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.

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!

Terrible

No announcement of closed holes on this app or City website. Only 7-12 and 18 open for play. Some of the worst conditions I've ever played on. Construction workers were everywhere, someone is going to get hit by a ball and it won't be good. Close the course, but keep the driving range and putting green open, it will be better for everyone. Take that down time to rehab the carts as well.

Front 9 Closed for at least 6 months

This ones on Golf Advisor. I actually didn't play this course after finding out the front nine is closed. No where did Golf Advisor mention this. Would think that would be important to know.

Bad course

The course is under construction and isn’t worth playing. It was a $20 round of golf and it was over priced. Course sucked, carts are terrible.

HORRIBLE

Holes 1-6 were under repair so they couldn't be played. Golf Now should REQUIRE courses to state this on the app prior to consumers paying for tee times. There was a drizzle last night, but there was standing water in some fairways and plenty of mud! The cart would not travel off of the cart path before stopping. I would have had a better time walking! It took me almost 3 hours to get through 12 holes as a single. Truly a waste of time!!!

Labor day

Do not plan to play till at least labor day. 6 holes entirely shut down till then. Restaurant and bar shuts down before 5pm. Other 12 holes appear to be neglected. No water in all ball and club washer. Pro shop did not infirm us of cart path only. Did not receive warning on cart till it was to late. Practically needed AAA assistance. Never seen this so NEGLECTED.

Great course, definitely worth checking out

Very fun course to play with a good mix easy and difficult holes. Will definitely challenge you if you have not played the course before, especially holes 7 and 10.

People seem to be negative about hole 3 being closed and 4 being a par 3 but fail to realize that it is the winter time and this is definitely the best time to be remodeling. This is not summer golf, of course it is not perfect. With that being said though the rates are definitely discounted to make up for that. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t

Very lacking.

When I first arrived I am informed there are no range balls available at the moment and there are no carts available either. We are able to finally get to the 1st tee 10 minutes after our tee time was scheduled. The starter then informs us that hole 3 is off limits and hole 4 which is a par 5 is now a par 3. The tee box was set in the fairway halfway down the hole. This was not disclosed when scheduling the tee time. I like the course but I won't be back.

Awful!

Course is in terrible shape! We were about to tee off on #1 when another player told us that holes 3-5 were closed for repair. I wish the app or the pro shop personnel had told us ahead of time. Everywhere the course was dry, rutted and full of bare areas and potholes. Don’t waste your time or treasure here!

temporary closed 3 thru 5 holes

I wish I knew there is construction going on 3 holes to 5th holes. We couldn't play these holes. The club house did not even told me about it. .
