Great Value

This was my first time to play at this course and it was very enjoyable experience. The course was well taken care of. Only feedback is that the leaves be blown off of the greens but other than that great course.

Olde Course

Practice options for a public course were very good. They have 3 courses and I played the Olde Course. It was awful. Fairways were mostly bare with sparse patches of a multitude of grasses. Greens were pretty good and had some challenging undulations. The condition of the course in general was so bad I will never even consider playing it again.

Really just need the staff to speed up the few groups that ruin it for everyone else. If a groups can’t finish in 4 hours on their own with a cart they shouldn’t be playing golf.

Great course and great value

The old course is a super challenging course but for the money you cant beat it. The city has put money into the facility anf the staff does all they can to makr you feel welcome. The only thing I would add is a marshal on the weekends.

The Old Course

The greens are in great shape. With the weather I wasn’t surprised that the fairways weren’t in great shape. I like the way it’s laid out. We enjoyed playing it a lot.

Not impressed

The course was mostly dead. A lot of bare spots. Greens were fairly decent compared to fairways and rough. Sand traps were ridiculous and like hitting off hard pan.

A fantastic value for the money.

What I am about to say goes for all three courses Old/ Lakes/ Bridges. I have been playing at all three since 2014.

The staff at all three locations are fantastic. The Old / Lakes club house is a little older but the city has put money into and its really looking great. The Bridges course is more modern with better practice facilities but you cant go wrong with either one. The Lakes and Old course are in great shape but the greens roll slightly slower than the bridges. Considering the TERRIBLE shape other public courses like Twin Creeks, Ridgeview ranch and Woodbridge are in this place is a gem. Unlike those others all the greens are open and well trimmed. All the tee boxes are in great shape. A real hats off to the greens staff at these two facilities.

Best bang for your buck in N Dallas

This ser of courses is in fantastic shape. While other places like twin creeks, ridgeview ranch and westridge all charge way more but still have temp greens and tee boxes. The staff at both locations are great the carts are modern and even on a holiday weekend you can be done in 4.5 hours. Its worth it take the few extra minutes and drive to Garland.
