Maintenance cutbacks?

We’ve played this course regularly over the past 2 years... this is the worst shape I’ve seen it. At this point in the year, there isn’t much reason for the fairways to be this thin... the hills on the sides of the holes to almost be bare... and the fairways aren’t really that green. The greens were slow and bumpy. We know this course knows how to present a great course... so we’re going to give them some time to figure it out before we go back again.

I really enjoyed the course.

Was a very pleasant round of golf. Fairways are generous and greens roll well. Food and drinks are offered for free on course. Pace of play was good. Course was in good shape.

Great Escape and Smiling Faces

Just want to send my appreciation to all of the Cowboys’ staff in how they offered an outdoor sanctuary that was safe, compliant, and rejuvenated the soul under the current circumstances. Thank you all!

Beware booking discount tee times

I had an 11:20am tee time that I found for $99. With the quarantine, I can’t even tell you how excited I was to get out of the house and play some golf. Saturday morning a couple hours before tee time, I got a call that they were cancelling my tee time because I was playing as a single. Why does that matter? Does Jerry not own enough golf carts to accommodate singles playing? Ridiculous.

Worth the Money

I typically can't justify spending as much for a round of golf, but Cowboys is worth every penny. The course is in great shape year round, and you just can't beat the all-inclusive set up they have. Make sure you arrive early enough to take advantage of free breakfast before you tee off and again for lunch after the round! I'd go back just for the jalepeno dogs at the comfort station on hole 8!

Cowboys Course

I’m far from a Dallas Cowboys fan, but this was a great day. The staff were friendly and very professional. The facilities were first rate.

The course was in very good shape and was a lot of fun to play. The greens were showing the obvious extensive play over the summer and the ball mark damage was everywhere.

I’m glad I played it and recommend others play it for the novelty.

VIP Experience at Cowboys

For years I've been wanting to try Cowboys. Finally, my buddy scored a deal to get the VIP package for $99. At that price, it's a steal. 18 holes of great golf and food/non-alcohol drinks are included.

On this particular day, there was an hour frost delay so our tee time was an hour late making our chances of finishing before dark pretty slim.

The course is a good blend of challenging and playable. There are some fun short par 4s (always my favorites), and most of the par 5s are nearly reachable. Even if you're not a long hitter you won't be miserable.

The conditions were very good. For the most part, the fairways are welcoming and the rough isn't too bad. The greens are where the challenge comes in. They are fast and slippery. #3 is a beautiful mid-length par 3 over water... the green is wide and has multiple tiers side to side. If you are in the wrong spot, it's an easy 3 putt. I was on the wrong side of the hole and missed a 3 footer for birdie.

Pretty much everything about this place is first class. If you don't get a deal, it is a bit pricey, but if you aren't in Dallas very often I think it's worth it. There are a lot of great courses in the DFW area, but Cowboys is really something special: both the course and the experience.

Impressive but a few issues to be corrected

First time to play here and was impressed for the most part about this entire facility. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The course was in tip top shape and greens and fairways were well kept.

Unfortunately they need a marshal out here. I was behind a group of 6 total players, not four that were playing best ball. So it took some time. Finished right at dark and was quite surprised we made it that far. Also the cart girl only dropped by once at hole number five.

I will still go back but for the money you would expect pace of play and cart assistance to be addressed. Otherwise the course and especially the food is quite amazing.

Could be perfect....

We paid 70 for a round. While the layout of the course is very nice and the topography is great the condition of the course was very poor. The greens were very soft and most of the tee boxes were in really bad shape. It is a public course but for the money they charge I expected much more. The pace of play was awful and had we not skipped the last few holes it would have been a 5.5 hour round. I would have been upset if I paid the 200 via the course website. I would play this again but it would have to have a significant improvement in the shape of the course. If you are in Dallas and want to play I would recommend it at a fair price.
