Texas Star Golf Course
Played On 04/22/2017Texas Star
We had an awesome experience at Texas Star. From the time we arrived to the moment we left the staff remained extremely professional and courteous. The course was in great shape, my picture does this course 0 justice. There were plenty of cart girls running so we never went thirsty. The golf carts were in great shape and had gps to make things easier. Our green and cart fees included balls for the driving range. The first few holes are on the easier side, but they get exponentially more difficult the further you progress. Great club selection is a must, and make sure to take plenty of extra balls. My only complaint was that the round took much longer than what I'm used to, but in their defense, they were packed. It was a slower pace but the marshals kept things moving steady. All in all, if you want to play a beautiful course with a stellar staff, I highly recommend this course.

I had a wonderful experience here. They are in progress of repairing portions of the course but the parts that are under repair didn't affect me. Once the repairs are complete, this will easily be a 5star course.
Tee Boxes - Some under repair but in great shape on the rest.
Fairways- in great shape, they had outlined their up coming repairs and can't wait to see it when they finish.
Greens- Rolled smooth, true, and had a bunch of undulations.
Bunkers- Perfect!!! Soft with white sand.
Golf carts were in great shape, had seen the cart girl 3 time during the round.
In conclusion, one of the best courses I've had the opportunity to play on the Fort Worth side of the metroplex.
Lost Creek Golf Course
Played On 02/18/2017Lost Creek
It was a beautiful sunny day. Round lasted 3hrs 24mins. The gentleman in the pro shop was nice and knowledgeable. There was not a cart girl. The cart we had was in good shape, no gps, but the do have yardage books available.
Tee Boxes - Some were good, and others were covered in sand.
Fairways- They were in good shape for this time of year.
Bunkers- Good placement. They were hard and need fresh sand but were nicely raked.
Hazards- Great placement of the water hazards, and enough trees to make sure you shots need to be straight.
Greens- Awful, holes 1-5 were unplayable, and a couple quite a bit of sand on them.
We had a nice leisurely round never felt rushed and still finished in great time. The course has it moments were it really makes you think and great club selection is a must. If they fix the greens it will easily be 4stars. I only recommend this course if you want a round were you can play at our own pace. The price was on the lower side for the tee time we had, which is a major plus.
Cross Timbers Golf Course
Played On 02/11/2017Cross Timbers ** Second Chance
It was a beautiful day for February Golf. Was able to secure a 10:57 tee time for only $26, so I decided to give Cross Timbers another shot.
Tee Boxes: A little firm but in great shape.
Fairways: In really good shape considering its winter
Bunkers: Firm but nicely raked
Greens: In great shape, held the ball nicely and roll smooth and quick.
Play Time: Took about 3.75hrs, thankfully a slower group had let us play through at hole 3 and it was smooth sailing after that. Spoke to the marshal a little bit on hole 16 while we were waiting for the group in front to finish up on the green. He said that there was a huge bottle neck about 3 groups back.
They had a cart girl running but only saw her once through the whole round.
I was much more impressed with how things went this time around and will be back.
Whitestone Golf Course
Played On 01/21/2017Whitestone - Benbrook
I liked the layout, it was challenging and forgiving. Most of the staff was nice very nice and helpful. There wasn't a cart girl. Pace of play was nice, teed off at 12pm, walked off the 18th at 355pm.
Tee boxes- Ok
Fairways- It's winter but even saying that the ball seemed to roll forever no matter if the ball was on the fairway or in the rough.
Bunkers- Absolutely terrible.
Greens- had foreign grass growing in a few which caused the ball to jump off line. I dont think these greens could hold a lawn dart.
I would only recommend this course if you want to play a cheap round. I may give it another shot this spring.
Tierra Verde Golf Club
Played On 12/26/2016Tierra Verde
The nicest municipal course I've played yet. We were paired with 2 guys that were regulars there and had a great time. The pace of play was slower than I expected, probably due to a couple of fivesomes that were in front of us, but it was a nice day so we didn't mind much. We had a 10am tee time (Tee'd off at 940am) and walked off the final green at about 235-250pm. The greens held the ball nicely and the fairways were in great shape. I will definitely be back.
