BUGolf

This was my first time playing this course and unfortunately it was CPO. As someone new to Dallas, I was looking for a sub-$60 round at a course with good tee boxes, fairways and greens that roll quickly.

This course achieved two of those criteria easily, however the greens were somewhat slow. They were probably rolling 8 on the stimp (It had rained that day and the greens were quite soft.) For the average golfer, this would be fine, but this course certainly demands more than average golf in order to succeed.

I myself am around a scratch golfer, and I was playing with a friend who was new to golf. This is not exactly the place to bring someone new to the game. There are blind tee shots, forced carries, and lots of water hazards to avoid. For example, the third hole from tips played around 270ish to a back pin. I somehow put it close with a 3 wood and made par. My partner was not so lucky... This is just one example, but I found myself forced to play precise shots on seemingly every tee shot in order to simply locate my ball for the next shot. On the bright side, these difficult shots provide for some great views.

For the advanced player, do not hesitate to come out here and test your skills. You will be tested. The back tees play to a 75+ rating, and it is for good reason. If you are less than advanced, be sure to tee it forward to enjoy the day without losing a dozen golf balls.

All in all, the value for money is great, and I will certainly be back for a round when it is not cart path only.
