Whitestone Golf Course
Played On 12/08/2023conditions going backward
We have played here frequently through the good and bad days and management. This current group has made drastic improvements to the course and, UNTIL TODAY, the conditions have been pretty good. Today it was difficult to find grass in the fairway on many holes. Appearance was of not being properly watered. However, there were many places where there was a lot of wetness including standing water off the fairways. Not much if any rain recently, so not understandable. Finally the cost to play a course in these conditions is unacceptable, even for the M-Th rate. We won't be back until we have reason to believe improvements have been made.
Thorntree Country Club
Played On 04/04/2023no sand
Many bunkers have virtually no sand in them, to the extent that the underlay material sticks up through the sand. Thorntree is one of my favorite courses despite it being the most costly of the courses I play.
But I’ll come by to look over its condition before playing it again. Shameful to charge $50 with course in current condition.
Lonnie Poole Golf Course at North Carolina State University
Played On 09/30/2021Love it
Treated great, course in great shape. A challenge for us 80s golfers. Pace of play ahead of us (on a beautiful Friday in October) was such that we waited on pretty much every tee and fairway.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Lonnie Poole Golf Course at North Carolina State University!
Riverchase Golf Club
Played On 09/25/2020Why so wet?
The most obvious negative today is the number of fairways that were VERY wet, as in stopped the rolling ball. That is a big problem for me at 75 and hoping to hit it 215. No rain for 72 hours, and bunkers were not raked. 4-1/2 hour round in that we had to wait before hitting pretty much every tee shot. The greens were a nice speed but had some problem areas. The staff was great and the course layout was really fun, with every possible hole configuration included. We'll be back, and if the course isn't soaked, I'll give it a top rating.

Thorntree Country Club
Played On 09/09/2020Thorntree is a gem
Our group plays all over the DFW metro area and we all really enjoy Thorntree. It still feels like a Country Club when you are on the course. Great layout, great shape, just the right variety and difficulty of holes for our guys who play between 75 and 90.
Benbrook 3 Par
Played On 06/11/2017Wedge course, primarily
This course serves a purpose; it is a place to take kids or beginners to hit some short irons without the issue of beginning golfers on full courses. The greens are nicely sloped, but are really show, not particularly well maintained, and half of them are essentially the same 100 yard length. Considering I play legitimate 18 hole courses for $30, this is not a bargain for an experienced golfer. But, it serves its purpose.
Bridlewood Golf Club
Played On 05/31/2017Great layout, terrible greens
My friends and I drive 45 minutes every few months just to play Bridlewood. The next time we decide to make this investment of time we will call first to hear what the pro shop has to say about the greens. Today the greens were simply beaten up - looked like they would after a hail storm. Perhaps the golfers who play here do not care about fixing ball marks, but the course management should. Every putt was an adventure; watching the ball roll was like watching a drunk walk - never knew which way it would bounce next.
I hope this problem is addressed. Bridlewood is an upper tier public course but didn't show it today. We can play lots of other courses with MUCH better greens for MUCH lower greens fees
Hills at Pecan Valley Municipal Golf Course
Played On 04/01/2016PV Hills
A quite acceptable muni for mid to high handicap golfer. Staff much better than several years ago.
Pecan at Walnut Creek Country Club
Played On 10/28/2015potential and problems
Our foursome played as guests on a promotion. When I questioned the difference between what the certificate said and what I was charged the Director of Golf promptly told me I didn't have to play there. What a lovely welcome to a group of guests!!!
The course was in really nice shape except for the bunkers. They appear to have not been raked since it stopped raining 4 days ago. For a CC that isn't acceptable; were I a member hosting a guest I would be very embarrassed.
Grand Oaks Golf Club
Played On 08/15/2014Friday round
Grand Oaks is on our rotation of courses we play regularly. It is an interesting course, not particularly difficult, but with a variety of holes. It is a very good value and tee times are readily available. The main shortcoming is the absence of yardage markers int he fairways.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, leese99. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Thorntree Country Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
