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.

Golfer Reviews
Love the course
Love this course and love the team! Very lady friendly!
Beautiful condition, best around.
This course is in excellent shape almost always. It is still in great shape and in my mind the best course around. Greens don’t compare anywhere else.
Best course in this area
Pecan Hollow remains one of the best kept secrets in this area - Best Greens hands down - pro shop staff is perfect for this venue -
First time here, nice surprise
I came to Pecan Hollow because I realized it was the only public course in DFW that I had not played. How did I miss this one?
Great greens, perfect. Large, some undulation, and great rolls. Tee boxes and sand were pretty good too. Fairways had some wet, muddy, or bare spots because the course sits in a floodplain. Very straightforward course, you can see every shot you are supposed to hit, except #18. Some elevation change, but not much. A lot of fun, shotmaking holes, which I really like. Not really a bombers course.
A lot of construction going on in the creekbed was a bit of a distraction. All in all though, this was a fun course and I was mildly surprised at how good the greens were for a muni. I will definitely come back.
Regular Senior Player
This is my regular course when senior league plays, can't wait to get back and lower rates.
Today was rainy and cart path only but the rain stopped after 10 holes. The greens are always in great shape and my putter was hot.
Club house is closed, we ate lunch on the terrace and food excellent.
Staff is always friendly.
Outstanding course with some of the best greens in the area.
Rocking and Rolling Away
I like Pecan Hollow. Generally, I think it is over priced. It is a beautiful course. There is so much grass land, very pretty and lush; but it is the same as water if you go in it. You will not likely find your ball. So, beware of the grasses, just like it was water. The greens were hard as a rock and even the best of approach shots is going to roll off, or on the larger greens, roll as far away as possible. The greens were smooth and very fast. Except for the edges, the bunkers had very little sand in them. The really good thing for a duffer like me is that the fairways were hard and rolling and rolling. So, I had a pretty good day with the driver. With the greens as hard are they are now, and its not even summer, I wonder what they will be like then. Except for the elevated greens, and most are elevated to some extent, there is no way to go at the pin. You will want to land the ball at least five yards short, maybe more. One of the really good things about this course is the strategically placed shade. We Texans like shade.
Great Golf Course
Second time I played it, even better. Not bad pace of play. 4 hours.
Great greens, good layout, nice test of golf.
You better have you putting stroke tuned. And keep the driver in play.
Beautiful.
Greens ok for this golf course. Usually better. Fairway grass a bit thin and kinda muddy. Not bad shape for mid-late April all things considering.
Concrete bunkers
Arrived 15 minutes before our tee time (4:23) with no direction where to check in. Finally find the back entrance to the pro shop downstairs and were informed that they were ahead of schedule so the group we were paired with would be teeing off soon. Hurried back to the truck to get clubs and shoes and man in the pro shop told us to “get a move on guys let’s go” at 4:14. Get to the first tee in a rush and the fairway looks like a monster truck did laps on it. With the exception of cement bunkers, the rest of the course was nice, deceivingly fast greens. but doosher in the pro shop and a terrible hole 1 is enough not to come back. Even for $20. Spend a few extra bucks and go to Heritage Ranch
