About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Winter conditions
Course still getting groomed for the prime playing season. Greens were brutally tough.. need rolled bad!! Restaurant and bar were both closed :((
Pinnicle Course
It was a beautiful day, just wish I could have played as good as the weather.
The course is in great shape for winter conditions with plenty of good thick dormant grass to play from. There are a lot of trees and some pretty challenging shots to be had, but it's fair, non the less.
I would recommend this course to anybody in the low to mid handicap range.
peaceful and fun to play
fun course but tight. demands accuracy above length off tee. nice looking holes.
Really good staff and fun course
Take your buddies and play. Lots of trees and good times.
Pretty fun course but it needs some attention, and a marshall.
Let me start out by stating that the day we played, was just too hot for golf. My oldest son decided he wanted to tee of in the early afternoon. What a mistake! While this was not the golf courses fault, we only saw the cart girl once on a 104 degree afternoon. The older gentleman at the front desk was kind of rude when we first checked in and very short with every sentence. Ok, I can live with that. I used to play here all the time when I lived in the area and it was one of the nicer courses in the area. Now the greens are dying (could be the heat but this is Texas so they should know what to expect). the wooded areas are so thick with stuff on the ground that walking through them is a nightmare, much less finding a ball, and NONE of their carts would hold a bag on it to save their lives. I changed carts twice and so did my son and we lost our bags off of them at least 7 times. Now, I not once saw a marshall and while I am not going to complain about a group in front being slow, I am going to complain about local residents "sneaking onto the course" to play a few holes. We had at least 5 private carts do this and say that they were doing so. Not to mention the kids playing a baseball game on the fairway on the back nine. I would say that for the value, it is ok since we caught a twilight price. If it were an early morning prie, I would rate this much worse value. A little more upkeep, customer service, and monitoring of the course would take this back to a beautiful hidden gem. Until then, I am not sure I will drive another hour and a half one way to play this course.
Good value and fun funky course
Clourse conditioning needs lots of attention but overall was fun course to play
Stellar East Texas facility!
From the very courteous and knowledgeable pro in the shop to the challenging and pristine course conditions our golf outing at Pinnacle was stellar! We will be back!
Well Designed, Tight Course, Fun to Play
This is a fun course to play, different from a typical layout. On many of the holes, the risk/reward of using driver off the tee is a decision to make. If you are used to playing wide open courses where you can swing away and turn off your brain, this isn't it. This is a shot maker's course.
great condition
What a beautiful course. Very well maintained and challenging greens! Paid 9.99 for 18 holes on a great course. Cant beat that.
Tight golf course
This course is a challenge. The fairways are tight, with tall trees on both sides of the fairway, making it difficult to play if you have a natural draw or fade. IT is a pretty course on the lake with deer, rabbits, and birds everywhere. The greens are in okay shape, and they putt well. IF you are going to hit your driver here, you better hit it straight, or you are gonna have a bad time. I usually shoot about an 85-90 here. On a good day....Everywhere else I am usually 79-84.
Tough but fair. Very tight off the tees.
The course is in good shape with only exceptions being 3 fairways that have been overseeded and were cart path only. Tight fairways and tilted greens make driving and putting challenging. Overall it is a lot of fun and i recommend playing.
Course needs a lot of work
This was probably one of the worst golf courses I've ever played. The fairways were not cut so the ball would not roll even if you striped it down the middle hitting the sweet spot. The greens were not close to being true making a four foot putt a major challenge. The layout was fine but it's as though those managing the course down own a lawnmower or hoses. There were big patches of sand in the middle of some of the fairways. It was awful!
Nice couse, great staff.
Greens had been aerated 12 days prior to our play, very slow. Due to water restrictions during 2012 drought, some of the fairways are still trying to recover. We were told, that they were drilling 4 more wells, so they would have enough water, if restrictions were still in place. Staff was super cordial.
Very tight fairways. Great challenge. Not brutally long.
Very challenging driving course. Great layout. Always fun to play as not brutally long. 6600 yds from back tees.
Good value
Coming out of the winter, the course was in ok shape. The greens were hard and fast, but rolled pretty good. There was one green (16 or 17?) that looked like it had been lost and they sanded it pretty good. Other than that, the others weren't bad. Not a tough course, put the ball in play and you have a shot on most any hole. Fairways were a little rough, but I think with some TLC, it's not hard to see this cours as a good one. We played for $17, so it was definitely worth it. I would rate it 2.5 stars if I could, but I would go and play it again.
Overall the course was in great shape, and the staff was very friendly..
Overall the course was in great shape. There were a few greens that were patchy, but not enough to damper the round.
Tight Course - Fun to Play
I've played Pinnacle probably 7 times (or more) this winter and always enjoy it. That's why I keep going back.
During the weekdays - not much presure and you can play as fast as you want to.
The whole North Texas Area Needs Rain - this will help all the area Golf Courses. All the area fairways are thin (including Pinnacle). Greens are starting to come out nice. 16 thru 18 greens has some Poa Annua but hopefully will die soon in the heat (or maybe they will get sprayed).
Tight Fun Course - in pretty good shape and not too expensive.
Good, solid course
This course was a lot of fun, but relatively challenging. There are scoring possibilities if you keep the ball in the fairway, but stray much and trees really come into play. Lots of water and sand as well, which makes for an overall challenging and fun round. I'll be back.
Decent for $24, not worth an hour drive though
The course isn't in the best shape. A lot of this probably has to do with it being winter. The teeboxes are in very bad shape. Fairways are decent at best, and greens are decent.
