Once one of Dallas’ hot spots for golf back in the 1950s and 60s, Sleepy Hollow has lost a little of its luster over the years, but still offers an interesting day of golf for those will to slip south on I-45. The former private club is now a semi-private facility, with every amenity shut down except for the golf. It’s like going back into the 1960s when you drive onto the premises to search for the bare-bones pro shop.
While some consideration should be given to the fact that we played after a week of intense rain, creating wild, unkempt course conditions, there’s no mistaking the ghost-town feel of what was once a bustling country club.
The Lake Course is the simpler layout of the two, playing only 6,052 yards from the tips with only one par 4 over 400 yards. Much of its length comes from the solid par 5s that average 550 yards. Two holes stand out on the front nine. No. 2 goes 529 yards into a sharp dogleg with a pond guarding the corner, and No. 7 is the long par 4, playing 425 yards with a lake along the entire left side.
