Fairways are wide, but are lined with weeds/grass

This course is great. But, there are weeds on both sides of the fairways that are filled with poison Ivy and Oak and to watch your ball roll into this mess makes it impossible to try to find the ball. I will not walk into 3 feet of grass to locate a darn golf ball only to get so sick that I can't play for weeks because of the poison weeds.

Sorry, it a great course, but we can't take the risk. My husband lost 2 months of play last summer from the weeks poison.

I'm sorry that you found yourself hitting balls into our native habitat. Both sides of our fairways are lined with a cut of rough and sometimes two cuts of rough. Shots have to stray pretty far off the beaten path to find our native habitat (haha). But, I have good news. Our course is not a very long one, and I would advise taking less club to aid in hitting the fairway. Considering the relatively short length or our course and the generous fairways.... our only defense is wind, native habitat, and a little water. If you have any questions or need some advice on playing our course feel free to call the pro shop anytime. Thank you for playing our course, and we hope to see you again soon.... in the short grass!

The golf course was in terrible shape, no grass in the fairways at all. Staff is still unfriendly and overall I paid $38 for a golf course it’s not in good shape

I would like to discuss your experience at Cleburne Golf Links to learn more about your experience. The grass on our fairways has been dormant, as all Bermuda grasses have been over the winter months, but we have been mowing them for a couple of weeks now, so I am confused by your comment about no grass on the fairways. Please call me at 817-641-4501. Kind regards.

Weeds

This course has more weeds than grass the tea boxes weren't mowed so you had grass and weeds that were over 3 in tall in areas it was embarrassing I won't go back hopefully some of this poana will burn off in the summer the greens were actually pretty good for this time of year but the rest of course it's in trouble

Construction

There is still a lot of construction going on. Cart path only on some holes, but worth playing. We had a real nice time.

Poorly run. No one in the restaurant. The staff that was, there was very unfriendly, not professional. The course is was in pretty good shape for being dormant. But the staff is so unfriendly I could not recommend this golf course. .

December 30th Golfing

Course was in good shape overall. 4 hour pace of play with some repairs on 15-16. Driving range is closed for the foreseeable future though due to rain damage a few weeks ago with sink holes. Greens are hard and fast, fairways are mostly hard as well. Staff was friendly and helpful.

December Golf

Range was closed due to rain the day before and course was cart path only. Grass still in good shape for being December. Greens are fast and subtle slope by the holes make them difficult. 3:45 round with cart path only and great pace of play.

Cleburne

Always enjoy getting over to Cleburne. Always enjoy their wonderful burgers too, but I swear that girl in the grill has the nastiest disposition I’ve ever seen. I have no idea why they keep her around.
