Pecan Hollow Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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 course. Greens are a +. Driving range and practice facilities good.
Greens always consistent and one of the reasons to come back. However, a few greens, like hole 2 need repair. Especially like the par 5' s. Putting greens need more holes.
Great considering the rain
Course dried out well considering the rain the day before, which is usually not the case. Greens are in great condition as is most of the course.
Fair
Not in great shape. Greens used to be perfect, not so much anymore. Winter storms seem to have hit this place hard. A lot of dead spots everywhere. Fine to play once a year or so. Nothing memorable.
Not great
Some creature is eating away at some of the greens. The greens that were playable were great. Fairs were the worst I’ve ever played on. Don’t let the grass on them fool you. They are hard as a rock. They knocked the club out of my hands a couple of times
Great Course
Had a great time. It was a little crowded. We waited to tee off every time, but it was still a nice day!
No Drainage or Cart Staff
We’ve had some rain the last two months but it had not rained in 5 days. Some holes were unplayable due to amount of standing water and mud. No modern drainage on this older course. No cart staff anywhere and it was the hottest day of the year. On course water coolers did not have cold water, honestly, it may have been leftover from day before.
Too wet to play
I believe this course should have been closed because it was way too wet for play. Very disappointing.
Pace
Pace of play is bad. They have no Marshall’s to curb this, it might help.
Course in good shape, need something done about pace of play
Twilight Round
Tee time set for 5:30 but we were able to tee off about 15 mins early. Course was in good overall condition. Our group of 4 had a great time trying to beat the sunset. We got 14 of the 18 in before it was too dark to see the balls. Will play again if in the area. Great value for twilight.
Better than most in town
Greens had some bare spots, but better than most courses in town right now. Faitways and tees in good shape. Bunkers get neglected by players on this muni. Nice selection of holes. Quick greens. Pace was good despite course being full. Definitely a good value.
The non-stop rain has left its mark!
Like most courses in the area, PH is suffering from wet weather and limited sunshine.. About 70% of the greens were better than average for the area.
On this day, lift, clean and place made it enjoyable.
Good greens, fun layout, a little dry
I played Friday evening the 14th, and again Saturday morning. We played from the tips and were never really challenged on distance, but fairways are definitely a must to score well with tree lined fairways. The greens rolled really well. Pace of play is always my complaint these days with so many slow players. Friday evening it was horrible… we left after 16 holes as we would have been 5 hours. Saturday we were the fourth group to tee off and it took four hours. I was a bit surprised the course was fairly dry considering all the rain we’ve had. I imagine it’s pretty rough come summer. The cart girls were friendly and I think they came to us 3 times per round.. not bad. Overall I had a good time and would recommend the course to others, particularly right now wtih all the rain we’ve had and with the greens rolling so nice.
Pecan Hollow
If your looking for a great price and a fair challenge, its not a bad track. Fairways were damaged from the freeze and green wee a little rough!
Good layout!
