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
Much Improved, Much Fun
First time playing since the renovation. The changes are good. Still a bit of a quirky layout, i.e. not my favorite. But it is fun and worth it if you can find a good price in GolfNow.
Nice after rains
Tee boxes finally softer! No need for a hammer today. A few holes on the back nine where it appears the grass washed away or some sort of issue happened. Not awful, looks like they are actively working on it. Worst part are the cart restrictions. Hole 15 is impossible to leave the cart path. No reason for the hole to be cart path only. It is a par 4. Only one side has a path, turn OFF the restrictions mode on the carts!
Strange Round
Top 3 worst golf outings in awhile. Courses Management really went downhill since parting from Arcis. First time I’ve ever played 18 holes without any flagsticks…when asked about flags, was told they wanted to go home early so they brought in everything…mid Labor Day weekend….
To add on top of that, was told by workers not to go in clubhouse after teeing off otherwise they wouldn’t let us play anymore…just very odd/underwhelming experience.
Hot day but broke 90
With temps around 104 it was brutal for an old man.
Course was in very good condition considering they have had little to no rain in over 2 months. Greens were in excellent shape.
A couple of tee boxes were hard making it difficult to get tee in ground.
Cart girl seemed to be more interested in whoever she was talking to on the phone. Did stop once, but passed us two previous times while chatting on the phone. Inside staff very friendly.
Course is a little pricey unless you get a hot deal.
Definitely will return.
Highlight of the day was breaking 90 for the first time on this course. 87 with no triples and no 3 putts.
Great Course
It was my first time playing at Iron Horse and I enjoyed it. The course is a good condition and the layout was fun and challenging. The GPS tracking carts that tell you you’re distance from the pin are nice as well.
Good Day at Iron Horse !
Nice Course !
Loved the buy a draft in cents for the score shot special.
I shot a 94. The Beer was then .94 cents.
The Greens and fairways were in great shape.
Must take a lot of water to keep them up in all the 100 degree heat. A very fun day on the course !
Iron Horse
First time playing the course and it was an average experience. The cart girl came out once during the round early on and we didn’t see here the rest of the time. After the 9th hole you drive right up to the 10th tee box and the clubhouse is out of the way to get a drink or a classic hot dog at the turn. Brutal layout and with it being so hot it was hard to enjoy the course. Hopefully there is some rain soon, this course needs some water in the fairways.
Too expensive for punched greens and slow play
Used to love this course. Since new management, prices high and conditions not good. Pro shop back to old men that have crappy attitudes.
Great condition for mid summer Texas golf
Had a 3:20 tee time, got there early as usual to use the range. Starter let us go off whenever we were finished as there weren’t many people out in the middle of the day. Course was in fantastic condition even considering we haven’t had rain in weeks. Greens were excellent. Definitely gonna be playing here more.
