Worth a try

I expected more because of it’s design and history but all & all I enjoyed myself. Played along with a father/son duo and had a great time. The elevation changes throughout are spectacular. Most holes offered great views. Wish the clubhouse had a better selection of items to buy.

Don’t miss out

Although the the course took on a lot of rain, it was in good condition. Only the 10th hole was cart path only. Love the layout and challenging holes. I always try play when in town.

Shaping Up

The course is in great shape but not all the way back. All the recent rains made for not much rollout in the fairways. Today was the first day back from CPO. Even still greens were in very good shape. A favorite course for me.

Pricey Walk through the Trees

The GOOD: Greens were in championship form! If you have time, stop and have lunch or dinner there, you won’t be disappointed. Cash was great! The BAD: Very pricey to walk $50 + if you book on golfnow there’s the $6 booking fee! Huh!! The UGLY: Unfortunately this is still winter golf, everything brown and dormant, way too many bare spots of just dirt just off fairway. No overseeding to help, No water coolers on course, Temp was 78, headscratcher! I’ve the course in better conditions, if you’re looking for better conditions now is not the time.

Vegas Golf must play

Played the Sun. Great condition. Fun to play with many hills to contend with. The greens may not have looked it but they were in good condition and rolled true. Staff was great, off course amenities were top notch and the clubhouse had a great selection of merchandise in the pro shop. We had breakfast before our round that was very good.

Well worth the trip from DFW

One of my favorite places to play. The 1 hour drive from DFW is nothing when you can experience great conditions as well as a great layout. Opening of the Rooster is a huge boost. My only knock on the course was the bunkers. Some good and some not.

Get what you pay for

To me it’s a fun course to play. It has it’s issues just like most courses. I’ve come to not expect a lot when I play here. Some holes the layout just doesn’t work, some holes just can’t be improved & some make you say “wow.” Unfortunately it’s just the lay of the locked land.

Won’t return

Just as the title says, I won’t be back! Where do I start???? Notification of a nine closed, who does the responsibility fall on the course or GolfNow? NO EXCUSE!!! Prepaid for hot deal that really wasn’t when you replay a nine. Back tee box on some holes still had debris from high winds yesterday. Small sign about nine closed on front door pretty sad. I’m a 5-capper & don’t appreciate not being aware of having to play a 9 twice before I arrive, so I’m out.

A gem to not miss

Played cart path only due to recent rains. This course would get the highest ratings all around except the rain made some holes tough to play. I can’t say it enough, don’t miss out on this one. Layout is fantastic, surroundings are awesome and the staff as always been accommodating. I play this course each time I come to Orlando. Don’t miss it.

Top East TX Course

This course gives you everything you ever want in a quality place. Clubhouse, practice facility & friendly people who work there. Nothing needs to be said about the course, it’s no less than a gem. Must be played more than once to really get a feel for all the hills you’ll encounter. Big greens that require precise putting. Go play!!

Winter Round

This course is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the difference from the front nine to the back. Loved the hills, views & vistas we encountered. Would have been 5-star rated but no gps on carts made it tough to navigate for a 1st timer. Will play this course again, mainly in the spring/summer to really take in it’s beauty. One hour drive from DFW but sure nuff worth the drive.

Weather Logged

Good design, enjoyed the inside staff friendliness and starter. Weather was definitely a factor. Saturated tees and spots around the course which made it cart path only. No problem for a walker like myself. No gps on carts was disappointing. Greens were inconsistent. Some bad and others good. Would play again though cause I think when it’s in good shape it’s a keeper.

Dissapointed

First off, I was running late for a 5pm tee time; no one answered. When I there, the proshop was locked. If not for a gentleman sitting in his cart close by, I would've had to walk to 9th tee box; due to course issues everyone starts from here. Got to tee box & 4some rolls up to finish out there tournament.!!!!??? Now I wait another 15 minutes for them to move on so I can tee off. Well, by this time I'm very well teed off! No cart, had to wait for tournament & no course personal to be found. I walked 7 holes and left. Seems that tournament meant everything to them. They basically dropped everything for it. I love this course & I know they are trying to bring it back to prominence, the greens were actually in good shape but my last to visits here have done it for me. I'm done with Twin Creeks!

First impressions

Great hill country layout. Staff, starter & everyone that worked there was great. Had tee time at 8am, got dropped off at 6:20 & the level off service never dropped. Awesome!! Only knock was a couple of wet traps & 18th tee; this course is a must play for the area! Tough but still fair IMO. I'm a long ball hitter but playing with a local, whom the starter paired me with, helped with being conservative when I needed to. Don't pass on lunch, the food is excellent. You IPA fans will enjoy as well.

Good for the money!

Greens are great for time of year. If you're looking to beat the crowds, this is the place. First-timers beware layout is challenging.

Average at best

1st time on Hills. See why River gets more play. Could be as good as River, layout is good and difficulty is there. Don't know if staff wants the courses to be on same par or has the $ to. Spend extra $ & play River.
