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.

Pecan Hollow

Pecan Hollow definitely was in great shape from when I visited, especially several months post snow storm and in the middle of spring. Greens could have been a little more green and would have been nice if pro shop sold cigars.

Course conditions are very poor!

The tee boxes and greens were in bad shape. The fairways were in decent shape. The pace of play was slow. I used to play here often a few years back and going back for this round definitely showed how far this course has fallen! I won’t be going back anytime soon.

Fun Course

First time playing the course. There was a huge storm the evening before. They started us at the 10 tee. Our 8:20 start was slightly delayed which was fine by us as they were clearing the course on the front 9. Guys did a great job. Staff was friendly. Will be back.

Slow Slow Slow..5 Hrs

Well tee time on Sunday at 10:00... already 30 min behind. Starter has no clue what he is doing. Also, they turn away singles on the weekend, so if you golf alone (I do 50% of the time) no room for you here. Cart girl was nice, only thing to cheer up the 5 hr round.

Pace of Play

Worst pace of play I have ever experienced on a golf course. Love the course but there were 4 groups on each hole at a time, so it ruined the overall experience

Slow play

Two groups in front were slowest i have ever seen in 35 years of playing. Two-some had nowhere to go but to nap between holes. Awful! 5 hours and 15 mins.

Tee boxes lost

With the exception of grass loss on tee boxes and a few areas of the course Pecan Hollow is always in good shape; greens are in great shape and the layout is competitive
