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.

Good course to play!

The course conditions were very good. Nothing bad to say except one thing. My wife and I played. It was not clear which were the women's tees. She played the ones in front of the Ironhorse tees as the other ones were way too close. The ones she played were not comparable off the tee to a man's tee therefore the equality of the tee difference usually always gave me the advantage. The women's tee distance should be reevaluated.

Bad shape for the money

Greens were inconsistent, back 9 was completely re-seeded (cart path only, different type of grass in the fairways). 2 greens were under repair. Tee boxes on back 9 were torn up. Would not recommend for the price.

Course is looking goooood

Another fun round at IH. The course drained extremely well from the previous days rain. Cart gal came around several times. Practice facility and great shape and enjoying the new carts. 12-17 still cart path only due to new sod that’s greening up nicely. Tee boxes on 7&10 still need some work. Not enough sun maybe?

Solid track with minor issues

Since the renovation this is a solid course to put in your rotation if your in the Fort Worth area. Not sure what they did but the carts have been slowed down to a snails pace I guess to control pace of play but it was definitely an issue. Course is in good shape with exception to a couple tee boxes needing to be watered more. Once they let carts on 12-17 that should help pace quite a bit, had a twilight round that ran 4.5 hours so almost there.

Iron Horse is back!

Iron Horse is looking great after the recent renovations. Fairways are greening up and the new drainage the was put in place seems to be doing the job. Holes 12-17 are still cart path only, but it’s my understanding this restriction will be lifted in a couple weeks. Greens are better than ever. Running hard and fast. #7 tee box still needs a bit of work. Almost forgot to mention...brand new golf carts! Beverage cart came around 4-5 times. I think in a couple months it will be a 5 star. Looking forward to some scrambles and glow ball events. We will definitely be returning and adding this course to our rotation.

Awful

Terrible course. They let too many groups out too fast. Holes are confusing. It’s like they didn’t have enough room for a course, but stuck one there anyway.

Course under construction.

This is usually my favorite course. They are currently undergoing extensive overhaul. Only 6 holes available and one of those is a par 4 that’s shortened to a par 3.

We checked in and only realized this course was shortened after we got to the 6th hole. When we addressed this, the staff said “there were plenty of signs and a notification on the website. Perhaps a verbal briefing when we checked in and paid would’ve been useful. Certainly, if 3 of us missed the sign, a verbal warning would’ve helped.

There wasn’t a start Marshal nor a mobile beverage cart the day we played.

I’m sure it will be a wonderful course (again) when completed but be advised of the construction for now.

Disappointed and Frustrated

I had NO idea when I made this booking that Iron Horse Golf Course is under MAJOR construction! Only the first 6 holes are open for play and there is still construction issues and a temp green on hole 6, changing it from a Par 4 to a Par 3. Due to the course conditions, the carts had to remain on the path at all times as well. Had I known the conditions when I made the booking, I would have chosen a different course NOT under construction. A refund or credit sure would be nice!
