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 best value course around

Always a great time playing this course. If it wasn't for the out of bounds being so close to the fairways on many of the holes I would have rated it EXCELLENT across the board!

A True Hidden Gem

And well worth the 2-hour drive to get there. Course has an excellent layout with a number of doglegs. Good variety of holes with water often in play. Greens in great condition. Overall condition among the best in the area. (Has the longest cart drive in the world from the 10 tee to the 10 green!) Great fun! I'll be back!

Always enjoy the challenge of staying out of trees and out of bounds. Very difficult course for someone who's not a straight hitter. Overall a nice golf course to play. I've played it numerous times

Terrible

70 dollars for a round of golf and they can't afford a square reader for the carts girls? So they have to take my card back to the club house. The cheapest golf courses I've played at are smarter than that. The lady at the front desk was rude and made it clear she hated being there. The greens were filled with sand patches. Tight fairways between houses as well. Pretty lame overall.

Tough course

This was a tough course!! If you get out of the fairways you will need to lay up most of the time!!

Beautiful course!!

Bring a hybrid or 3 wood... several long holes need drives to stay at or under 250yds due to hazards and dog legs!!!

Pinnacle golf club June 5, 2022

First trip to Pinnacle GC and first time using GN. The course is a fun layout, slightly narrow, but relatively short. If you play smart you can score ok, but missing the line will put you in trouble with trees blocking path to green. Fairways are good and 17/18 greens were in good shape. Not pristine but better than most ETX courses available for public play. The woman in the proshop was extremely nice and helpful. I did get a slight sense that locals/property owners feel like it's their course and that they would rather not have visitors... but that vibe came from one group we encountered.

Nice Course - Front Help Not Great

I have played the course several times and it is a nice course. However, several of the greens are under repair right now and they are somewhat sandy. The big problem I have is that I am handicapped and have always been allowed to drive my cart on the dry parts of the fairways. Upon entering the course, there were signs everywhere about the 90-degree rule, which is fine when the fairways are wet or soggy. 95% of the fairways were in great condition and they were not wet. No one on the course was following the 90-degree rule and there was no marshall. I asked about being allowed to use the cart due to my condition and the front help very rudely told me in no uncertain terms that this would not be allowed.

Even with the handicap, we generally played the given rule but it would have been great to be allowed travel as required by my doctor. Otherwise, I would not have made the reservations when I did.
