Length 7063 yards
Slope 130
Rating 73.6

The original Squaw Valley course, Apache Links, opened in 1992–a Jeff Brauer design that is open on the front and more densely wooded on the back. Brauer’s work involved bringing in dirt to provide some mounding to the flat terrain, and he placed the course along a scenic creek that comes into play, mostly on the back.

No. 9 is the best hole on the front because of its split fairway. Macho men can go for the green by aiming over the lake–otherwise it plays a pedestrian 362 yards if you choose the left side, where it doglegs around the lake.

On the back, Nos. 15 and 16 are back-to-back par 4s that you’ll be glad to get out of the way. The 15th rolls 462 yards and doglegs right, requiring a tee shot over the creek. The long approach is especially challenging due to the long row of trees at the corner of the green. Hole 16 features an elevated green above Squaw Creek. Play for position off the tee because the hole is not long.

Top Shelf - Every Time

This is one of the best 2 courses you can play in Texas. Always in great condition. After playing there are 2 great places to eat close by. Hammond’s BBQ and the Loco Coyote. A must play.

I love this course

I love to play this course because it has a little bit of everything to throw at you. The customer service at the desk could be a little more customer friendly but once you are out on the course, you forget about everything but golf!!!!

Great Day

Squaw Valley, located in Glenn Rose, TX. Was in good condition and the greens rolled well and fair.

The staff, led by course Pro, Duff Cunningham was friendly and helpful. It was very busy so the pace of play was a little slow.

I look forward to returning.

I love the fairways greens and tee boxes. It is the end of December and the fairways were soft and the greens receptive and smooth. Always worth the drive to play here.

rude poor customer service

Thought I purchased 2player hot time @8:40 am

found out I only purchased 1player. Went back inside to purchase another time for a single so me and my son could play. The one thing I want you to know is the wind chill temp was probably 36 degrees with the wind blowing 24 mph with gusts up to 36mph, with maybe 3 golfers on the whole course. the employee in the golf shop I felt was harassing me telling me were not allowed to do this. Really what's the big deal we drove an hour to play golf. Really!!!!!

nice course, top notch staff

Played here on my bday, as all other courses close to me were closed due to the rain. They were kind enough to let us play after our 45m driver from FW. I had called before we left to verify they were open, and they said they were, but we were the only people on the courser all day. Links course was a little soggy, but after 18 holes there was maybe 4 times where i had to move my ball out of a watery spot on the fairway. Course drained nicely as round progressed and the greens are great.

Pro shop dude was friendly and as i said, allowed us to play when they easily could have closed the course due to lack of any ttimes being booked.

This has turned into a favorite in the DFW area. Well worth the $ and great layout. I do enjoy the Links better, but both very nice.

Not so GolfNow friendly.

CHECK IN STAFF was anything but friendly to help get us out early because our reservation was made through GolfNow. And, yes there were openings to get me out which would have helped their pace of play.

unprofessional attitude.
