About

Holes 18
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.

Great bang for your buck

Great course, greens/tees/fairways all in good shape. Cart girl could’ve made more appearances and more options for drinks. Very forgiving course. Overall would recommend and definitely would play again

Definitely will not come back I’ll pay more to avoid the terrible pro shop selection and utterly rude employees. It could be a gem for the price but they made it trash.

Pro shop employee was incredibly rude (not sure if he was the pro or not) did not answer any of my questions and seemed bothered I was in there. Literally said 2 words and I was asking him about the course etc. just simple small talk for 2 min. Just rolled his eyes and said”I don’t know” asked him about balls they carried and didn’t look away from his screen and just pointed to the right without a word.

On that note They only carry Callaway balls and no top line balls at all. I asked him about this and if I was mistaken he said “Idk what does it look like we carry?”

After I pay (price was excellent btw) I go to get cart and they’re announcing me over the intercom to get to the tee box. Guy yells my name and says “Lets go! You will lose your time!” This is 10 min before my tee time and I was not the only group they did this too fyi.

I was not happy and my tee time is still 10 min out so what the is the hurry? Once I get to the first tee box it’s backed up with a group of 4 so was extremely rude and unnecessary.

My wife was waiting in line for drinks and rushed to the cart due to this so we had no beverages or water either. They then close down the inside at 5:30 when we tried to go back and my tee time was 5:12 mind you. This is insane and if there’s no other tee times by 5:30 why are they rushing people over the intercom?

Great condition

Only issue is they were cart path only for no apparent reason. Fairways we’re firm not wet or soggy. Plan to walk a lot or save money snd use a push cart.

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.
