The best golf courses in Rockwall, 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Bent Tree’s fatal flaw has been its claim to not one but two of perhaps the worst golf holes in DFW: 7 and 15. Fortunately, both are getting some big changes from Beau Welling next year in the redo.”

“The golf course is challenging but fair. Probably too much course for most as an every day experience, especially when the wind kicks up. Staff is truly exceptional. For a high end club, there is a refreshing level of authenticity and down to earth friendliness.”

“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.”

“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).”

“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.”

“One of the best courses in DFW, especially that is accessible to the public. Lots of wide fairway tee shots, where if you miss you are punished. Awesome group of par 3s here as well. Well worth going to see if you haven't before!”

“Pecan Hollow is a gem in the DFW public golf landscape. Not impossible to get a tee time and greens are way above average for a public course. Pretty wide open. The 5 hole par 3 course is a great time to mess around with wife and kids in flip flops or with a beer.”

“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.”

“Course is in a good location but the green fees are a bit steep considering the condition of the fairways and some of the greens”
