Slope 122
Rating 71.0

Formerly known as Arrowhead Country Club, Pinnacle opened in 1970 as a 9-hole track nestled on the cozy banks of Cedar Creek Lake. Tough times descended and the course was shut down before reopening with an additional nine and new ownership in the 1980s.

Dallas’ eastward growth has turned many onto the pleasant, rural atmosphere at Pinnacle Golf Club. Every hole is lined with trees and, despite its short length, the course is particularly tough because of the numerous dogleg fairways. Not counting the par 3s, 11 of 14 holes have doglegs. Because of the trees it’s recommended that you leave the driver in the bag.

The toughest hole is No. 15, a par 5 that goes 511 yards and offers a testy risk-reward decision. With a good drive into the wide-open fairway, going for it in two is possible by cutting the lake on the left side of the fairway.

Getting there : From Hwy. 175 east, find the town of Eustace and turn right on Hwy. 316. Drive. Turn right on Hwy. 316 and drive 5.5 miles to Clear Creek Rd. Turn right again and follow the signs to the course.

Would play again without question

Course is fun and in great shape. Greens were in great shape and layout was fun. Course is a little short hit irons and woods off the tee box's. Can't go wrong with playing here or Cedar Creek County Club.

Great course in ETX

Really enjoyed our 2nd time at Pinnacle. Course in great shape (bunkers do need a little cleaning) and challenging layout - but fun from proper tees.

Great value on Golf Now.

First Time Playing Course

Great course in great shape. Only complaint was it was very crowded and slow, Father Day weekend so it was expected. Very fun course with driveable par 4s, lots of water and tight fairways made for a fun day. We will be back

Work in progress

The green replacement project didn’t eliminate some severe bumps in certain greens that continue to burn easily due to mowing/rolling difficulty combined with sun exposure. The course is certainly improved but they would do well to smooth a few of the severe bumps on certain greens.

Pace of play was slow (4 hrs 20 min) but it was Father’s Day weekend. Advise not allowing 5-somes on weekends.

Great fun

Played course first time in April 2024 on new greens. Even better in mid June. Course excellent shape except bunkers needed cleaning - a lot of leaves. Fairways, tres and greens excellent condition. Rough was up but playable - no lost balls in rough. Very nice carts. Great value on golf Now

I had been excited to play this course.......

Overall I was disappointed. I had read a lot about the course but it was not in great shape overall. Some holes were great and some, particularly hole 5, had more dirt than grass. I have played 3 other courses this month that were in better shape. I will try it again in a year or so to see if it improves.
