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.

Fun and challenging golf course

The course was set up with challenging pin locations. Also many holes can’t use

Driver due to tight dog legs. Fun to play, great value. Only gripe is some of the greens were rough on the back nine, but we did have a very enjoyable experience overall.

Fun Coure

Not a bad course. Better than your average muni after the redo. Pace of play was excellent for a Friday afternoon, out in 1:45, back in 2 hours. Greens are a bit slow and bumpy but it's a muni that sees a lot of play. Nine doesn't return to the clubhouse, the mobile hot dog stand is a solid touch. Cart girls running the course at 7:15 PM was pretty strong too. Might have given it 4 stars were it not for the greens, but it wasn't horrible. $26 Hot Deal minus a $10 tee time credit made for a great deal.

Aerated Fairways

Wish I could have known that the fairways had been aerated prior to booking the round. Brought in a friend from out of state and built up the golf courses' improvement since the rebuild. Just made it miserable to play in the heat of the day and not allow carts on the fairways. Now I understand if they were soaking wet fine. But at 4pm in the Texas sun, they were dry and carts should have been allowed. The GPS control of the carts is way too restrictive. Slowing the carts down on long stretches between holes is ridiculous. Some holes that run parallel, the carts are restricted even when you attempt to use the cart path for an errant shot into another fairway.

Over booked

This course had atleast 45min waits almost to play 1 hole it took me almost 3 hours to play 9 holes. I got paired with people when I chose an afternoon tee time so I could play a chill solo game but they had overbooked each tee time so bad that even the people I had gotten paired with complained and said was common.

Too pricey for aerated fairways and cart path only on several holes. Should be discounted during these conditions.

August Iron Horse

Greens were recently aerated. It was necessary, they still played good. Tee boxes, PLEASE water them in the afternoon or add more sand. It is almost impossible to tee up the ball without a hammer.

This course has been one of my favorites

I used to love this course - and in a way, I still do. The course marshals are extremely distracting. Before they try to rush you along, they should check conditions ahead first. We were rushed three times and each time, we were met by 2 groups of 4 waiting on another group causing us to have to wait for 20-30 minutes each time. They are retired guys who are extremely rude and act like they own the world. I pay my hard earned money to play there and they need to recognize that fact. They are distracting and this distraction affects your game in a lot of ways in terms of concentration. They need to be better trained in their responsibilities and how they interact with the public.

Nice Course. Rounds Take Forever

My first time playing here since the upgrade. Nice course and good conditions. Our round was close to 5 1/2 hours. This apparently is the norm on a weekend. Staff is nice and it's a fun layout. Waiting 10 minutes for every shot isn't fun. Don't think I'll return.

Good Course - Slow Play

Well maintained muni; tee boxes were level, fairways were full, greens were well maintained, bunkers had plenty of sand. But it is a muni - bad golfers who have no concept of pace of play. Cardinal rule of “You can be bad but you can’t be slow” needs to be emphasized and enforced.

Good Shape, not great

Some of the fairways are under repair. Not bad enough to really hurt having a good round. But enough to only give 4 stars instead of five overalls. Biggest pain in the backside are the golf carts and the OVER-RESTRICTIVE GPS controls! One of the ways to cool off in Texas is driving the cart between tee boxes with distance is at full speed. WAY TOO MUCH governing on their carts now. OK to restrict getting too close to the greens, but they have some par 4 holes with wide fairways as cart path only? Please loosen up the controls!

Good course, don’t play on the weekend

This course is fun and in good condition, however they always seem over booked and pace of play is at a snails pace. If you want to enjoy a round here you should try and play on a weekday. You’ll also save $20-$30.
