Iron Horse Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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 staff, good location in the Ft. Worth area, well maintained
Nice course with some challenging holes. Great lay-out.
Better days are ahead
I like playing this course. I look forward to playing the course when all the road and on course bathroom construction are finished.
The course is in good condition.
I was surprised that the greens were in such good condition. The course was a pleasant surprise.
Iron Horse = Irons off most tees
The course is in pretty good shape considering it's been pretty dry and there is a TON of road construction going on nearby. It had been awhile since I last played this track -- and I remember why... It's a good spot-to-spot golf course, but not much in the way of a driver off the tee track. If you can hit it 180-220 with an iron, you'll enjoy this course...but if you are looking for a course where you can drive the ball off most tees, go somewhere else.
With other courses nearby offering better layouts for the same (or less), I'll skip this course. That said, it's not a bad course and definitely makes good use of the area it is on...just wish it was longer.
I had fun playing the course
It had been a long while since I had played Iron Horse, and the last time I played it, it was not in very good shape. This time was a much different story: The course was in very good condition even with the construction going on along 820.
Iron horse what a course
I love this course close to house always in great condition . Greens where great even after the ice and snow and couldn't beat the deal I got on golf now only 10bucks. Very friendly staff play time was 3 hours 30 minutes. Great day of golf.thank you!