Thank you for the 5 star review and feedback of our facility and staff! We look forward to your next visit. Sincerely, Tierra Verde Golf Club Management
Tour 18 Dallas
Played On 12/17/2016Tour 18 Dallas
This course was very fun and challenging. It was very cold out the day we played but that cant be helped. The pace of play was great. Started at 10:54 finished by 2:40. We had also seen the cart girl at great intervals. I will definitely be back this spring.
P.S. Take plenty of balls
Cleburne Golf Links
Played On 10/29/2016Cleburne Golf Links
Tee'd off at 10:54 and walked off the 18th green at 1:50pm. The course was in great shape and well taken care of. The marshal was extremely courteous. There wasn't a beverage cart running but I was advised of that at the club house before starting my round. The course was challenging, I would recommend taking extra balls as they can be lost easily in the native landscape.
Decided to stop at the 19th hole for a burger when I finished and it was pretty good. The view overlooking the lake cant be beat. I will be back.
Thank you for the great review TxChive! We're glad you had an overall great experience at the course and can't wait to have you back!
Hidden Creek Golf Club
Played On 10/22/2016Hidden Creek, more like hidden gem
The course was beautiful. Tee off was at 11:57 and we walked off the 18th at 4:10. The staff was friendly. The fairways and greens were in great shape. The tee boxes were hard as rocks but playable. The only gripe I can have about this course was the fact that they had a 50% surcharge for a rider. All in all I will be back but I will just have my fiancé take her clubs so that way she can hit a few if she gets the itch, and just pay full price.
Yes, hidden gem in right. Always in great condition at a great price, $26 to walk on weekends.
One correction this course has Bermuda tiff greens not bentgrass.
I forgot to add, Be careful on hole 14. The is a considerable blind spot due to elevation changes. I tee'd off and landed a few feet from the group in front of us. Then on my second hit, the group behind us accidentally did the same.
BlackHorse Golf Club - South Course
Played On 10/15/2016BlackHorse - South
I had a wonderful experience here, and will be back the next time I'm in the Houston area. The front nine wasn't anything special, but the back nine was completely gorgeous. Play time was right about 4hrs. I'm still pretty new to the game so it was challenging for me and I did lose quite a few balls in the woods. I was surprised that the carts didn't have GPS considering the regular price to play here.
Tee Boxes - Great Shape
Fairways- A few holes were covered in sand, but that was because of a flood not long ago.
Greens- were nice but the speed felt inconsistent on a few holes.
The Golf Club At Fossil Creek
Played On 10/13/2016Golf Club at Fossil Creek
Price was nice for weekday. However we did have a Dad and 4 juniors in front of us (2 some) that refused to let us play through. Not a Marshall in sight.I love the late Arnold Palmer but there were just too many adds on the gps. The course however was gorgeous. It was challenging and very thought provoking. There are few risk/reward shots here that make it fun. I will definitely play here again.

I love playing this course. For the price, it's nice.
Cross Timbers Golf Course
Played On 09/05/2016Cross Timbers
Decided to play this course spur of the moment on labor day. My amazing fiance asked I wanted to play a new course and 2 hours later we were at Cross Timbers.
The good:
The course layout was nice, and I love the elevated tee boxes. The greens were in great shape. The pace of play was nice finished in just under 4 hours.
The bad:
It was a hot day, I didn't see not 1 cart girl and all of the coolers were bare dry. I had to send my fiance all of the way back to the club house for drinks. At the end, it would have been nice if the gentleman in the club house would have given us a heads up if they were short staffed or recommended we take drinks. When we got to holes 16 and 17 there was a very foul smell in the air, possibly due to the creek that runs parallel to them. The creek was packed with trash. I had high hopes when I arrived and left never wanting to return.
The only reason I'm giving this course 3 stars is because the layout is nice.
TxChive ,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We genuinely appreciate all the feedback and are happy that you had a good time. We are working on those greens!
