- Absolutely beautiful and perfect!! I've played there once a year for the past 2-3 years and every time I go I'm impressed. The golf course is amazing and is in immaculate shape! The layout is great, it's challenging because the wind is coming from different directions on almost every hole. I can't say enough about how well maintained this course is. This is one of the best courses in Texas! A must play!!
Comment to a previous review: who cares about the clubhouse, you don't play golf in the clubhouse! The clubhouse has no impact on the golf course.Lush Beautiful! Must see to believe! When I played it the course was in tip-top condition. The fees are most reasonable. There was not a club house when I played in April 2011, but who cares the golf course was happening. The staff was most helpful!Over priced, over rated. club house is a mobil home and which makes greenkeeper feel at home.The layout is great. MOST of the personnel understand the concept of customer service. As far as the course conditions, it was fair at best, with lots of green disruption and insect problems. The range is good with a putting and chipping green. Which, leads me to the first of my final thoughts. Charge to chip and putt? I would understand hitting range balls, but $10.00 and hour to use the putting green? I have played years of professional golf all over the world and this is the first time I have run into this practice. Finally, the head professional should really work on his customer service skills. He has the contact and communication skills of a Marine Drill Sergeant. Talking down to people and treating them as cash cows does not work in today's competititive world of golf courses. Too bad there isn't a quality golf course close to ND to make the management treat people respectfully. So, if you are willing to pay out the nose to play a great layout, you will not be unhappy with the course. However, you will be rolling the dice with the course personnel.A great twilight rate allows you ample opportunity to hit range balls and then get wind blown on this links-style course. The hills are sand with local vegetation and yes, it's like hitting out of a sand trap in these areas. There's a Day's Inn located on the north segment of the course with decent rates - no frills but after your round, you'll be too tired to do anything but sleep.
A little pricey but thats what twilight is for. I have played this gem 6 times & it always memorable.
