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.

First Time

First -- I mixed up the dates for my Hot Deal, and they were more than accomodating. Honored the rate and put me on the course regardless, and were downright nice about it.

Course is not particulalrly long, if you're a big hitter it's probably not for you. The course was in far better shape than most of the courses in my area that had been drowned by recent downpours. Greens were in good shape and rolled true. Back 9 is really scenic, enjoyed the view as much as the golf. It's a little off the beaten path, but I'll certainly play it again.

Very nice course outside metropolitan area

The course is in a gated community. Starting with the entry gate attendant to the clubhouse staff to the residents of the community, everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The course is narrow and we lost our share of balls due to the slope of the land. The course has a nice layout and the fairways are different from what I normally play. Hole #10 is the signature hole. It is a par 3 that goes over a boating dock. It took 5 minutes for us to figure out how to get to the green. Nice course but the friendliness of the people is what I remember the most.

Great Texas course

We have played this course several times. It is in very good shape for the time of year. Challenging course, with lots of water. You need to take a cart, there are some long distances between some holes. You need to be able to hit the ball straight, with the correct distances, or you will be in trouble. Course was cart path only due to recent rains. Pace was slow for the first 9, with a 4-some that was very slow ahead of us that wouldn't let anyone play through. Lunch at the restaurant at the turn was great. Staff friendly. Only issue was the bar closed at 3:00 PM on Thursday, meaning that we couldn't get a drink after we finished the round.

Good deal with a catch

The hot deal tee time has a catch that you don't realize until you start. There is a group of members that go off immediately before, so if you don't have a foursome, you will be waiting. Good course in great condition, but be aware and patient.

Love this course

The course is not a cookie cutter course. Each hole has its own character and challenges. The greens are small and hold the ball well. The course is very pleasing to the eye. The sand traps are well maintained and the greens are in very good shape.

Lake area golf

First time playing this course. Friendly staff, carts and course in very good condition. Course layout some what strange. Going from #9 to # 10 requires the map if you are not familiar with the course. First time I have played a par 3 teeing off on one side of the lake channel to the green on the other side of the lake channel. Then having to drive around to the other side of the channel across the bridge. Interesting!

You can't beat the price.

Routing

The routing was a bit odd, but the course is very challenging off the tee and a great wolf game course. Drink prices are a little much but had a great time for the first time playing it.

I really like the layout

The course has an excellent layout and is pleasing to the eye. A lot of trees, deer and beautiful homes. The greens were sanded but still rolled well and held shots well. Definitely on my top places to play in East Texas
