Good overall. Fairways need work.

Good overall experience. The clubhouse was clean and well kept and the workers in the pro shop were friendly. The driving range was well-maintained and seeded which is awesome to see. I'm not the biggest fan of layouts that don't have an "out" and "in" but what can you do? The tee boxes and greens were well kept. This time of year the fairways are dormant which is normal but many of the fairways had bare spots and hardpan, quite a few actually. Really the only "bad" thing about the course. Nothing that can't be fixed with care.

Great course

Haven’t played Iron Horse in a while . I was impressed with the condition of the course considering the time of the year, but we are in Texas. Greens was in great condition. Shot the 2nd best game I’ve played.

Iron Horse Course review

If you have the money and want to play an average round, then this course is for you. But if you don’t and you’re just starting I would consider a different course. The greens are very good, but the fairways are really bad. The fairways have many dirt patches with a lot of rockey terrain and need much improvement. As well, some fairways penalize you for being even slightly off on your tee shots with tree locations and green locations. Overall, I enjoyed the course but for $60 ($50 ish plus taxes) I would recommend a different course until improvements or the spring when the grass is more grown in.

Course has a great layout, just so much rough areas and hardpan lies. Several holes penalize you for hitting the fairway. Hopefully they can get some grass on this course because it used to be great.

Don’t listen to others, find out for yourself!

Still considering myself a novice, I found Iron Horse has its challenges but not overly intimidating. I will say that hole 11 was the most intimidating, seeing that it runs right along the side of the highway, a pull of the tee shot and your ball could wind up on I-820 (no pressure).

However, the reason for the title of this review stems from the condition of the course was better than expected. Considering a conversion I had prior to Sep 17th, and I would play and recommend Iron Horse golf club.

The staff is great as well!!!
