I never played Chester Ditto, which is this course’s predecessor. But I can say that I will be back. Everything about this place shows future promise. The layout was really cool, the staff was very friendly, and there’s lots of elevation change which is unnatural for Arlington. The green complexes are very tricky and if you’re not a good putter you will struggle. It’s summer in Texas, and this course is new, but it was impossible to get a tee in the ground on multiple tee boxes. And the beverage cart did not have a good selection of premium liquor or non “Coors Light” beers, which for $100+ green fee, you would expect as a bare minimum. But those are minor nit picks. Cowboys GC and Texas Star should look out, because this place is a real contender. When the clubhouse is built I would expect it to be on that level.

Played there last Friday. The welcome, bag drop and range were bad but once we got on the course it was fine. There were no range balls ready, and when they arrived ( 7 mins before our tee time) they weren't that clean and it looked like a 20 year old shag bag from a muni. Mix of yellow and white balls, some clearly 10+ years old, scratched and cut. No ice or waters in carts as we hit first tee. We played from 6600 yards (purple tees) and it is a tale of two nines. Front nine is 3000 yds of extreme target golf; water and bunkers galore. Second nine was 3600 yds which is PGA tour tip length and was an awesome layout. I wish we could have played back twice. The course was lush and green and in very good shape. But you definitely would benefit from playing someone who would play there before, especially the front nine as it is very deceiving. Or they should offer a course map with yardage from various tees to hazards because you had great shots in lose balls in weird spots. But the welcome and the range of situation has to improve for that money. That said it was a fun track to play on a vacation and I would do it again.
