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.

Poor fairwayy

I love iron horse but this weekend was brutal! Great greens but quite a few fairways were completely barren and covered in dirt patches with no grass.

Sloe play, they should do someting. Beginners olaying from black tees and wandering golfers without clubs in hand. A few active marshals coukd make it a better experience.

Course is so close to fantastic

I’ve played this course twice in the past year and 13/14 of the holes are immaculate, with beautiful greens and well maintained fairways. Unfortunately, there are 4/5 holes on the back nine that are very poor and do challenge whether or not the fee being charged is appropriate. One hole was moved from a par 4 to a 110 yard par 3 while they relay the fairway, which is the start of a series of holes with bare fairways. The other 14 holes are so nice that it almost offsets but the price remains steep for current conditions.

Work in Progress

Be prepared for a course that is in a major renovation mode. The back nine is in especially rough shape specifically in the fairways. Unless you can get it under $50 there are much better values. They are trying and everyone is nice but it's going to take time and $ for it to get in decent shape.

Overall fun course. A couple holes seem like clones, but good scoring course.

Average golfers should play Red or White(there’s 5-6 different tees), while single digit handicappers will have fun on Blue/Green. Scratched golfers go black.

Overall staff is great, drink cart is always on the move, you’ll have 4-5 chances every round.

Green in good shape, a little fast—and although there’s some areas of ground under repair—use that to your advantage.

A few holes with GREAT opportunities for eagles(drivable Par 4, and definitely reachable in 2 Par 5’s.

They rarely have hot deals—but if you can find a TEe Gime for ~$40-$45, consider it a good deal.

Great tourney’s. For a “Muni”—this course plays more like a Semi-Private. Definitely one of my top 3 in Fort Worth area! It’s probably 1 of the 2 courses I play weekly.

Goat track

Course needs lots of maintenance and upkeep. There are bald patches on every fairway and green. The rough is unkept and not maintained. The pace of play is easily a 5 hr round.

Good thing it is cheep

at 8pm when it was not even close to dark they pulled all the pins. we had to play the last 5 holes with no pins on the greens. they guy told me to use my gps on the carts to know the placement and distance. Not great. He could have used his time instead to clean the 100 carts that were backed up at the drop off instead of pulling all the pins while plenty of people were still playing. I guess that is was you get for a low budget course.

Average but not as good as in the past

It’s been a while since I have played this course, and unfortunately the conditions have not improved. Many fairways had lots of bare spots. Greens were in good condition though. Pace of play was a big issue. Not sure why they had a fivesome start in the middle of the afternoon….we were waiting about 75-80% of every shot. Hopefully with time they will be able to get the fairways in much better shape.

Bad timing with aerated greens

Overall the course was in pretty good shape except that the greens had recently been aerated which made putting a challenge.

Fairways need work.

Not fun when you hit the fairway and your ball bounces like it hit the cart path.

Great Course and Great Location

Played this one for the first time today. I was really impressed with the condition of the course. The layout is a little jumbled and fairways run pretty close together but the greens are in great shape and rolling way fast than what I’m used to. You can tell they aerified earlier in the season than most of the other places I’ve been. Only played the front 9 before the storms moved in and rain got heavier but I can’t wait to go back and play the back half.
