Magnificent Tree Farm

Played this course last year and although it was dormant , it is truly beautiful . Can't wait to play it in the Spring . In great shape wit plenty of challenge for everyone .

Only criticism is several of the greens are too slanted (10 , 11 and 15) . They are more tricky than they need to be.

"Worth the Drive".

We hope you were able to make it back this spring to play the course again as it is now bright green and the roses are currently in full bloom.
We have had complaints on the slant of a few greens in the past and we listened and changed up #11 to try to help the golfer. It is a bit more fair but it is still a challenge. Now that the grass is growing again you might find the greens a bit slower and therefore those greens might be a little more forgiving. Come on out and give it a shot again.

Don't Miss

Best of its category . 100 miles from Dallas but worth it. Baylor golf team's home course along beautiful section of creek from Lake Waco . Pick your tee up to 7500 yds and go for it . Very nice routing , good variety of holes , brutes and strategists , and in the best dormant condition I've seen this winter . Not sure how much play it gets but we were alone early morning . Staff friendly and helpful and course is all you want .

Much better than nearby Cottonwood Creek but you could play both in same day .

Tired Resort

Surprised Plummer and Palmer have their name on this old course. Some good holes but dormant conditions were sad . Layed as single and caught fivesome on 11 that sent their first to putt out to tee offat the next tee . Have to admit I haven't seen anyone go to such measures to keep me from playing through .
Stone Creek WAY better and 15 mins away.

Nice Drive

About an hour east of Dallas . Club looks very tired but course in decent (dormant) condition . Wide fairways but several holes , including first , have a preferred line.
Greens smooth and very fast . Mature trees and some elevation change . Course has a nice series of lakes but none are in play except on approach to 18 . What a shame .

Played on Wednesday morning and course choked with fivesomes . Played the first five holes without delay and waited every shot thereafter .

Worth a Trip

Played course in cool , dormant conditions . A nice layout with some very good holes .. Staff friendly and helpful . Good value . With little water , bunkers , and no forced carries it is a good course for women and beginners . Prety flat making it an easy walk . Needs a marshal to monitor slower groups .

I'll bet mosquitos are a problem during warmer months . Touches lake on east and up against dam on south .

Friendly staff . Course empty except for foursome in front of us that had to have picked up our ball on #11 which has a blind landing area . Stuck behind them entire back nine . Ruined an otherwise nice golf day . Many interesting shots, choices .

Better All The Time

Third time this year to play and it was an absolute delight. Early holes (1-5) just okay but from 6 on it is really nice. Greens very nice , smooth , quick. Good variety of 3's , 4's, 5's. Friendly staff. Great pace until 18th tee. Play it again. If I lived in Fort Worth it would be my go-to.

Overhyped

REALY looked forward to playing this course but it was monotonous hole after hole. Could not remember course. I have enjoyed playing Norman courses in the past but this one lacked imagination. Guy in Pro Shop must have lost his girlfriend . Was easily least friendly person in more than 40 courses played in the area.

Very Nice Resort Course

Very nice course and nice resort. Very comfortable facility all the way around. Best greens I've played in SoCal. Got lucky with great pairing on first tee. Two knowledgeable players that played well and knew lines of play. Creek / Oaks getting ready to host Cal Amateur event. StoneHouse fun and beautiful but trickier.

A Gem

Very nice shorter course. Greens perfect. Fairways and cart paths a bit in need of attention. Really interesting holes, especially on back nine.

Not in the best shape but many good holes including drive over road on first tee. One drive on the back evoked image of 15th at Pebble. Very nice , friendly and helpful staff. Trees strategically narrowing tee shots and approaches.

A True Gem

I thought this was truly enjoyable to play. It's a drive from San Diego , and course ravaged by drought, but the fairways were soft and the greens were perfect. It's walkable , the staff is friendly , and it has fun , interesting holes back to back all the way around. It was my first time to play the course so a yardage book would have been nice , but the scorecard map gave the line of play. A couple of the fairways are crossed by hazards but I managed to avoid them. I hope this is the first place it starts to rain.

RTJ Through Neighborhood

Okay course in nice condition. Very helpful Starter got me paired up quickly and foursome pace just under 4 hours. Course used for local and state tournaments but long uphill 18th the only truly difficult hole. Greens difficult to read.

Change of Pace

This is a great change of pace after playing the longer traditional courses in the area. several par 4's about placement from tee , rather than length. Nice variety of 3 pars as well. Fun shots and interesting changes in elevation. Fairways a bit bare but greens very nice.

Not Yet Ready

I wanted to play Champions and got Legends. I can not recommend this course. I read another review stating it needs time to let renovation changes grow in. That is probably fair. It is not ready. It is too pricey for its condition. They need a marshall too. The group in front of us was told they could not play as a fivesome , but merely waited until 3rd tee to play together. They argued , grabbed each other's rear, and waited on par 5's for the group to reach the green. In this age of pace - awareness , can anybody be so oblivious ?
On another note, the resort is in sad shape , and a fire - drill at the drive-up.

Very Nice / Well-run

Top notch course and very friendly staff ,from bag drop to Pro Shop to food service/ bev cart. Course fun but great fortune to be paired with a member who was very helpful with sight lines and carries. Greens the only small negative in that they could not be read. Would have to play many times to know break.
