Iron Horse Golf Course

My husband and I have played here before and love the course so booked a foursome with our son and daughter-in-law. Even though the weather was so cold, we played and had a blast. Such welcoming and friendly staff and the course and greens were awesome!!

course was in very good shape

greens were not as fast as they are at times

I'm always amazed at how well the staff handles busy days at this course. Two outings and then regular t times. They always seem to pull it off smoothly with out any inconvenience to their customers. Top notch management and top notch service at a great course to play!!

Played on Monday afternoon. Pace was really slow, however I appreciate the marshal offer to let us skip over the slow groups and move up a few holes. Didn't do it though- wanted to play every hole. Staff is always really polite. Course is in pretty good shape for this time of year. Some bare rocky patches if you get a little off the fairway- had to kick it around a bit so that I didn't scratch my clubs to bad. For sure I'll play there again soon.

No issues. Good pace, well laid out with fairly long holes. Worth doing again.

Cart path only along with 5 somes allowed means long 5 hour rounds. Golfers looking for a quick 9 holes...Stay away.

I have played at Iron Horse for over 25 years. The course has improved over the years. The current pro is the best in the area. The staff is the friendliest in the area. I played after 8 days of rain which would have flooded the course in previous years but that has been corrected. The greens are perfect but challenging. The fairways are overseeded so it is fun to play on the green grass. Only criticism is some of the tee boxes need to be redone, especially 7, 14, 17. I use this course as a baseline on how I am playing.

Challenging and fun layout Greens and fairways in excellent condition. Proshop staff very friendly and helpful.

Vintage train cars along some greens/tee boxes add an interesting touch.

Greens good, fairways barren on a few holes in landing areas, tee boxes hacked up!

Could not have picked a more perfect January day to play golf. Played in 3.25 hours and the greens were in great shape for this time of year. Maybe to hard on the cours due to the rains, many bunkers were muddy and on 3 fairways, bare ground.

I hate seeing very short, lack of detail reviews so here is a reasonable review.

Played for a smoking hot deal of $15 and it was well worth it. Free range balls and a nice putting green. Think my biggest complaint is how horrible the tee boxes are. You can tell which ones they have taken the time to fix but there are some like number 13 (black tees) that literally have zero even ground. My front foot was sloped down, back foot was pointed up and I had to strike my ball at a very weird angle to avoid hitting the ground before the ball. To be fair, it was about half and half on good and bad tees. The good ones were very flat and nice for what the course is. It’s a public course situated with a lot of houses around it so for a decent amount of holes, expect the typical country club feel. Another thing is the pace of play was on the slower side. I played by myself until I was forced to join with 3 other guys because I had nowhere to go past them. For the last of the bad things, I was playing this immediately following a bad freeze/winter so the course wasn’t in peak shape which is understandable.

Now onto the goods. I absolutely hate showing up to a public course and going to putt, then basically having to hit driver for the ball to go anywhere. Then on top of that, you can’t aim because they dont even roll true. Iron horse was a welcome sight. The greens here were in really good shape for winter and especially a public course like this. The pro shop guy said they were rolling 14’s which is false (I play at trinity forest which are 14’s), but they were definitely around a 9 or 10. 90% of the time they rolled true which is extremely nice compared to other public courses. The pro shop guys, cart girls, and other staff all smiled and seemed like they were happy to help and be working there. The layout of the course was actually very nice and presented some solid strategic shot arrangement or you were in trouble. Course isn’t very long (I believe around 6400 yards from the tips) but I was able to pull out the driver on the par 5s which is nice.

Overall I would recommend this course in a heartbeat, and if there’s a hot deal, choose iron horse first.

I play Iron Horse often. Fairways were green and greens rolled true. This was especially nice given it’s January. The cart girls came around regularly and were friendly. Only critique is there was no marshal on the first tee which caused some bunching up. Great day!

First time playing course. Major mud everywhere. Many bunkers were flooded. It rained 2 days earlier but I believe they also watered which was definitely not needed. Cart path only, most of my shots on other side of fairways. Did plenty of walking. Saw cart girl several times. Greens were awesome, but very fast. Most downhill putts very tricky. I wish I knew they had several creeks behind the tree lines. Despite the mud I had a good time and will be back. GPS was fantastic !

I love this course and the staff as well. Play here often as live close, BUT I am writing to tell the management to pay attention. The greens remain superb, but the fringe around the greens for 3 feet was soaked and muddy-even maintenance tire tracks!. Land the ball short and plugs-land on the green and watch it roll of. Puddles of water everywhere, in the fairway, next to the greens, along the cart paths. Hit drive down the middle and plugged a few times-and it hasn't rained for 4 weeks! I realize watering, sodding, and repair is necessary, but the course was soaked from too much watering! Tee boxes must be addressed soonest as besides playing off a side hill lies 50% of the time, many are chewed up from no one sanding divots-players or maintenance. The sand traps are wet sand due to over watering and club skids through the wet sand when playing out of them. As an aside, cart paths have no shoulders as we know and parking brake on many carts shot...We need a little TLC for our NRH gem!!
