Type Public
Par 72
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.

Water

Really like playing this course, but the water on the course can’t be bone dry for the players teeing at 2pm in 90+ degree weather.

Bring your own water

Was 95 outside and none of the water jugs had any water in them. The beverage cart didn’t have water either. I called the pro shop and asked if they could come out with water since we had the 2pm tee time and first 2 water jugs we passed were empty. Nothing happened. Turns out someone changed the locks on the containers and they couldn’t replace the water. I’m extremely dehydrated the day after and have been trying to recover. This was a nightmare scenario. I brought a Stanley filled with water. I refilled on the turn. That was not enough.

Poor customer service

Course does not allow single player bookings.

I booked a twosome at 3pm for a 6:21 tee time. My partner was sick overnight and unable to make it.

Rather than provide me with a raincheck for the extra booking, they fell back on the 24 hour cancellation period requirement with GolfNow and kept the money, even though I booked it less than 24 hours in advance.

Nice money grab trick. They have lost this customer.

Perfect Pecan

Pecan Hollow was fantastic to play. The fairways are well maintained and the greens are in tremendous shape. The layout is fair and pleasing to the eye. The clubhouse staff is very friendly. The practice range is well maintained also. The beverage cart attendant did a great job coming around regularly. The ONLY issue-we teed off at 2:15 on Saturday afternoon and did not finish until 7:25 pm. A marshal to monitor pace of play would be helpful. We look forward to playing Pecan Hollow again soon!!

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.
