I played here 2 months ago. This time, the cart had a very good working GPS. The fairways were noticeably greener and more healthy. The removed fence on the left of #10 has been removed. #11 has new cart path to access the blues and gold tees. And igloo containers had very cold bottled water in them. What’s not to like?

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!

Even though the greens were a little dormant looking, not the deep green these greens are known for, they were better than most in this area. Most were soft and held approaches well. As usual, the fairways were weedy but this is winter and I believe in improving the lie if in the fairway if it either a bare spot or weedy.
The temperature, around 48 wehen i teed off, was easily adapted to after my tee shot. I did use a golf jacket which made conditions nice. I like the layout of the course and have never had to deal with any rudeness from other golfers and definitely not from the staff.
Good value.

The course keeps getting better. The work around 12 green and 13 tee box adds to the overall experience even tough the work doesn’t change the playability. Impressed with the new hole markers on the tee boxes as well. Glad they continue to improve!

Great golf course. Greens are in great shape now as they have recovered from the transplanted green turf from the weird winter/spring.
I play Winstar as well and they had the same problem with the greens this year as Canyon West. Both have recovered incredibly due to the amount of rain.
New carts with great GPS screens make for a fun day at a course where your pace of play is quick.
Try it, you'll like it!

Greens are exceptional. I was surprised how slow they were, but might be because of the time of year, December, as bent grass is usually fast.
Can't wait to play here again because I lost several shots due to unfamiliar with the layout.

Enjoyed another fun round at Falconhead. Didn't mind the punching and sanding because it is part of maintaining good greens. These are good greens here and are the best thing about this course other than the low rate. I'll be back when I'm in the area.

Don't know why I put off trying this nice course for so long, but I'll definitely go back. Never was held up or pushed during the round which took 3.5 hrs. This is an old school course that is walkable but we took a cart. The absolute best thing about the course would be the bent grass greens. I was disappointed about how many divots were visible on these healthy, well cared for greens. If this was my home course, I'd spend more time on each green fixing the irresponsible players neclected pitch marks. It was easy to repair the necessary marks on my line, but still had dozens left to the next groups to deal with.
Challenging while not being very difficult as the 118 slope rating tells you. Carts were gas powered but didn't overwhelm you with fumes like they do at other courses.

Enjoyed the layout of this challenging course. I believe you'll have to play it a couple of times before you to understand where to play the holes to optimize your score. They obviously are improving the course as workers were on several holes and understood that the golfer is to be yielded to. Greens are not super fast but undulating therefore difficult. I will return!

Good food. Enjoyable round but play with someone who can let you know where the trouble is on a few holes. Greens are extremely fast.

I will not return here. I never thought I was spoiled with golf, but this outing was a disappointment. I can't believe I'm writing about condition of cart paths but chunks of asphalt here and there then no path at all and every once in awhile some concrete for a stretch seemed like a club that is struggling to stay afloat. Holes were arranged weirdly, probably because of the houses, but it just doesn't work, at least for me. No plush grass in the fairways. Greens were reasonable but the old anthill design, again, probably designed a long time ago to try to make the best of the topography.
Save your $ and time and play somewhere else. If you drink allot of beer and are in a scramble, if could be fun.

Course is challenging. We played as a 4some for the first 9 and a 3some the second 9 and got in in less than 4 hours. Course was very dry except the greens which were well maintained. Lots of challenges due to water and most of the holes. Staff was friendly as greeters and in the 19th hole after the round.
My cart had almost no brakes but I understand that as equipment nears the end of it's rental contract, it shows some age.
Would recommend this course to anyone that has a decent game though you need to consider where the water is on each hole and play smart.

Paid the whopping $4 at the pro shop and was informed that GolfNow had made a mistake on the price to play. He mentioned that GolfNow was going to makeup the difference. I assumed that $4 was extremely low for this golf course as I play here with North Texas Seniors 2 or more times a year and I know that the normal senior rate is in the mid to upper $30 area.
I didn't feel great about the information since Tierra Verde would be reimbursed for the difference, but with a 2:10 tee time and a sunset at 6:17 that day, I thought maybe that what was described as "Twilight" rate actually did apply. In other words, why bring it up!?
The putting green is in the worst shape ever. Poi Anna, a weed, has all but ruined it. Luckily it was not nearly as present on the golf holes but if it gets as bad as the putting green in the future, they will be lucky to have players at all.
Don't get me wrong, this is a magnificent golf course, but I hope the Poi Anna goes way.

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.

Announced as the golfnow tee time. Staff didn't seem warm to golfnow. Course is challenging. Would play again.

These guys had no marshal so we waited all day. I've run into this before playing early. Tried a mid-day tee time thinking it would be faster....didn't help. Foursomes don't seem to allow faster players to go thru.

Love the history & that cart paths run out on several holes. This means you have less chance of ruining a ball when you miss a fairway...

Rain off and on thru the day, but this course drains well. Staff worked thru the rain as usual to keep the player experience a great one. Love this track and Golf Now's pricing makes the daya pleasure.

The course was fairly well maintained but needs more attention is several areas. Pace of play was slower than expected but finished in 4 hours, following 2 different three-somes. Rain the previous day, and no trap had been raked. One hole had no rake at the green side bunker at all. The price was great, but will only play here if I find another dirt cheap rate.
