    Most polarizing course in Dallas. Nothing like it in the city (or state) and tends to draw love/hate reactions. I fall somewhere in between but generally like it. Despite that it inexplicably sits on some T100 lists when it’s maybe top 5 in DFW.

    This course gets oodles of hate because it’s the public facing representation of Dallas golf since it hosts the Byron Nelson. No, it’s not the best Dallas has to offer but it’s an enjoyable course with a few really good holes (9 and 14).

    Special place and a true retreat from the hustle of Dallas. The course is kept in immaculate condition and is typically near empty. Staff and service are world class, especially if you’re a member.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Dallas, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
