martinjr thanks for the review and the recommendation. As you mentioned the new greens are very firm but putt tremendously. They will soften over time as all new greens do. I hope to see you back at Rams Hill soon.

Stay away from this course

I have played golf all of my life and have NEVER been treated so poorly. Against CDC guidelines and city policy, the course "manager" tried to pair another player to share a cart with our threesome. I had an 80 year old man with me that did NOT feel comfortable with that decision. The course REFUSED to compromise. I decided to get two carts and ignore this shabby treatment only because I booked with golf now. The manager chased our group down and called the police! He also made me sign an order to not go on the course for a year! All because this "manger" thinks golf now people do not have a right to have two carts for three people even if it could be dangerous for their patrons. I called golf now and they said it is NOT their policy to force people into two carts!! Do not go to this course unless the city decides to change the management. Besides the course isn't in great shape to boot.

Good course

Fun course. The only problem is the first three holes has too many people looking for lost balls.

Watch out for #9

Good course but a few holes have blind tee shots that make hitting to the right spot difficult if you haven't played it before. 9 is Arnie's revenge and the hole is tough. The trick is not to worry about the tee shot. The second and third shots are the tricky ones. The green sits out on a peninsula so try to get the second shot inside 150 yards.

interesting with F-18s buzzing the field

The course was in good shape. The greens ran true and smooth which is pretty hard to find in DFW. This was my first time playing and managed to find my way around. Watch out when you cross from 13 to 14 holes...I went to the 16 instead of the 14th hole and found out many people do the same thing. This sometimes causes slowdowns on the course. I'm a pilot so watching the planes was icing on the cake...I had a good time and will go back! P'S. I played by myself and the staff didn't mind which is a major plus since many clubs do not care for that but Hawks Creek seemed ok with that.

Great course with great bunkers. The course has improved a lot in the last few years and is one of my favorites in the DFW for variety and challenge.

course was ok...staff not

very rude staff...tried to get me to pay 20 for 9 holes after 5 (although the greens were punched). He then said he could get me a discount of 22 for 18. I checked golf now and got 18 for 20. He was mad and put out (told me i shouldn't argue about 2 dollars!!!!!). CAZY.
then i wanted some ice for the round. Sure just 25 cents!!!!!
will NOT go back.
to bad since there are a few interesting holes.

great course that was...

the course is a gem...one of my favorites. The clubhouse was great but not used by the current owners. Nice lockers and shower facility but that was then....(5 stars). Now they decided to modernize the clubhouse by ripping out the lockers, expanding a useless golf shop, and getting rid of the showers (the muni way). Maybe its me, but i enjoy a nice shower after a round so i can go home clean. I guess the modern muni thinks i'm not worth it anymore. Fossil Creek seemed to agree. too bad :(
If you dont care about the clubhouse facility (i think i'm an old school minority) than go because the course is still one of the best.
