Length 7026 yards
Slope 129
Rating 73.5

One of the first courses in the growing 1970s Plano community, Pecan Hollow started out as the Plano Municipal Golf Course. Don January and Billy Martindale, who had recently completed their signature Royal Oaks in Dallas, contracted with the city to help provide golf for Plano’s growing population.

The terrain here is flat, and the fairways are mostly wide open. January used the standard bunkers, water hazards, and trees in his design to cause problems for the golfer. The greens are of medium size and speed, and the course is basically pretty standard until you reach the punishing final stretch of holes. Nos. 16-18 are all 445-yard-plus par 4s with water in play–one of the toughest tests of golf in the DFW area.

Getting there : From I-75 north, take Plano Parkway east, then exit at 14th St. Turn right, drive a short distance to the course, and look for the entrance on the left side of the street.

Decent course

The staff member at the pro shop was not happy to be there it seemed, maybe said 2 word to me the entire time. The starter was pleasant and friendly. I was pleased with the tee boxes and fair ways, but the greens need to be maintained. They have so many dark spots in them. The ball bounces all around when putting. Definitely thing too improve at the course because some of the wholes are very nicely designed.

Everyday is Saturday

My buddy and I live in N FtW and like to play a variety of course. Typically, in Tarrant Co.

A guy where my friend works recommended Pecan and said the greens were great! We went ahead and booked a tee time and was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable fee (plus). Had rain the night before our tee time so it was Cart path only! But it didn't really slow our pace which was about 4:15 mins (plus). The layout was really fun and forces you to his the ball both ways off the tee. Greens were really nice and rolled true even with some of the POA. Great value and a really good course!

Playable

Average condition. Starting to have some weed problems on the greens. If something isn’t done soon they are going to have a big problem. Worth the $32 price tag, but nothing stellar.

Nice layout...wide open

1st time playing...good layout...room for errors. Paired up with local and that helped

I would play it again when in plano area.

Greens were rolling good and it was a busy day and the pace was still good.

played in gail force winds

Could not keep my hat on. Watched 2 trees get blown down. Still had a blast and managed to pick clubs well and play ok. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens had some Poa, but you could see the grass was coming in thick and even.....will transition the Poa out.

Great course

This time of year the grass is dormant so it’s hard to get a real feel of what the course is and looks in its prime. But I still enjoyed the grounds and there were still soft fairways for not being green. Course layout on the front was great. Only played through 12 due to slow play build up but it was still on pace to be in regulation. Not sure if the greens are always fast but those things went real quick. I liked but couldn’t get it down to the correct speed. Next time!
