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 Course!

Despite the poor weather conditions, I had a fun time on this well designed course! Staff was friendly, course was in fairly good shape and greens rolled well. I hate to be above the hole on some of the greens when they are running really fast, especially 7 and 10 . I will definitely try to play it again the next time I am in town.

Bang for your buck

Awesome course for the price and the conditions was excellent. The layouts was wonderful for any tenure golfers like myself.. Not a beginners course .. But it's worth the ride if you're and out of towner play for the first time also..

wow!!

just now writing this as i just played it last week. SO far as of March 2014, it is by far the nicest and most well kept course in DFW (besides Texas Star)….lush green fairways, nice (getting better) greens, excellent range, and good/friendly staff. If you can score a deal on GN, then its a must. Leave your driver at home as this course will test your will for pin point shots.

Great course for the $

The condition and play of this course is well average in this price range. Fairways and greens are coming in nicely and looking very green. Some tee boxes are uneven and need work but overall pretty good.
No food at the turn during weekday but cart gal was very accommodating.
New GPS carts are nice, but have the annoying reverse-in-your-tracks feature if you venture off approved cart area. Carts also have automatic governor the slow it to a crawl in several sections of the cart-path.

staff attention to player

The young man who checked me in was courteous and advised me i would be called prior to my tee time. However, when the time arrived i had to go back into the clubhouse to check if i could proceed to the first tee. He claimed that he had announced my name, but that was a lie as i wasn't more than 75 feet from the clubhouse and no announcement had been made. He should have owned it and acted more of a professional.

Beautiful course but a beast!

Amazing course in great shape. They overseed so that the fairways and greens are still green in winter. The course is very challenging. One of the hardest I have played. I usually shoot in the 90's and hit a 105 yesterday while probably shooting the best I ever have. Over all I recommend it but be prepared for a difficult course.

Nice Public Course

Iron Horse is probably one of the best public courses I've played.
The price is good, but the problem is the pace is too slow.
I will continue to play the course.

Challenging golf

If you want to use just about every club in the bag, and enjoy a challenge, this is your course. Very few holes to grip it and rip it. Lots of doglegs and water. Fairways, bunkers, and greens in good shape...especially for this time of year. However, for the price, you would think some free range balls wouldn't hurt, but it won't kill your wallet to play here.

This course is in the middle of a busy area but you would never know it as it is set into a nice wooded area.

When I searched the Golfnow.com website I was extremely pleased to find such a great course at such a great price that fit perfectly into my schedule.

The course is a good test for all levels of golfers and was a great test for me as well playing from the forward tees. The course will force you to make good decisions or pay the price with a lost ball or a ball in the hazard.

The course condition was very pristine, as it was overseeded and very green. The greens were receptive to good shots and rolled beautifully.

Thanks Dickie Overstreet

Great Course

Was the first one out on the course, playing by myself. Breezed through the course in under 3 hours. Rental clubs were in good condition (loved the Rocketballz 3 hybrid!). Staff was extremely friendly, course was in great condition and posed a decent challenge for a first time player. Greens were firm, rolled excellent and even had some subtle grain which gave added difficulty to holing those putts, from 10 feet and in, you would typically be accustomed to making regularly. Loved the GPS in the carts, but did not care for the spots of white foam that littered the fairway. It was an unfortunate byproduct of spraying chemicals, which made finding my drives, even those dead center of the fairway, an unnecessary challenge. Overall, 4.5 out of 5. Absolutely lived up to its reputation, and I would certainly play again. I, also, appreciated the pink cups and flags, adorned with ribbons, in honor of breast cancer awareness month. Thought that was a very nice touch to an excellent, early morning round of golf.

not bad

Greens were nice and fast. Pace of play for a Friday was terrible. If we were able to finish 18 holes which we didn't because it got dark, it would have been close to 6 hrs. The course overall shape though was nice and challenging. Id say 8/10
