Nice track with some fantastic elevation changes. Played from the tips last time, and it was tough. Much more manageable from one tee up this time. Not much to complain about. Pace of play was a little slow, and it was mostly twosomes. Hate to see it on a busy day. Staff and amenities could be a little better, but that's just spliting hairs.

Greens were in great shape, especially for fall. Course is not overly challenging or long, but we only played the green tees. The tips may have been a bit more of a challenge. Hit lots of 3W off the tee. Most fairways were generous, and the bunkers were in good shape. Only complaint would be some chewed up par 3 tee boxes that had weeks of unfilled divots. Oh, and they didn't allow anything above an iron on the range. Not a deal breaker, but hat should be on their website.

Just an "OK" track. Tee boxes were trash. Driving range / practice areas were terrible. Overbooked at 8 minutes between groups, so very slow play. Greens are small and would not hold even short wedges. Small greens need to be more receptive. Unless you're a bargain shopping golfer, you can do much better in the area. Won't be back.

Layout, greens, staff and value were fantastic!
Bunkers need some work/upkeep, especially around the edges...lots of grass running into the bunkers, so edges were grown up. Range balls were below average quality, but other than those few things it was a great track!

I've played this course several times, and the condition is always consistently good. It's a good mix of tight and open holes, with the par 3s being the most picturesque. Some recent clean up of some brushy areas have improved the sight lines on a few holes. Range, chipping, and putting practice areas are well maintained. Clubhouse is nothing spectacular, but it's clean.
Overall, this course is always a good solid option all around.

Yes, it's out in "the country" west of Ft. Worth.
Yes, it's a bit of a drive from the DFW area.
Yes, you will think you are headed to west Texas.
BUT....
You will be SO surprised when you get there!!!
I play a lot of different courses in the DFW area, so I have a lot to compare to. The layout and conditions were well above par with even some of the top end public courses in the DFW area. Greens rolled true and have enough undulation to be challenging. The fairways are well maintained with almost no bare spots even along cart paths. Bunkers could use a little work, but I think a week of rain was the culprit there. There are a couple of long challenging par 3s and par 4s, with some shorter (less than driver off the tee) par 4s mixed in. All of the par 5s were different and each presented it's own challenge. Tee options offer something for every level of play too!
Good practice and range area, great carts with ball/club washers and USB ports, friendly staff, good food, plenty of Marshals and a Starter to keep things moving, and simply beautiful terrain with mature trees and native grasses.
It was worth the drive, and we will definitely be back!

Clubhouse is top notch. Nice bar/pub area.
Pretty good service and friendly staff at ProShop.
Very nice practice facilities with range balls provided.
Putting green matched the speed and undulations of the course greens.
Prevailing SW winds (typical for this part of Texas) coming off of Lake Lewisville provide the windy conditions that are a good simulation of true Scottish Links style golf.
Generous fairways make the course fairly easy, although the huge tiered greens will steal a few strokes back.
All in all, this is a nice course and one for the short list if you've never played true links golf.
Once you've played it though, it's just another course. There are nicer courses in the area for less cost, so it drops down the list for me. Try to get it at a discount if you go.
