Las Colinas Golf Club

Darn, when I made my tee time I was thinking I was playing TPC Las Colinas, oops that’s in Dallas…just kidding, I knew where I was and was hoping for a TPC experience at this local muni course but…

First off, this course is one of the easiest, most forgiving, hazard-free, playable courses I have played in years.

It was in OK condition, I mean it IS winter ;-)

The fairways were firm (if you take beaver pelt divots your wrists will be hurting) and tightly mowed (the ball rolled and rolled and rolled so pay attention to distances) and some of the fairways naturally sloped toward the rough so with firm tight conditions just because you hit the fairway doesn’t mean you will stay in the fairway but instead wind up in the “rough.”

BUT the rough was not really ‘rough’ at all but short dormant turf so very easy to hit out of with no appreciable impact on play. Of course one benefit of having firm short rough is that your ball will typically find a level spot to stop for your next shot.

The greens were the highlight for me and the toughest test on the course. After the first couple holes I started to pay much more attention on flag location and slopes on the green because you definitely did NOT want to be above the hole and worse on a side hill to the hole…they rolled true and pretty fast. Many of the pin placements on the day I played were in locations where there were slight breaks around the hole so if you are playing your buddies for $ I’d recommend being careful with your “gimmies” because those short putts may not really be gimmies unless straight uphill!

As far as layout, everything was right before you and visible. “Doglegs” were very slight and with the absence of any hazards to speak of (maybe a few trees that might get in the way) in combination with easy ‘rough’ you can usually pretty easily turn doglegs into straight holes by cutting the corner.

All in all it was an enjoyable round and kinda nice to have a (fairly) stress-free loop in under 4 hours…yes, pace of play WAS that quick!

Great conditions for the orice. Lots of green. Tee boxes level and not beat down. Fairways and greens in great shape.

I really like this place, always have. It has become over priced unfortunately with multiple bunkers needing massive attention to the point that you take drops for unplayable lies, including number 1. The rest of the course has honestly never been better. Nice job folks.

Play this course 3 or 4 times a year. They have new ownership recently - not sure exactly when - and the difference is readily apparent. 4 hour round on a busy Saturday. Marshall was a regular site. The course was in the best shape I've seen it. The worst thing I can say is we only saw the Drink Cart twice, but that is not a big deal to this golfer. If you haven't been here in a while....give it a shot. It's not the most difficult track around, but its a fun test.

Good, solid course. Worth the price and conditions were good. Definitely an option if you don’t want to spend $200 +.

Overseed was very nice. Tee boxes and greens great shape. Clubhouse a little dated but offered everything I needed. Will definitely come back and play.

Had a very nice round with my brother and nephew. Would recommend this course to anyone.

Played this one twice while down in Phoenix for winter vacay. I enjoyed both rounds. Hit lots of greens, a product of open tee shots and plenty of fairway width.

Overall conditions were good. Greens are fair, not too bad for the money. Better than some but not the top of the heap compared to better courses. But for the money, I'll play this one again.

Course has slightly improved over last year. Understand this course was sold and is noticeable. Cost is a little high in comparison with others, within a 20 mile circle.
Average cooker cutter community golf course, with potential with proper investment.
