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 value

This is a well kept course that happens to be very affordable. I’ve played more expensive places that aren’t in as good a shape.

No Staff riding around to keep pace of play moving!

Over 2 1/2 hours on front nine today! Decided to go in and have a beer and burger. Great food! Don’t know when I will return with course playing so slow in the middle of the week.

Nearly a 5 hour round

Let’s start with the good, there was water on almost every other hole and it was cold, which is important on a hot day. The course and range were in great shape, even the bunkers.

I’ve played this course quite a few times over the years and I’ve always though it has presented tremendous value but today was ridiculous. Nearly a 5 hour round… come on. You’ve got a starter that is sitting in the shade all day making sure no one is stealing from the course. No Marshall? Didn’t stack the course well. A 4 hour round on a weekend should not be a unicorn and it is not acceptable for it to take longer than that. Make people skip holes, speed up, create some urgency. I’ll be back…. But not for a long time.

Great public course

Only got to play the front 9 due to rain but overall a great experience and I’ll definitely be going back to finish on my rain check. Staff was great and friendly! As for the course conditions, the were overall pretty darn good considering the amount of traffic this course gets. The course was packed today and the pace of play was much quicker than I’d anticipated. The fairways and tee boxes were well maintained other than a small few dry spots which is hard to maintain in 100 degree days every day. The greens looked great besides a few small patches of sand but the were rolling great and much faster than I’d originally imagined they would. The course itself is relatively straight with some bunkers guarding the greens and water on a few but I definitely won’t take away from the course for that. It played great and I’ll definitely be back.

Broke 80 !!!!

Last weeks late evening game was pretty horrible because of slow play.. This morning all the gentlemen were out and we got asked if we would like to play through with out having to ask. Senior golfers are just great to be around.

All the greens have been sanded this week but the greens still ran true. Maintenance folks at Pecan are the best. Glad to see they are addressing some of the large patches of damage done to the greens.
