About
Iron Horse Golf Course is laid out in the floodplain of Fossil Creek, an area loaded with woods and a railroad that divides the property into three tracts. When Dick Phelps designed the golf course he loaded it with par 4s that are over 400 yards. This track has only two par 5s, but you'll get your money's worth as they are virtually impossible to reach in two. Iron Horse's best hole is the 462-yard, par-4 third hole, which is generally a bogey hole for the average golfer.

That dirt is stretching all through the fairways. Trust me. It was “made to be like that.” Almost ever other fairway had this or gravel. Photo submitted by u000007236592 on 08/02/2026

Lots of ground under repair on every fairway. This was one of the better ones. Photo submitted by Ken9948006 on 03/27/2023

Golfer Reviews
A bit disappointing…
Had seen Iron Horse from 820 for years. Didn’t live up to the looks from the road. Greens were the best part. Fairways were rocky in places, sand in other areas (not sand traps), Layout of holes is fair at best. I was paired with someone who knew or else it would have been difficult. Had higher hopes than were fulfilled… bummer.
Greens are in great shape!
Greens were excellent. Unfortunately, there’s lots of of dirt patches and washout everywhere on the course
But I would definitely recommend overall.
Need marshals for pace of play
Course is getting into shape. I know it was a Sunday afternoon, but from #7 on it played really slow. Marshals probably would have helped Otherwise, still fun to play here
Winter/Spring conditions
On the positive, the staff all over the course were excellent and friendly, including the marshal, and the hot dog lady. Btw, the hot dogs were also excellent. The GPS in the cart was a nice touch and helpful both my son and I. The greens were in good condition. The tee boxes were decent condition, but desperately need a tidying. Broken tees everywhere, on every tee box. We golfed in the morning, so these were tees that have been there for most of the winter. I recommend garbage cans on each tee box, and possibly a broken tee box next to the tee markers. Might also want to have a divot repair bucket on the Par 3's tee boxes. The fairways were very rough, lots of winter damage, ground under repair, weeds, pot marks, broken branches, etc. Also, I enjoyed the streams and creeks running through the course, however, those areas also need a serious garbage clean up. Lots of the natural areas are being ruined with garbage. It's a visual mess.
Good course
Great course! Fairways and greens are good for this time of the year. Plays tight but had a lot of fun. Be sure to get an early tee time. Took 4 1/2 hours to play
Nice course
Great course! One of my favorite courses in the NFW area.
Iron horse
This course hasn’t always been in great shape this early, but today it was and I was very pleased with the course. Greens were amazing. I know they had a little redo and not sure exactly what they did, but it is great
Nothing special
Greens were very nice.
Sand traps were very nice aswell.
Tee boxes were good.
Fairways were nice..but bare and spoty at places.
Layout....nothing they can do to improve but i was not a fan of it.
Excellent course Great condition given its February
I was amazed at how good the greens and Tee Boxes were. Great Value
Fairways
Are in horrible condition. Better off on the rough.. For 80 dollars I expect much better conditions.
Paid $83.00, wonder what the price will ve with grass?
We like Iron Horse, nice course, great staff, but for $80 would be nice to have grass to play from. Greens are ok, but won't play there again for a while at this price/value. Not worth it.
