The course layout earns high praise for its scenic elevation changes and challenging terrain that reward repeat visits. Modern GPS carts with food and drink ordering, friendly staff, and strong value make each round worthwhile.

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.

Hidden Gem

Awesome!!!! Course is in great shape, greans are soft, layout is challenging but not insane. The club house is beautiful and has an upstairs bar/restaurant that over looks 3 or 4 golf holes. This place was the best deal for the money I have found in DFW. Only down side is the distance, even from Fort Worth it is 30+ minute drive, I'm sure from Dallas it would be nearly an hour. O and the bartender girls are pretty good looking I might add.

Used cart

70 degrees during December!

70 degrees on 12/17/13!! Love the course because it's not crowed, normally which makes for a less stress-free round. 2 guys I joined up made for a nice round. We also enjoyed the bar service with a choice of beverages that is lengthy. Hard to believe that the BLUEs @ 6236 is rated @ 68.7 and SLOPE at 116.....seems more challenging than that!
Great price thru GolfNow.

I love playing Canyon West.

Beautiful area. The elevated tee boxes have to be experienced. The greens are well kept and roll true. Dining in the club house tops off the day, overlooking almost the entire course. Must play !!!

Fun course with a lot of elevation changes.

I have played this course 3 times in the last 30 days. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite courses. The only negative is the sand traps are dirt and not sand.

What a course

I play this course a lot as it is my home course. No matter what time of year I go out there, the course is in great shape. Fairways are very will kept. Greens tend to play medium to slow but are always pristine. Bunkers are maintained. you will never see one with standing water. The views from this course are awesome. The course has a western theme and the most of all, the back 9 plays tougher than the front 9. I highly, Highly recommend this course. Its a great round for a great price.

Great course. Greens are in great shape.

I really like the lay out of the course. The back nine is different from the front and I like that change. The front nine is more open and you can get warmed up. The fairways are in great shape along with the greens.

Great course for beginners or experienced golfers.

I like the course at canyon west golf club. The course is well taken care of and the staff is always friendly/courteous/generous to me and guests I'm with everytime I have been to visit. I like the fact that they have coolers on the golf cart for drinks and ice. The only thing they need now is a cart and someone to bring drinks to people on the course. Every course I have been to has a food drink cart that comes and sees if you want any refreshments. That's my only suggestion, is they get a cart for refreshments that go to people on the course.

Absolutely beautiful golf course!

I was so surprised at the quality of the course based on what I paid in my green fee. The course is super well maintained, the fairways are almost all perfect. Number 10 had a few bare spots visible from the tee but didn't really affect the play of he hole. The course has some elevation changes and a nice variety of holes. Number 5 is a very pretty hole whose green sits next to a very nice waterfall.

The course is not excessively long; 6,653 from the back tees and 6,236 from the Blue tees I played. The greens are challenging without being impossible but you do have to make good putts. Some of the approach shots are to elevated greens which makes the shot a little more difficult. I did not encounter a single shot that I thought was unfair or too difficult for average golfers.

I was amazed that there were as few golfers on the course as there were. I suspect that when the temperatures get a little cooler, this course will be inundated with play. Unfortunately, I also think that as they build more of the gigantic homes I saw on the course, the course will be privatized and we mortals will be denied access. Better take advantage of the current access and play now while you can.

While it did take 5 hours to play, it was mostly a result of the three high handicappers I played with. One of them was struggling to break 100 and giving his two friends lessons all around the course. Funny. I shot a very nice legitimate 78.

I am from Houston and was visiting my in-laws in Granbury but I plan on playing again the next time I return which will be either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Absolutely a beautiful, fun, reasonably priced course to play.

Nice views, but the actual course was nothing special.

Greens were very hard and were very fast. Never had to repair a single ball mark due to the hardness of the greens.

Staff was very distant. Had to prod the lady when I checked in to find out anything. She might have said two words to me. Had it not been for another golfer who was just sitting in the Pro Shop, not sure I would have found out anything about the course or how to get information. Nice facility with great views of the country side but not worth the drive to play again.

Excellent value at any level

Course setup is challenging for any player level. Varying elevations and plenty of hazards yet generally open enough for the beginner.
