Aerated Fairways

Wish I could have known that the fairways had been aerated prior to booking the round. Brought in a friend from out of state and built up the golf courses' improvement since the rebuild. Just made it miserable to play in the heat of the day and not allow carts on the fairways. Now I understand if they were soaking wet fine. But at 4pm in the Texas sun, they were dry and carts should have been allowed. The GPS control of the carts is way too restrictive. Slowing the carts down on long stretches between holes is ridiculous. Some holes that run parallel, the carts are restricted even when you attempt to use the cart path for an errant shot into another fairway.

Nice Course. Rounds Take Forever

My first time playing here since the upgrade. Nice course and good conditions. Our round was close to 5 1/2 hours. This apparently is the norm on a weekend. Staff is nice and it's a fun layout. Waiting 10 minutes for every shot isn't fun. Don't think I'll return.

Good course, don’t play on the weekend

This course is fun and in good condition, however they always seem over booked and pace of play is at a snails pace. If you want to enjoy a round here you should try and play on a weekday. You’ll also save $20-$30.

Great track in great shape

Clubhouse and course were recently renovated. Both are fantastic. Pace of play was a little slow, although our foursome was playing Wolf. Great amenities with numerous cart girls and the cookout at 10/13. Course was in great shape, thick rough though! Definitely recommended!

Awful

Terrible course. They let too many groups out too fast. Holes are confusing. It’s like they didn’t have enough room for a course, but stuck one there anyway.

Course under construction.

This is usually my favorite course. They are currently undergoing extensive overhaul. Only 6 holes available and one of those is a par 4 that’s shortened to a par 3.

We checked in and only realized this course was shortened after we got to the 6th hole. When we addressed this, the staff said “there were plenty of signs and a notification on the website. Perhaps a verbal briefing when we checked in and paid would’ve been useful. Certainly, if 3 of us missed the sign, a verbal warning would’ve helped.

There wasn’t a start Marshal nor a mobile beverage cart the day we played.

I’m sure it will be a wonderful course (again) when completed but be advised of the construction for now.

Disappointed and Frustrated

I had NO idea when I made this booking that Iron Horse Golf Course is under MAJOR construction! Only the first 6 holes are open for play and there is still construction issues and a temp green on hole 6, changing it from a Par 4 to a Par 3. Due to the course conditions, the carts had to remain on the path at all times as well. Had I known the conditions when I made the booking, I would have chosen a different course NOT under construction. A refund or credit sure would be nice!

Terrible

No announcement of closed holes on this app or City website. Only 7-12 and 18 open for play. Some of the worst conditions I've ever played on. Construction workers were everywhere, someone is going to get hit by a ball and it won't be good. Close the course, but keep the driving range and putting green open, it will be better for everyone. Take that down time to rehab the carts as well.

Front 9 Closed for at least 6 months

This ones on Golf Advisor. I actually didn't play this course after finding out the front nine is closed. No where did Golf Advisor mention this. Would think that would be important to know.
