Tour 18 Dallas

Me and a buddy went and played this course for $80 and thought we were getting a deal. Usually tee times at this course are $120 or so. We got paired with 2 other guys and were having a good time. The course Marshall came up to us around the 6th hole and told us that we had a big gap in front of us and he wanted us to close it up. We didn’t have anyone trailing behind us and paid no mind to the comment. The Marshall came back up to us on the 9th hole and asked “what the heck are y’all doing” as we were getting out of our carts. I told him respectfully that we were playing golf and we had no one behind us waiting for us to hit shots. He then proceeded to birddog us for about 4 more holes and came up to us as we were just getting out of our carts to hit our drives and told us we were wasting time as we talked about the distance of the hole. The fairways looked awful as well as the tee boxes. I have played a lot of courses in the DFW area and never ran into anything like this. Absolute waste of money.

To be honest, we were not sure what to expect at Tour 18. It is no secret that it has received a lot of criticism for how much they have let the course decline. I heard they had invested a good bit of money into it and had "new management", but you never know til you try it out, so we did. The bottom line--I would definitely go back and play Tour 18. You have to give any course some leeway in February since it's still winter conditions (lots of dead grass and very thin fairways). That said, the greens were excellent. The traps were in good shape. The service was outstanding. The cart kids and the cart girls were super friendly. Everyone that worked there was very intentional and seemed to be quite appreciative that we chose Tour 18 to play. Granted, the fairways and tee boxes are going to need to green up, so hopefully as the weather improves this will happen. If you are looking for a fun layout, with good greens that will challenge you, great customer service, with gorgeous homes surrounding the course, then Tour 18 will pleasantly surprise you. Some of the reviews were unnecessarily harsh in my opinion. Come April, I hope this course will be more lush, but we were very happy and it was worth the cost for us.

The greens were ok to good

The fairways and tee boxes were nonexistent! Pretty much just dirt and some mud.

The smallest tee boxes I can remember ever playing.

The course needs an experienced superintendent and greens keeper and a definite upgrade.

The cart paths are in poor shape

The Staff in the pro shop needs some training.

The cart attendant was warm and friendly and very pretty. The dinning room attendant was friendly and attractive.

The buffet lunch was a nice surprise.

The range balls were a plus.

The course is quite a hike unless you live in the Flower Mound area so the aforementioned are significant factors when it come down to returning and the competitive nature of the Course.

Had a good day. Pace of play was great. It looks like the fairways are ‘coming back’.
Staff were great as always.

This course has good bones, but they are letting the maintenance go.

Greens were in great shape and the course layout is awesome as always. The problem were the fairways and some green side dead patches. I was told they were dormant, but that wasn’t the only thing going on with the fairways. Nearly every hole had massive dead spots where you could see no roots just dirt. When you found the fairway you had to move your ball to a small patch of grass. For a course of this caliber and reputation these fairways were unacceptable.

Really like this course, its worth playing if you have never been, also super friendly staff

The course has wonderful potential, but the price paid to play does not stand up to the condition of the fairways.

The absolute worst course conditions of any golf course in DFW. Looks like they either went bankrupt or they stopped caring. Had high hopes, but fairways, tee boxes, greens and roughs were in terrible conditions. Going to take several years to get the course back in playing conditions.

Awesome layout, fairways in somewhat rough shape but playable. Definitely worth playing at least once for the sawgrass and amen corner holes if you can get it at a decent rate considering the condition.
