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.

Used to love it out here
To put it bluntly, the course is in terrible shape right now. I have heard there may be some new owners or maintenance scheduled, but right now, it's best to avoid.
I used to love it out here.... great views of six Texas Counties, elevation changes, good greens, and lots of wildlife. Only the elevation remains. More houses along fairways, fencing that narrows several holes, and lack of maintenance is apparent. The greens are about half the size they used to be, they have inch-long grass on them, and lots of weeds. Where there used to be fairways, now is mud, rocks, and bare dirt. Several bunkers were worn down to the liners. Several tee boxes had grass that covered my 2 1/4" tees. It was a nice country-ish course, now a goat track with overpriced $5 hot dogs and some angry staffers.
Not worth the drive any more.... just unfortunate.
Beautiful course, not clean bathrooms
This is a beautiful course, fun to play..
Bathrooms on the course were not clean, I didn’t even want to walk in there!
Worth the Drive
From me, it is 45 minute drive. However, th course is always in excellent condition. The greens are relatively fast but, roll well. The elevation changes are great - you can see forever from a lot of the tee boxes - BTW, the tee boxes are flat, and well maintained. There are some blind T shots so the first time, it pays to drive up and see where you should aim. Staff are pleasant and helpful. The carts have GPS on board and it is a sophisticated GPS with hazards, etc. - FREE. You will enjoy the scenery and the open air and the golf. Challenging layout - but, the fairways are very generous. Greens are pretty sizable and well bunkered. There are fairway bunkers as well - but, again, the fairways are wide. No negatives to my mind. A great way to get out of the city and enjoy a day on the links.
Cool and windy
Fairways were very hard which was odd since we have had so much rain. greens were in good shape. appreciated the raised cup to help with flattening the curve.
Water, Quick
Love the overall track; it’s varied and has elevation changes aplenty. But a lack of water has resulted in hard pan fairways and little grass growth.
Still one of the most enjoyable, entertaining courses I’ve played in the Northcentral Texas area.
Great challenging course
Truly enjoy playing here. Wind is almost always a factor but greens are great and design is a tremendous golfing experience
A Fine Experience
For mid-March play after several days of rainy weather, Canyon West delivered and then some. It played fairly long from the Blues given the wet conditions. The fairways were still dormant, but the greens rolled fairly well, the sand traps were better than most, and the diversity of the track and, particularly, the elevation changes from tee to green were a pleasure to take on.
If a could stand the Texas heat, I'd come back and play it when it shows it's best.
great golfing
All you need are clubs and time. You will want to come back again and again.
Fun round
Hot deal @ $14.xx. Carts are about a year old, Yamaha, and worked perfectly. GPS worked great, although it did re-boot once, which caused no problem. Conditions were excellent and as a single, another pleasant gentleman, Dale, joined me on # 7. There were 3 twosomes in front of us, so we did wait for the complete round, but still played within just over 2 hours. Greens looked a little dry but played excellently. Cart girl strolled thru several times, which we didn’t use, but a welcome change. No hiccups throughout the course. Looks like management has addressed all past problems and worked to make this a first class venue again.
With Holiday Hills & Sugartree no longer available thru GolfNow, this is the closest course to me. Split Rail dropped out years ago as has Oeste. Good venue but as loaded as it was today, Monday, in the middle of the winter with a high of 68 degrees, it’ll be tuff to get “hot deals” as things warm up!
Greg
I have played here several times. The layout is good, visually very appealing on most holes. Being the end of January the fairways were thin to very thin in places, lots of tight lies. Looking forward to May when it will be grown in and lush. Good course and a good value, one of my favorites.
Canyon West Review
Wife and I played there today for first time. Somewhat challenging mainly because uncertainty of course. Lots of hills, hidden greens. It had rained in the area last week and there were some wet areas but still surprisingly playable.
The staff is great! Very friendly and more important, considerate. At the 10th hole I received a call about a family emergency and we had to stop play. The staff gave us a raincheck for 9 holes, INCLUDING cart fee. That is Texas hospitality! Definitely will play there again. We did not have a chance to check on the 19th hole amenities.
Mishap on t time
We had a t time at 11:50 and there was 4 carts waiting to t off at 11 50 I don't know if this is a first come first t off kind of place maybe it was backup because of fog I really don't know but other than that our 4some had a great time.
