The best private courses in Westlake, 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.”

“One of the smoother walks in golf, Colonial is a special historic course. The Perry Maxwell design, with Hanse Reno is just a fantastic combo of architects. It’s a tough course that is just very hard to overpower.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The OCM redesign is charming, playable, visually appealing, and delightful. I’m very surprised this course doesn’t get more attention on best of Texas lists given the club’s illustrious history and layout.”

“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.”

“Trees are the main challenge on the course, holes present some different challenges with dog legs but no elevation change or water, few sand traps only around the greens. Greens were pure. Pace of play was terrific.”

“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.”

“Tight fairways, small greens, and a little wind and the course can play very difficult.”

“Kind of a dog track, but a well-maintained dog track. Got roped into playing here a few times with customers who lived nearby. There's nothing special about this place at all, it's actually kind of boring.”
