Par 72
Length 6608 yards
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.

The staff was friendly and the cart girl was great. The greens on the other hand were garbage.

Greens are still a mess

Greens continue to struggle. We were told that they are replacing all the greens in June. I believe they have dropped their price to play. They should not be charging any mpore than $25 to play for what you get. Fairways are as hard as a rock and thin.

Greens are a mess

Greens are an absolute mess. It's like putting on the surface of the moon. Lots of bare spots. Rest of the course is fine, but they are overcharging on the round due to the greens.

Pinnacle club

Pinnacle is overall a great course. The layout, the fairways, and most of the time the pace. Only comment I have is the greens are in terrible condition. I have been told they are in the works to redo but it’s been awhile and really no progress. But besides that great staffing. Grill and bar well worth it.

Condition review

The course layout and tee to green are good to very good. Unfortunately, the greens have mostly been lost due to a fungus. Appears they’ll be replacing then starting in 2 weeks with temporary greens. Then sounds like not ready until around September. Too bad as this course has always been a favorite.

Beautiful course

Great layout with large mature trees. LOTS of water hazards. Greens are not in good shape right now though, possibly due to recent weather patterns in the area. They’re extremely sandy with large dead areas.

Poor! Poor! Greens Maintenance

The overall rating is average. The greens (75% of them) were in very bad conditions. Mostly sandy patches all over the greens. If the Pro Shop, Golf Now, or Tee Off would have warned the consumer it could have been better. Also if the course would have offered a discount rate for the conditions of the greens, something besides the surprise we got at the first hole!

Unprofessional marshal

4 of us teed off at 3:25 pm. No one in front or behind us! We were 2 man scrambling, 2 teams! Finished #1 about to start #2 and the marshal approached us and said he had gotten several complaints on us. Said we were 10 minutes behind in play. I asked him if he knew what time we teed off and he said that’s it you all are out of here!. A group of 16 was on number one tee box and were homeowners in pinnacle! I think they wanted the course to themselves! Won’t waste another dime there! Then he acted like a complete jerk in the pro shop!

Greens still dormant

Greens are virtually unplayable at this time. The grass is still dormant and they have heavily sanded the greens. T boxes are in similar shape. I have played this course many times and this is the worst condition it has ever been in. Hopefully with warmer weather the greens will respond but I would wait until then

So sad

This place used to be a hidden gem but the greens are unplayable it’s really sad. They should honestly be using temporary greens on all but three holes. I’ve never seen greens this bad. Not to mention my range finder seems to have grown legs and walked off. I will not be back
