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.

Great Value Course

Short Course by yardage, the challenge is positioning the ball for the best chance at a birdie.

If you are long driver, like 4 handicap or better can really drive it 280+ then 3 wood and hybrid off the tee is a must, for the rest driver is fine :) just hit it straight!

Over-seeded fairways were great, GPS to green front and back was good, PIN was off a few times by as many as 5 yards which is enough for this 7 handicap to switch clubs, ended up using my range finder for pin distance and the green-view to make sure I didn't undershoot or overshoot the green

Iron Horse.

It was ok. They kind of rush you thru the course and make you pair up. I went out there with a beginner player and he felt super rushed and didn't get a chance to learn.

A challenging round of golf

If you want a real test of your golf skills, this is your course. The course was in very nice condition, especially given the time of year. Lots of doglegs, fast, tricky greens and where good shot making is at a premium. Got a good deal on golfnow and will definitely play here again.

You need to manage the players.

You need to manage the players.
At that time some ineffectual players played on the back tee and made games delayed.
Additionally, they hit the golf balls of more than two several times while next players were waiting.
However, fairways were in great shape and condition.

BE AWARE!

I play this course 2-3 times a month. The facilities are in good condition and the course is always well maintained. The staff, however, never seems to enjoy being there AND MY BIGGEST ISSUE is that they will PULL THE PINS on you with 45 minutes of daylight left. This has happened to me (and everyone else on the course) 3 out of the last 4 times I've played. I can understand pulling them at dusk but when the sun is still 45° from the horizon? So don't book a tee time after 1 pm (in the winter) and expect to have a target to shoot at on the last 2-3 holes.

What's the thought behind pulling the pins anyway?

Too expensive/bad service

I've played at iron horse 3 times now and every time the guy who works in the pro shop is a total jerk. No personality and makes no effort at all to be the slightest bit friendly or accommodating. The course of nice and fun but for 50$ it is not worth it. You can pay almost the same price and play at the beauitful Texas star and get free range balls. Iron horse is not worth the money

good course

Played this course Saturday and it was in great condition my complaint is on hole 14 the maintence guy takes the flag and tells us that they are closing early and if we have a problem with that take it up with his boss it was 415 and we had atleast another hour and a half before it gets dark so we talked to the manager and he said it was a misunderstanding that he told the guy just take the flags out which still baffles me why you take the flags out before everybody finishes I still like the course and will play again!

Good Morning Round

Tough, tight course. First tee time out and ranger was asking us to pick up the pace after the 2nd hole with no one behind us. He stayed on us throughout the round, yet we never had a single group wait on us. Just made the day feel rushed right from the start.

Iron Horse Rocks

We are fairly new to the game of golf but willing to try new courses and accept new challenges. Iron Horse rates at the top for us. The staff was very informative and friendly and encouraging. Although we could have been paired with two advanced players, the starter let us play as a twosome. The course is beautifully laid out, is in great condition and the greens, though challenging, were very true. We played in 4 hours, with only the last three holes showing a slight backup. This is a great value and I will play Iron Horse every chance I get. I encourage you to do the same.

Very Challenging

One of the golf course with lots of challenges. Par 70, nice and narrow fairway, nice lay out and good green conditions. The best part is the price that hard to find in DFW area with this kind of course. I will definitely play again.

Tough, tight course.

Course was fun, but extremely tight and the layout was a little odd. Rough was thick and challenging, and greens undulating. Tough course to play if your long ball isn't straight. Clubhouse guys were great and extremely accommodating. Carts were super nice.

Little bit of slow play but overall the course is in great condition. The greens were in good playable shape. I couldn't beat the price I paid for that course.
