The best golf courses in Lancaster, Texas

“Tillie layout never gets old. Could play this every day gladly. Never played it pre-redesign but the current iteration is awesome. Worst hole on the course is 18 but rumor has it they have a plan to fix it. 8 is an awesome par 3. 15 and 16 are two other favorites.”

“Never been a huge Fazio fan. Practice areas are ludicrous and why oodles of Tour guys play here. Other than a scenic elevated tee shot on 10, I struggle to pick out many memorable or particularly well designed holes.”

“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.”

“Solid course with a handful of great holes (notably the scenic par 5 14th). Routing crosses Alpha Rd a confusing number of times. Bent greens roll nicely a few months of the year but generally play very soft and slow during the summer.”

“Decidedly mediocre and no amount of irrational fandom from members can convince me otherwise. The property is brutally cramped and numerous holes get super jammed up. Greens are their calling card but I found them dull and unimaginative. They’re all severely back to front.”

“I’m bullish on DAC…sue me. Blue is a perfect complement to gold. Fewer drivers, tighter, more about shot placement than nukes off the box. Very very gettable if you’re driving it well. Went on 59 watch out mid back nine here once.”

“Got significantly better after a big redo in 2023/2024. Fixed 6th hole which previously had a pot bunker in middle of the fairway and gave a delightfully challenging green complex to the previously bland 7th hole among other changes.”

“really fun course and gettable. conditions are some of the best i have played. the front 9 seemed a bit forgettable (respectfully) and the back 9 had me more engaged.”

“This is a country club not a golf club and after playing you’ll never get that confused. The course is kept in flawless condition but is confined to a tight piece of property where a wayward drive is likely to hit a billionaire’s house or the HP Village Prada store.”

“Horrible pace of play, 5.5 hour round almost. Conditions were fine ish but lots of repair going on, greens were solid I guess.”

“Hard to say anything back about the A.W. Tillinghast course. Layout is great, conditions are good, price is solid. Really can’t ask for much more from a muni. Hidden gem. Not on the public apps so lesser known means you can actually get a decent tee time.”

“Fairways stay in good condition and greens are maintained. Greens tend to roll slow and get a little fuzzy. Bunkers need work. Back 9 is hilly; still walkable but more of a challenge. Some fun holes with risk/reward at play, like the drivable par 4 #7 with water all down its left side.”

“Nice views of Dallas skyline. Usually fun, not too challenging. Layout a bit wonky. Greens are hit and miss (mostly miss). Decent muni overall.”

“Low-priced course (I think I paid $40-45). I think it's pretty good value, nothing wrong with it. When I played, the tee boxes were in tough shape though, and a lot of holes are pretty tight together.”

“Terrible condition. Fairways are rocks. No bunkers. Generally just neglected by the staff; there is a reason it is significantly cheaper than the Tenison Highlands course.”
