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.

Great course and staff

This was my second time playing here. I really like the course and it is worth the drive from Dallas. Layout is challenging if you miss fairways. Lots of trees and narrow landing areas. We were warned by a women at the course the mosquitos were terrible. She was 100% right. Thankfully we had some bug spray or we would have left after the first 5 holes. Not sure why the maintenance crew could not work to alleviate all the standing water around the course. Especially near the cart paths. My biggest issue was we booked on GolfNow and got stuck in the middle of a Friday morning mixed league and then a second league right after us. The groups in front were fine. The ones behind us need to learn some etiquette. They were on our tails all day. And we are not slow golfers. They would drive up on us on the tee box when they could see we had no where to go. They would hit their tee shots near us. We played blue tees and they were playing gold. I felt rushed to play all day. We always eat at the. Lib because the food is amazing and staff are great. I will continue to play here but may call ahead if looking to play on a Friday morning to make sure I don’t get lumped in with the crew of old folks that think they own the course.

Great course

The course always plays harder than the course rating. Greens aren’t huge and fairways are relatively tight.

Yesterday the mosquitoes were awful. Wish the area could apply treatment.

Great Course

Enjoy playing at this course. Good mix of bunkers and water features. The narrowness of some fairways added a another level of complexity. I highly recommend this course.

Well kept course

Groundskeepers seem to be all about keeping the course playable and in good shape. A few tee boxes seemed to be missing watering, but other than that it was in very good shape. I enjoy playing there although it is 87 miles from my home. Golfnow let's me afford it as a retiree.

Wow factor location

This course is a little gem. Beautiful setting around a lake but with woodland set holes. Staff were very welcoming as were locals. Only slight disappointment was there were no water facilities on the course and non provided on the buggy on a record breaking 100 degrees heat of mid-May. Notwithstanding this the course was well kept and played nice with no hold ups.
