Pecan Hollow Golf Course



About this course
Pecan Hollow whispers tales of Texas amateur golf, a former proving ground for rising stars just east of the Central Expressway. Carved from relatively flat North Texas terrain, this parkland-style layout, designed by Ralph Plummer in 1973, offers a deceptively challenging round. Its wide fairways belie strategically placed bunkers and subtly contoured greens that test both course management and putting prowess, with water hazards influencing play on several holes. While Pecan Hollow hasn't hosted professional majors, it has served as a popular venue for regional and state amateur championships, nurturing local talent for decades. The layout remains largely true to Plummer's original vision, though subtle enhancements over the years have enhanced playability and aesthetics. It’s a solid test but caters to every level of play, though some say it favors a player who can move the ball right to left. Pecan Hollow remains a beloved municipal course in Plano, prioritizing accessibility and community over exclusivity. It's a place where the spirit of the game thrives, where the focus is less on pedigree and more on the pure enjoyment of golf, the perfect community resource and a great place to tee it up and play.

Getting there
# Getting There
Pecan Hollow Golf Course sits in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, accessible via Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) or the closer Dallas Love Field (DAL), each roughly thirty to forty minutes north of the course depending on traffic patterns across the sprawling Texas plains. From either airport, the drive south into Plano traces the gentle roll of North Texas terrain, transitioning from interstate commerce into the quieter residential corridors that frame this mature parkland layout. Private aviation options at nearby Addison Airport (ADS) or Aero Country Club provide a more direct entry for those seeking to minimize ground time. The final miles unfold through tree-lined neighborhoods where native pecan groves and manicured fairways announce your arrival at a course that has quietly anchored the Dallas golf landscape for decades.
