About
Designed by Gary Baird in 1981, Eldorado is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of McKinney, featuring a creek and an irrigation lake in addition to a multitude of trees. The course is known for its extremely sloped greens, which are often covered by heavy bunkering.
On the front, No. 5 is the toughest hole, going 433 yards with out-of-bounds on the right and a pond in the fairway at 200 yards from the tee. The approach must carry the bunker fronting the green.
The back nine features two mean par 5s–Nos. 11 and 15. The 11th is a narrow dogleg with a small pond looming right of the green. No. 15 is under 500 yards but features the creek cutting the fairway and riding the right side of the hole.
Other notes: The clubhouse burned to the ground in November of 1996 and was replaced in 1998.
Getting there : From I-75 north, take the Eldorado Pkwy/Exit 39 and go west. When you come to Country Club Dr., turn right and look for the course on the left side of the street.

Good place
Have taken advantage of the “member for a day” option. Fun course. It’s tight but fair. Enjoy it.
Tight fairways
This course had a great layout and was able to incorporate some elevation to the flat layouts of Dallas. The fairways were very tight and Eldorado planted trees close on both sides. Don't end up in the rough or you'll be practicing your punch shots to stay under the tree line.
Tough but fun
Winter conditions were great. Greens rolled smoothly and the fairways weren't concrete like a lot of places this time of year. The layout was exciting and challenging, and I look forward to playing smarter next time. Staff and members were really friendly. Overall a great experience
Course was in good shape even after the large amount of rain. Staff very friendly but we say if the club is having any type of tournament planned they should not allow the public play and expect them to just let the groups play through. Our foursome played in under 4 hours and stayed ahead of the threesomes but were still asked to speed up. Understand the members have priority but not a good impression for the guys who had never been to the course before. Was a member in the past and the unfriendly treatment from the members was a primary reason I left.
Member For A Day
Eldorado had a special for non members to come out and play. The course was in prestige conditions. Greens were all consistent, bunkers sand was fresh and course lay out was extremely fun. Carts are top notch but no GPS. Staff was extremely courteous
Would love to play here again!
Beautiful Day
Excellent course condition for the Winter Season, fairways , greens and tee off in good condition, staff very friendly, golf carts clean and 100 % functional, highly recommend this course.
Eldorado Country Club
From start to finish this is a classically designed course focusing on bunkering and small greens. Narrow fairways and thick rough make this course a real challenge. Currently the course is in good shape. A fee greens have some repair needs, but nothing that would make you not enjoy your round.
