About

Holes 18
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.

Great laid back course

Fantastic course I've played here 3 or 4 times now and never had a bad experience. Very nice carts and course booklets. They used to have water coolers with bottles of water on every other hole but now it's just a water jug on 3 holes so bring your own refreshments.

Course is extremely beginner friendly for several reasons but mostly because it's not usually super busy. The fairways are not super tight and there's several holes that go right so if you slice no big deal. There's water on a few holes including a gorgeous waterfall on hole 3 or 4 I belive. There's also three holes that you tee off essentially looking over a cliff edge. If you normally play from the reds I'd say move back to the whites as they are actually a bit easier to hit from because of their position on a few holes. I personally alternated back and forth.

Overall it's a great course. Only negative that I can think of is the greens can be a little sandy some times and fairways can be try sometimes but it's pretty rare. They take pretty good care of the place and if you get a hot deal it's definitely worth the price!

Sticky Greens

The course tee and fairways are great, the staff was awesome, the greens not so good. The greens would hold a shot and then it was like putting a velcro covered ball on the second half of velcro. very sticky and extremely slow and very bumpy and not rolling true. enough said. I do like the course but until they can get the greens in better shape its not worth the money.

After 3

I wouldn’t book a tee time after 3pm cause they clear don’t care about those customers. The cart girl shut down at 320 for the day but told us and the groups behind us that that the club house would be open until 6pm. We made the turn at the club house at 520 and it was all shut down. No drinks no bathroom access. The staff told us they were told to shut down because the GM didn’t feel enough people booked after 3pm. The 3 guys I golf with now refuse to go back so they lost customers

Great but could be better

This course is an awesome layout for amateur golfers. It has enough challenges to keep it interesting, but without causing round-killing frustration with ridiculous greens, etc. That said, there are still some apparent concerns about the financial picture. I say that because this course needs to be watered A LOT MORE during these hot and dry months of the year. Furthermore, the greens need to be mowed more often. We played yesterday, a Friday, beginning at 4:00pm, and the green speeds were barely as good as a small-town muni course. Not acceptable in a semi-private club. All-in-all, it was a very fun round and we will be back!!

Nice track

Course is being upgraded since Weatherford college took over. Above average.

Johnny behind the counter is a pleasure to deal with and the cart girls are always making the loop.

View from the bar upstairs isn’t to be missed.

Great course

I’ve played this course pre-COVID when it was under original ownership and after it was sold to the 2nd. owner. Course conditions were ok and in need of watering grounds maintenance. This new owner (3rd.) is spending money on it and many improvements have been made. The course conditions have been greatly improved and worth the drive to play. Course conditions are a 7.5 to 8.0 out of 10.

Canyon Best

Love this course, and it is in my rotation of courses I play. Love the views. The homes aren’t right up on the course, like a certain course in Granbury. Elevation changes make it interesting. Greens were sanded, but the hot deal was 18 bucks that day. Good day to work on fairway shots. Staff is always great, and I even lucked out with a cart where the GPS was fried, so no getting locked out on the cart. Nice feeling not having to worry about that. Breezes and wind are important, when the temps were in upper 90’s. Weatherford never disappoints with the breeze. One of my 4 regulars like stated earlier. Always enjoy a trip out West.

Cart path only

Overall great course. But, didn’t understand why it was cart path only. No areas of standing water or other hazards. All said, I’d go back again.

Good round

Didn't play well but not due to course. Greens were slow due to aeration but knew that before started they will be good in about a week or two. Course overall in great shape. Carts are still good and staff very friendly.
