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.

Fair

Greens were in good shape. Terrible fairways. Bunkers were pretty rough. Course was a bit tough to navigate. Cart seat was ripped up and had seen its better days. I wouldn't go out of my way to play this course again.

Good Condition

The course really bottle necks on the first 3-4 holes. Management needs to cut down a huge tree on the right for the #2 hole, which would speed up the play. Being a weekend, play took 5 hours, which way to long. Need to cut it down to 4 hours and have the marshals monitor the play.

Nice Course

Staff inside and cart girls were very friendly. Over 100 in the afternoon, and pace was very slow. Par 3's were backed up. Suspect one group of 5 was holding things up. Marshall were friendly, but must not have been keeping them moving. Greens and fairways were nice. Some holes had burned out areas with no grass. Overall nice course. Just keep pace of play moving.

Better value elsewhere

The greens are in great shape. Unfortunately, that is the only aspect of the course that is good at the moment. It is a challenge to find a flat lie off the tee, and if you do, there is a good chance you will hit out of sand. Holes that stood out were 5, 7, 8, 14, and 17. Most of the fairways were lift clean and replace due to the amount of standing water. A few of the fairways were just shredded. Holes that stood out were 3, 7, 9, 11, 12, and 15. Unfortunately it seems this course is taking a turn for the worse and not the better. I will probably find better value elsewhere.

Best course in dfw for the money

Awesome course, great layout. Pretty challenging, almost target golf, but there are some forgiving holes to make up for any mistakes on the tight fairways on the front nine. Great staff and they just started happy hour again. $3 beers after 3 o'clock, everyday. If you want food go with a hotdog. Greens are slightly fast but are soft and hold well. I'm a 7 handicap and play here at least once a week and would recommend this course to any golfer of any skill level.

course is maturing into one of the best

I got a great deal from Golfnow. Course was in very good shape. Greens rolled very good despite being punched & dressed a few weeks ago. The green superintendent & staff should be congratulated on a fine job keeping the course ready for play.

Top-notch greens

Course was in good shape despite recent heavy rains. The greens, in particular, were excellent. Truly the best greens I've seen this year, by far. Anyplace on the course that wasn't water-logged was in excellent condition.

Good course

It's a good course to play, but our tee time was at 11 and we started to play at 11:45. It rained in that morning, but for some reason they still booked each group 15 minutes parts. Knowing it would be car path only. So of course it was a slow day and took us almost 5 hours to finish. I still had a good time playing, but a little disappointed

Fun layout!

Fairways are pretty narrow and greens are smooth and quick so be ready! Set up is fun and challenging! It's designed for those who play fairways and greens so hit it straight or you're gonna have a bad day!
