Hidden Gem!
Never knew there was this golf course near me until I seen it here on golfnow. When I first walked up to the course I was treated as I was a paying member. Very nice staff! Course was in excellent shape. Greens are fast when dry! Food there was awesome! Would definitely go back for another 18.

Less then expected!
The greens and bunkers were very nice but that was the only positives for me. About 20 driving range balls for 5 bucks seems ridiculous! Course is very hard and dry, needs alot of water and care. Fairways were not good and rough was very sparse. Obviously the price on golfnow can be very cheap which makes any course worth playing once. Every par 4 is about 390 from blues, not alot of distinction from hole to hole.

Good value, OK, not great
The price was right and the course layout was good. They had a few memorable holes. However, there where a few holes where you could see a wayward teeshot from adjacent holes coming your way. I enjoyed the threesome I was paired with, as we were all from out of town.
Pro-shop staff was friendly and helpful. 19th hole staff were more concerned with making personal phone calls in front of customers than taking food orders and serving....
I think it was a good overall value and the pace of play was not too bad considering the level of play that low rates usually bring in.

Not a winter course.
In its day I'm sure this was a great private course. It has a great potential but the fairways were very sparse and the lack of water was evident in the dry ponds and gullys along with the fall aeration plugs that are still on the fairways. The greens were in better shape. Shockingly the sand in the traps was very good again evidence of better days. The carts are both electric and gas. The electric cart we had barely made it in and saw 3 times when carts were being towed in. Food was good and the staff was great.

Great course for the $$
Fun challenging course. Typical winter conditions. Kept up fairly well. Not a big clubhouse. Overall a very pleasant experience.

This course was in good condition for the time of year.
The greens were in good condition and for the time of year/weather, the fairways and tee boxes were as well. The only complaint that I have (really has nothing to do with me) the locker room smelled like mildew and there were holes in the ceiling where the tile had fallen down. Im not a member so... Overall, good golf course, and for the price that i played it for, I really loved it! Thanks, Golf Now!

small greens
I'm going into my forth year as a weekend golfer. This was my first visit at GCOD. My gut feeling of smal greens came to life when I came. Secondly, the man @ the desk could of informed me that the fairways were arerated. Third, the scorecards should have a graphic print of the layout of the greens. Had I not been paired with someone knowledgable of the course, I would be lost. In summary, "been there and done that"

Okay for the price. Not worth more than $20.
They were aerating the fairways as we played so that, no doubt, tainted our experience for sure. Greens were ok. About average for this time of year. Worth the $20 we paid but I wouldn't want to pay regular price.

Good older course, but just punched the fairways
This is a older course. It is a old country club, and has that old style feeling.

for the price, The Golf Club of Dallas is amazing. PLAY IT......
I have played some private courses, among them Las Colinas Country Club, Hackberry Country Club, Brookhaven Country Club and a lot of public courses among them, The Tribute, Old American, Castle Hills, Waterchase, Texas Star and for the price that you pay at The Golf Club of Dallas, it has to be the best deal that you can get in DFW. I played in winter time, but it is still an amazing course and the best deal in DFW. I have recommended this course to my friends and I recommend The Golf Club of Dallas to any golfer in Texas.

Loved it.
It has been 20 years since I played this course. With the exception of a few trees being gone it was just as I remembered it. An old style golf course not too long but a rolling layout with some interesting holes.

Great course, greater value!
I was looking for a course locally but didn't want to pay the private club rates. This course fit the bill beautifully. Got right on, play was moving along at a good pace and ended in a great round of golf.

Alot of room for improvement
-Cart shortage, players fighting over carts coming in off 18.
-Carts couldn't make it around afternoon rounds.
-Made 1:05 time on Golfnow, course had us on 1:14 time. Single behind us made a 1:30 on Golfnow, wasn't on the list at all.
-Starter ripped Golfnow, told us to call course direct.
-Very unorganized, mis-managed.
-Pace of play was ridiculously slow

lots of rain days B4
course needs help....probably unfair to rate because there was 3" of rain days B4 play....however no much grass on fairways...very thin...

greens held approach shots even this time of year
For winter time, conditions are still pretty nice. Fairways are dormant but greens still roll nice and hold approach shots. Pace of play for a Saturday was not bad. Even had all you could eat navy bean soup to warm you up after the round.

Glad I found it!
Most definitely one of the hidden gems in the Dallas area - well maintained - friendly staff - challenging layout - country club quality at a muni price - very walkable, which I find makes the golf experience even more enjoyable

Outstanding value.
Great old style course with fairly forgiving fairways and small greens. Accuracy important but not critical. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition.

Good track
Good solid track, not overly challenging and a good course for the price.

Love it!!!
The course is great. Greens are firm and fast, but roll true! You should definitely play here. Can't wait to play it in the spring time!

Well maintained...country club atmosphere
The course is weel kept, the greens are true for putting, the fairways are beautiful, and I could go on and on. This course is comparable to Bent Tree and Royal Oaks which I have played.

It's a gem
Played the day after Thanksgiving and had a wonderful experience. Greens are in great shape and overall course condition very good. Staff could not be better and this is semi-private...

One of the best values in Dallas area..
This course has some very good holes and only a couple of quirky ones, but they don't detract from the course. Overall, it is fairly wide open off the tee, but still has very good shot values. The greens were excellent; hybrid Bermuda; very smooth. The fairways are OK, but the rough is a bit thin and there needs to be a little maintenance around some of the greenside bunkers. However, the price is excellent. One of the best values in Dallas area.

Gorgeous course, A Marshall on duty would benefit the pace of all players.

Great Course, too many olds though.
I normally enjoy playing here. The only problem is that I was in a 2some and was stuck behind a 5some of old men who wouldn't let us play through. They clogged up the rest of the course and had me out on the course for 30minutes to an hour longer than usual. I'll definitely come back, because I've never had this problem before there, but the rudeness of those five old men was pretty frustrating.

Course was in great condition.
Arrived at the course for tee time and there was a significant delay due to a tournament. Proshop started us on back nine but when we turned they wanted us to tee off behind 3-foursomes.

Tough but Great Course
There is a reason this course use to be played by the PGA tour. The course is in amazing shape!!!

Friendly staff but too crowded
It was a weekday but i had to wait for about 20 mins to tee off even though i booked a tee time in advance. The courses are placed right next to each other so you better watch out for the ball at all times. It took us(two) 5 and a half hours. It was a great price and thats it. I may come back when im short of money but definitely not recommand to my friends.
