Rusted Rail Golf Club

This was the worst experience of my daughters (the bride's life) a memory ruined forever. On the week prior to the event a miscommunication (not on my daughters part) but by the event planner about a walk through but because of the rain the golf course was closed. This brings us to August 28th the day of my daughters wedding. We got there at 8:00 met by someone else I believe was Beverly who absolutely was amazing. We got all set up the wedding was to start at 1pm the wedding started at 1:20. At 1pm James who i am guessing is a GM or owner or whatever ran up the stairs when questioned he said he had to do something that would take a minute. He was up there for 20 when he proceed to come down the stairs i told him to stop for a few my daughter was walking down the stairs her wedding was starting. He passed me and proceeded down the stairs my daughter asked him what he was doing that she was walking down the isle could he not hear the music that she was getting married to get out and he gave her a nasty look and went down the stairs this will forever be in her video there is no editing this part out. When James and Dana were confronted he stated he had permission to go up there from the videographer which is an employee of mine James was informed several times that the wedding was going on and he had no regard for this. His manners are rude to say the least I asked him when confronted what are you going to do to make this right you never apologized you didn't do anything he stated i was going to talk to the mom I am the mom. I informed him of this I informed him that we would be filing suit he said you can't get blood from a turnip. At which time Dana came back over to the venue after the bride and groom left to get details and than called the bride on her wedding day on her way to her honeymoon and said if you have video proof I will refund you the money of the venue. Which I am in the process of getting this from our photographer. However, there is no fixing this. There is no redo for the video. Forever this man will be in my daughters video. The grounds are unkept, there was a keg by the front door, golf course batteries where there is a area that should have flowers. This was a convenient location for all and if the venue wouldn't have been paid for in advance we would have just canceled after the no show to do the walk through. Very unhappy . The bride is upset. The video ruined. I wouldn't want another to go through this. The venue is pretty. The staff is less than professional to say the least. The only one I can give props to for trying is Beverly.

Played a fun round on this course. Not too challenging, but enjoyable. The fairways are still in winter condition, but the greens were in great shape and were fast.

The course was typically in a dormant state but should be much better in the next 3 weeks. The pace of play was great and the weather could not have been better .... had a great time and very enjoyable round !!!

Great layout and staff!! Only reson course did not receive 5 stars, well its January. If you have not played this course, PUT it on your schedule. Cannot wait to play this layout in April.

Course conditions were not great which was surprising considering there are mostly positive reviews on the course. We drove an hour to play here expecting great things. Probably wouldn’t return, even in the summer.

I had a great time at rusted rail golf course. The course was very fair and the greens were in excellent condition for this time of the year.

I use to golf at this course when it was under another name and management. The course back then was terrible but used it to better my game. When you can play well on a bad course you will play better on a some what decent course.

I have played this course twice in the last two months, they have done a nice job of maintaining the course and remodeling the clubhouse! Would play this course again.

I play the Rail on a regular basis and it gets better and better. Fairways are very good and the greens are good a little bit of sprouting here and there. They still roll well. I love the course!!!

Went to Dallas from San Antonio to visit son and play some golf. I picked this course be cause it was out of the metropolitan area and had good reviews and pricing. We loved our time there. Loved the layout. Very forgiving but still had to play good shots to score well which we did. Will play the tips next time. Yes next time because it was fun. Great condition and could be a very special course once they do some upgrades. All in all a fun course.

Been playing this course since it opened back up. It keeps getting better and better. I love it and the staff is wonderful. The local tour I play in just had a tournament there and the members liked it. Giving it a thumbs up! Great place to play!

The course was in very good condition. From what I can tell they have made a ton of improvements. Tee boxes Andy fairways were in great shape, the bunkers were raked and fluffy. A couple greens were a bit rough, but not terrible. You can tell the new owners are really trying improve this course I’ll definitely be back.

Excellent course for the money. The greens were in great shape.

This was my first time to play here and on Memorial Day to boot. Fairways were well mowed just a little bumpy in places. Greens were slow and rough patches in places, so hard to get a true roll. I would recommend and will be back for sure.

I play here often and the course keeps getting better and better. This will be a top notch golf course by summer

Although this was the first time I've ever played Rusted Rail, I was told by the folks I played with that the course is night and day from what it was just a couple of years ago. That's because the new owners, since purchasing the course in 2017, have made great efforts to improve every aspect of the operation, creating what is essentially a centerpiece for this bedroom community located just south of Dallas.

It starts in the clubhouse, where each guest is warmly greeted. There are terrific meeting, banquet and wedding facilities (there's even separate rooms for brides and grooms) and a solid food and beverage operation as well.

As for the course, which was renamed two years ago to reflect the railroad heritage of Crandall, Texas, it continues to improve each day. The new owners spent upwards of $1 million on new drainage, bunkers, cart paths and improving the fairways and greens to create a golf course that's fun, playable and a pretty good test, especially if you play the back tees at more than 7,000 yards. Each hole is different, with a nice variety of par 3s and par 5s, culminating with a terrific uphill finishing par-4 by the clubhouse. Rusted Rail has become a source of pride for Crandall, and it should get better and better in time.

Winter conditions with bare greens, but you can see a fun course on its way. Would play again.
