Lots of ground under repair on every fairway. This was one of the better ones. Photo submitted by Ken9948006 on 03/27/2023

Fun and challenging golf course
The course was set up with challenging pin locations. Also many holes can’t use
Driver due to tight dog legs. Fun to play, great value. Only gripe is some of the greens were rough on the back nine, but we did have a very enjoyable experience overall.
Fun Coure
Not a bad course. Better than your average muni after the redo. Pace of play was excellent for a Friday afternoon, out in 1:45, back in 2 hours. Greens are a bit slow and bumpy but it's a muni that sees a lot of play. Nine doesn't return to the clubhouse, the mobile hot dog stand is a solid touch. Cart girls running the course at 7:15 PM was pretty strong too. Might have given it 4 stars were it not for the greens, but it wasn't horrible. $26 Hot Deal minus a $10 tee time credit made for a great deal.
Getting better
Price was after a discount. Played the "horse track" set of tees, and planting the tee in the ground was difficult at #3, #14, & #15.
One even appreciates the course even more on #11 when you see the rush hour traffic on the nearby interstate.
Pathetic
I CANT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH !!! WhEN YOU PUT OUT FOURSOMES EVERY 5 MINUTES THE COURSE IS A TRAIN WRECK FROM THE 1 St HOLE !!!! IT TOOK US 42 min TO PLAY 2 HOLES .WILL NEVER PLAY THERE AGAIN
Too pricey for aerated fairways and cart path only on several holes. Should be discounted during these conditions.
Over booked
This course had atleast 45min waits almost to play 1 hole it took me almost 3 hours to play 9 holes. I got paired with people when I chose an afternoon tee time so I could play a chill solo game but they had overbooked each tee time so bad that even the people I had gotten paired with complained and said was common.
A++ Course
Great bang for your buck! Haven’t been back since the renovation a year ago but course is in great shape. Staff is very friendly and will definitely be coming back here in the future
August Iron Horse
Greens were recently aerated. It was necessary, they still played good. Tee boxes, PLEASE water them in the afternoon or add more sand. It is almost impossible to tee up the ball without a hammer.
This course has been one of my favorites
I used to love this course - and in a way, I still do. The course marshals are extremely distracting. Before they try to rush you along, they should check conditions ahead first. We were rushed three times and each time, we were met by 2 groups of 4 waiting on another group causing us to have to wait for 20-30 minutes each time. They are retired guys who are extremely rude and act like they own the world. I pay my hard earned money to play there and they need to recognize that fact. They are distracting and this distraction affects your game in a lot of ways in terms of concentration. They need to be better trained in their responsibilities and how they interact with the public.
Good Course - Slow Play
Well maintained muni; tee boxes were level, fairways were full, greens were well maintained, bunkers had plenty of sand. But it is a muni - bad golfers who have no concept of pace of play. Cardinal rule of “You can be bad but you can’t be slow” needs to be emphasized and enforced.
Good Shape, not great
Some of the fairways are under repair. Not bad enough to really hurt having a good round. But enough to only give 4 stars instead of five overalls. Biggest pain in the backside are the golf carts and the OVER-RESTRICTIVE GPS controls! One of the ways to cool off in Texas is driving the cart between tee boxes with distance is at full speed. WAY TOO MUCH governing on their carts now. OK to restrict getting too close to the greens, but they have some par 4 holes with wide fairways as cart path only? Please loosen up the controls!
