Prairie Lakes Golf Course - Red Course

Been my "home course" for over 30 years. Played a number of other local courses, this is my favorite.

Only thing some golfers won't like is there are NO sand traps. No issue there for me. But it would be nice if they added some .

First time playing Prairie Lakes. Played with some fun guys that both knew the course. Fairways were dormant, but pretty quick. The ball ran out well. Greens were receptive. Seemed like a lot of people failed to fix there ball marks??! Speed was not overly quick, but I struggled to read them because, they too were mostly dormant.We played Blue/White. Seemed like every Par 3 was overwater and playing about 180-190 yards into the wind?? There’s a reason they call it Prairie Lakes, but most of the water was pretty apparent; no hidden hazards that were actually in play(unless you were trying to hit the short Par 4s from the box). I’ll definitely go back. It reminded me of Grapevine Muni, and that’s a compliment. And the Pro Shop had a “Special” on ProVs; $40/dozen(normally $59!). Have fun! Play well!

Arrived early and had lunch at Eddlemon’s. Probably the best BBQ that I’ve had in the DFW metro. Order the brisket sandwich, you won’t be sorry.

Always enjoy this place every time I’ve played here. Yes, this is winter in Texas. The course was in great shape and the greens rolled true. One of the great things about Prairie Lakes is that it offers 27 holes. Pace of play is exceptional. This place is becoming one of my favorites.

Tee off on the Red course and stayed in the fairway about 8 minutes waiting to hit my second shot. Foursome was on the green taking forever to putt and another foursome on the fairway. I was by myself. This had 5 hours written all over it. I went back to the White course and a twosome had just tee off. I played behind them and the pace was pretty good for the day. Greens and fairways were in good shape. Shot my best front nine 44 in years but blew up on the back nine. Still had a really good time and the weather was perfect 57, sunny and no wind at all.

No beverage cart On a Saturday afternoon. No Marshall. Rushed us to tee box before our time. Course is nice. But took 6 hours to play 18, even when there are 27 holes.

Solid value for the price. Good practice facilities. Course is always in decent shape and plays pretty short. A lot of fun par 3s and challenging holes on the water. No sand. Even if you miss the fairway you have a good chance of finding your ball.

I think the title says it all, staff were wonderful, kind of expensive, but a lot was spent on remodel. Not as fun as before, even senior tees are challenging to get pars.

Love the challenges that this course has,fair and interesting holes,would come back again!!! Thanks !

No bunkers but the course lay out with plenty of trees and water give you a great challenge.

We played with foursome and did our own two man scramble.

Pace of play was good course was in excellent condition.

Bbq is always good and a beer is $4.

The par 3 holes are fun and challenging. Not a lot of variety to the par 4s and the par 5s were decent. Greens were consistent. No beverage cart.

Normally a great course.

Today speed of play was brutal.

We played Blue to red.

Pace was pretty good on Blue.

We finished it and went to Red.

Five some playing in front of us now and three foursomes in front of them.

Pro shop apparently messed up and started letting new people start on red or people coming off white were going to red instead of going to blue.

Regardless nobody paying attention to speed of play today.

We skipped 3 holes on back 9 to get around this mess. I Probably will go to a differ course my next time out.

We had a great day with the course in great shape, putts flowing smoothly. This course is beautiful along the lake with some wildlife to enjoy.
