Canyon West Golf and Sports Club

About
The scenic ranchlands west of Fort Worth are full of rugged canyons, native wildflowers, and impressive elevation changes, all of which are incorporated into Canyon West’s design. Located atop Parker County’s highest summit, this 1997 18-holer incorporates all of those North Texas Hill Country features and more into its design. Waterfalls, miles of streams, exposed rocks, prairie grasses, wildflowers, and loads of oak, pecan, elm, and mesquite trees highlight the landscape.
Elevated tees offer views of the countryside. In addition to the scenery, golfers are welcomed by generous fairways that make this a fairly user-friendly course, especially given its reasonable yardage of 6,653 from the tips and the fact that water comes into play on only about half of the holes.
Other notes: During the week, the course offers seniors a two-for-one green fee. Walking is not allowed.
Getting there : From Ft. Worth, go west on I-20 and take exit 403. Cross left over the freeway and then make a quick right onto the service road. The entrance is 2.5 miles down the road.

Needs some work
The fairways were great, but the greens and tee boxes need help. They had punched the tee boxes and not cleaned up all the dirt clods. Were working on it, but very slowly.
Better
Greens were still not great but getting a lot better. They had punched them and sanded them I guess a week or so ago. So they are still bumpy. It would be good if they could roll them
Slow play was probably more to do with cart path only, but maybe not also 😂
We will be back once things dry out and greens get better
Greens are better than 3 weeks ago , but they are probably 4 weeks away from aerating and plugging! The new head groundskeeper is doing a good job ,
Fun course.
I enjoy this course and play it once or twice a year. I like the layout and always enjoy it. One minor issue has been the greens. This time they were freshly aerated and sanded. I probably should have called ahead and asked about them because I had a similar issue last year.
Great course
Beautiful course, challenging and fun, with many elevation changes in a very scenic setting. They had punched the greens the day before, but they weren’t that bad.
Great Course
Love playing this course. Beautiful scenic setting with elevation changes that are challenging and fun. Recently punched greens was the only negative but I’ve seen much worse.
Greens unpredictable
Everything was greatly maintained but the greens were not in great shape -- sandy, bumpy, and unpredictable putts.
Beautiful Terrain/Slow Greens
I’ve played this course a couple times back in 2022 and just played again for the first time since then. I really enjoy the layout of this course and the surrounding views/terrain. The course itself isn’t very difficult. Carts are newer and nice with screens that you can even order food/drink from. The greens were slow and some other areas need some work (like most courses) but overall good conditions. Had a 2pm tee time on the Saturday of MDW and almost nobody was out there. No pressure behind us which was nice. Would definitely play again.
Great minus greens
This has been one of my favorite courses around for awhile now. Last spring was the worse I have ever seen it and it’s safe to say there has been A TON of improvement. Greens bigger, fairways sodded and well kept. Overall it’s gotten a lot better.. the biggest downside are the once well kept greens. They are riddled with weeds. I am sure management is working to fix it but it’s a shame they were let to become this bad. I hope they can get renovated soon bc this course is a jewel.
Awesome course for the price
Me and my buddy got this course for 30.99 as a hot deal and although it was a 50 minute drive from my house I had a blast. Some of the coolest tee boxes to greens I’ve seen and wasn’t very busy. A little sand on the greens especially towards the back 9 but overall very fun. Definitely would come again only downside is the traffic.
I would go again
Pros
Absolutely beautiful. Love the layout, especially the elevations. Great clubhouse, brand new GPS carts.
Con’s
Some bare patch’s in fairways. Greens were basically sand and not acceptable.
Awesome day
The course is in great shape, especially after all the rain that we’ve had. Definitely going back soon.
Overall great time
Really liked the layout. Fun holes, great angles of attack—and numerous ways to line out your game. Fairways were pretty nice, greens are being worked out. Lots of bumpier everywhere on most greens—but still fun. Not the easiest to score low due to greens—but it’s seems they should be looking even better as April comes to a close into May.
Canyon West mid April
The issue with Canyon West currently are the greens. They've apparently stripped and sanded the greens. They're not just an inconvenience, you can't putt on them. Most courses will advise you of this and/or offer a discount. I didn't get the memo after driving a considerable distance.
Beautiful course, terrible greens
The course and atmosphere was beautiful! But the greens were in TERRIBLE shape. I do not know if it was just the time of year where they’re doing work on them but they were impossible to putt on. If the greens were in a somewhat normal shape, the course would be a 5/5 star course.
Disappointed in Weatherford
This course was top-notch a few years ago. It has gone downhill big time. The greens were more like a weedy pasture. The tee boxes were in sad shape as well. It's not worth the drive or money anymore!
