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.

I was disappointed with the price of drinks.

We bought 2 bloddy marys' for 2 golfers and was charged $81.00. There was a cart service fee and a beverage fee which was, in my opinion, outrageous.

I will never buy any drinks.

Some of the pin placements very difficult with the slopes. Have to hit it in the right place to avoid 3 putting. Other than that one of the better courses. Wish it wasn't so far away

Day trip from Dallas

Super fast greens that roll true. If you miss a putt within 5 feet, it's your fault. Tight fairways put driving and club selection at a premium. 8th green - I putted across the green, the putt turned about 6 inches short of the cup, then rolled 20 feet downhill and off the green, so you better be below the hole on your approach. The best opportunity to improve the course is for the tee boxes to be leveled off again. Many of the tee boxes were leaning one way or were crowned, so you tee off above the ball or below the ball. A cool feature is the 10 tee box is on one side of the lake, then you drive through the neighborhood, turn then go through/over the covered bridge, and finally another turn to get to the green. Definitely recommend this course.

Another great round

Great course. Fairways tight and fast. Will roll for distance but quickly to trouble. . Greens are like marble counters but in great shape. Play below the hole where you can. Downhill putts will kill the card.

Beautiful

Was expecting the course to be real wet after 2 inches of snow on Sunday but was really surprised it was in excellent condition . And the staff member in the pro shop name Michael and Pro Tim Lawson were very professional and friendly! So if anyone is looking for a challenging golf course this will be the one !

First time - can't wait to go back

This place is great. Tee time 9:04. No one out in front. We played our pace never waiting to hit a ball. Just had two days of rain so cart path only but you don't mind when the fairways are in such good condition. Greens were a bit slow early until they dried up a little. But they are in great shape. Fairways are narrow here so you'll be thinking about a 3 or iron off the tee plenty - dog legs also force decisions. If you can shape drives with a draw or fade you'll have fun with the dog legs. Not a lot of water but the water holes had plenty to navigate. Many of the holes were very reachable for a average hitter like me so I can't wait to get back out there and look to carve a few more strokes off the score. Highly recommend.
