Type Public
Par 72
Length 6653 yards
Slope 124
Rating 71.0

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.

This course is usually great--BUT NOT THIS TIME!

Granted, we did get a little rain in the recent past, but nothing that would explain the overwhelming length of all of the grass on the course today! It was a real shame not being able to find 4 of your balls due to the grass being so tall. Most unfortunately, 3 of those balls were lost in the fairway! I have no idea what their excuse is, but if this would have been my first time playing here, I would absolutely NEVER play here again. It was quite shameful, and a complete waste of my money! Perhaps you should call ahead, and ask how long it has been since they mowed the grass, before paying to play here.

Canyon West

The coarse was in good shape considering most people lost either greens or fairways or both during icemegeddon.

Unfortunately with most people not having golf etiquette anymore they don’t understand anything about golf. Rules, pace of play, not putting your foot print by the hole or when to just pickup and get out of the way.

pace of play

we had a couple that had the same tee time as did a foursome. there was no course marshal or starter so there were 6 gofers trying to tee off at the same time. the couple hit after the foursome which backed us up. the couple were some what slow ( beginners) which made play slow also. GET A COURSE MARSHAL ON THE COURSE and STARTER.

Needs TLC

First of all, this is probably my favorite course in all of DFW. Super unique design, beautiful scenery, challenging yet fair, but I’ve never seen it in such bad shape. Half the fairways are dead. The greens are slower than normal and inconsistent. A few of the tee boxes are so hard it’s nearly impossible to tee up and one of the greens look diseased. Granted it’s been a really bizarre time year as far as weather goes, but it shouldn’t be this bad and it doesn’t help when people disrespect the course, don’t listen to signs and drive right up to the greens. It’s also obvious they are doing a lot of work but I’m afraid it’s not enough. This course has SO much potential and if they got it looking better, they could charge so much more. I won’t be back for awhile but I really hope they can fix everything bc this course is incredible.

Fun Round

We booked two threesomes back to back and had a grand time in the coolest weather June has offered us in years. Course conditions were good except for the tall fairway and rough but with all the recent rains it was expected. They are surely moving this course in the right direction. High 5 to the owners and staff!
