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.

Good value for money

It’s hard to beat for 26 bucks, cart included. I don’t think I’d pay much more than that though. Fun layout, some tough holes. It’s very dry due to all the heat and lack of rain, but greens were rolling nicely.

Needs some attention

This course definitely needs some attention to the fairways the greens the areas around the greens. The fairways were very patchy. There’s a dry grass. some of the greens were good, but some of them were bumpy.

Great Bang for the Buck!

Course was in great shape other than the greens just being punched and a couple of soft spots around the course. Other than that, excellent overall experience.
