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.

Good course
Enjoyable round.
Only critique would be slow green speeds.
However may be getting ready for aeration.
Recommend this course
Slow play
People have no golf etiquette.Its real simple if your group cannot see the group in front of them let the group behind you go through.My group was a twosome and we had a threesome ahead of us that were so slow the group ahead of them was 3 holes ahead.Took us 5 hours to play 18 holes instead of a normal 31/2 to 4 hour round.If there was ever a course that needed a Marshall,Canyon West definitely does.Most courses open to the public can have full time Marshalls just by letting them have couple of free rounds of golf per week.Just a suggestion.
Great Course
Course in good shape for Texas Summer. Carts have GPS. Roving cart girl to keep hydrated.
Very enjoyable course
Wonderful course with great scenery, can tell a lot of love was put into the course. Would be 5 stars with perfect green conditions.
Greens need to be taken care of
I have played here before and I had a good time. The greens did have a lot of weeds on them so they were bumpy (POA). If you don’t mind missing a few putts then it should be ok. Other than that we had a good time and hope to be back once the greens are cleared .
Greens need work
The course (greens) are overrun with Poi Anna…very tough to putt on
The greens.
Such a great course layout, a beautifully designed course. Fairways are nice, clubhouse is awesome, staff is awesome. Food is always great. The one problem right now is the greens. They are absolutely taken over by some type of invasive weed/fungus . They are covered in whatever this stuff is. Makes it almost impossible to put on. I love this course, but the greens are so bad right now..
Fun layout, poor condition
I love the layout of Canyon West and have played it since it first opened. It's been a few years since I've been there, and I was disappointed to see how poor the condition of the course is, especially the greens. They are overrun with weeds, making reliable putting impossible. I would write it off to time of year, but I played another course in the area two days later and had a completely different experience with course conditions.
Canyon West
Just like all courses this time of year.
The greens are still filling in.
Hard to putt for a score.
Terrible
This use to be one of my favorite courses. But I guess the course management is letting it go. The fairways are hard as asphalt, damaged areas are unplayable. Greens have poa annua has cover the greens so no put will track. Poor conditions on a good course!
Carts
I also forgot to mention the carts would loose power about every other shot or two saying too close to green or off the fairway. Very annoying
Poa annua
If you like putting through poa annua bumps and hitting off dirt fairways and dealing with an obstinate pro shop person….. go play here………never again for me !!
Sadly disappointed
Greens were terrible fairways terrible! Sadly disappointed ! This use to be a well maintained course! Gone downhill quickly! I was anticipating moving to this neighborhood just to be on this course! But do to the lack of course conditions and management glad I reconsidered! This course needs a makeover, quickly before it is too late!
Sad
Beautiful area, nice layout, but sad because greens are beyond repair (poa annua invasion), and fairways weren't any better. Course has great potential, but sadly it seems mother nature has far outpaced expenditures
Disappointed
The Poa annua on the greens was terrible making it impossible to keep a putt online.Fairways were mainly just dirt Was told they had just hired a new maintenance company We will see if any improvements are made.If not I want be shelling out $40 to play that caliber of course.
