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.

Pecan Hollow A+++

Best Value for money in DFW. One of my favorites. Not the most difficult but still challenging. The cart girls have mediocre milkers. Coors light for the drinkers and Lemonade for the sobers! A+++

Great city owned course

We get to play out at Pecan Hollow at least once a month, sometimes twice a month. The course is always in great shape, the greens are always fabulous and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Never had a bad experience at Pecan Hollow.

Great Course for the Money!

I’ve never had a real complaint about Pecan Hollow in all my 20-some years of playing golf…even before the redesign.

My most recent round was pleasant, the course was in great shape and very playable. The layout can be challenging, but not overly so. I do wish that there was less spillover on the obligatory hole that runs next to the range, but overall, had a great time!

Slow, but nice layout and great value

First time playing this course and I generally liked it. Layout was better than expected, esp for the price. Pace was really slow. Will try to come back at a less popular time. I would actually kind of prefer they bump the price up a bit, space out the T-times a little,, and get a marshall. But, I would still recommend. (By the way, play a non-white ball on #1 and #9 because if you hit even a little right/left towards the range, it’ll be like trying to find the special Easter egg.)

Native Grass Areas Too Harsh

While I think it's great in theory to have lots of native grasses and flowers, it seems a bit unfair when balls that are only slightly off target end up rolling into these areas and are basically lost. "Rough" shouldn't mean "lost". These areas should be long and whispy/thin or shorter and thick, but where balls are findable.

Will be looking for something a bit more fair.

Too bad because the greens are great.

Course is in pretty good shape for this time of year. Greens are very consistent and speed is good. Course was pretty crowded but pace was ok. We did have several holes in front of us that were open. Waited almost every shot because of the group in front of us. A course Marshall would have been nice.

A great course in Dallas!

Pecan Hollow is an excellent course, a very nice place to spend a day golfing. The course is unpretentious, is a lovely place, and the layout is forgiving. The staff are all friendly and the greens fees and drinks/food are all a bargain, compared to most other courses. The course is well-maintained and the facilities are clean. This is my new local go-to course!

Always the best value.

I've been to PH probably five times, and it never disappoints. Very fun track, fast pace of play, great greens, friendly staff and great prices. Add it all up and I think it's the best golf value in DFW.
