refund for the tee time booking.

I showed up to the course and there were about 6 people waiting around. I found out that they were waiting on golf carts because they were all being used. I had to wait 30 minutes for a cart and was already pressed for time to beat it getting dark. Finally got on and the play was horribly slow. No marshal or anyone on the course. There was a huge bunch up on the par 3 10th and someone wanting us to give money to try and get a hole in one which slowed things down even more. Par 5 on 11 which is a horrible design for pace of play. I quit on 12 after 3.5 hours trying to get through a round. Very disappointing.

I like to give the benefit of the doubt and decided to try this place out despite the poor reviews.

The highlight was the guy in the pro shop who checked me in. He was super friendly and talkative. Both of which are sometimes missing from the more posh courses as they kind of look down their nose at you.

Then came the play...I pared the first hole and it was down hill from there.

The course conditions seemed inconsistent from decently maintained holes to some that needed more love and attention.

My biggest issue was how fast the greens were. I mean Usain Bolt running to the bathroom after some bad tex-mex fast! I had one hole where every shot I took just rolled off the other side. It was comical to say they least. I actually gave up on that hole and just went to the next one.

I also lost a few balls in the wide open. Still not sure how but I think some of it could be chocked up to leaves and then on one hole, tons of white rocks and exposed earth under some trees making it hard to ID my ball.

Navigation from hole to hole could have been clearer in a few spots. There was also this one hole that I was certain I was playing on the right fairway until the next hole when I was going back the opposite direction, saw someone else playing and realized I had played the whrong fairway and green. lol

I hate to leave bad reviews but this place just left me wanting more. It has so much potential that has yet to be realized.

Course was in good shape. Pace of play was good overall except for a fivesome. Could have used an occasional ball washer.

Perfect Day for a round of golf. Staff is very helpful and check in is easy. Other golfers are courteous as well. Course has some challenges which keeps me coming back. 18th hole is the best hole.

I’ve played this course from three months ago and pretty much played once or twice every week. I never play on weekends, so these reviews are for weekdays only. It’s very low priced but course is maintained well. The greens especially are very nice and true on the fast side. Course layout is at first glance plain and flat. We’ll everything is flat in Texas, but there’re subtle nuisance in several holes where it’s best not to tee off with driver, because the course turns quite abruptly. Took me a few rounds to realize it’s safest to tee off with a hybrid for some holes. Staffs are friendly and amenities ok. Restrooms are clean, carts are new gas powered, really nice. It has lower ratings in the past but I’d say it’s one f the better managed course around the atra

Greens are actually pretty fast and roll well. Fairways, greens and immediate rough are well kept. Lots of dry spots or hard pan under shaded areas and near water. Overall it's a fun course. Not long but you have to select your poison navigating the course

This time the staff was great , very inviting and friendly. The course was in great shape and is a very challenging course. Truly. a must play. , at one time this was a country club. Now it’s open to the public, great course to play.

I have lived in Garland the last 6 years. I have played this course at least a dozen times. The team that oversees this course has definitely put in the work to improve the conditions. This course used to be in much rougher shape than it is now. Greens are well maintained, although fast for my liking. The fairways and rough are up to snuff. The only issue on the course at this point is the bunkers are still very firm. Some are downright hard.

Overall I felt like this was an excellent course for my money

Was charged for a No show. The app would not let me cancel the night before and I did call and leave a message with the pro shop. Still charged.
