They’ve done a wonderful job designing the east, it’s significantly tougher than the west thanks to smaller greens and difficult bunkers

Awful caddies made it worse but Compared to any other course in this price range, it feels the least like a T100 course. Many holes run together, only 2-3 truly memorable ones. Would be better if they turned it up a bit and leaned into being difficult.

The course saves it’s difficult for 100 yards and in. Greens rolled well but could have been more consistent.

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.

I think it’s pretty fun. Typically slow, hard to keep condition up with the amount of play. Wouldn’t pay full rate as they do lots of deals

Played yesterday and it is extremely loud on the course from the trucks at landfill that sits beside the back 9. Has quite a bit of potential but understaffed.

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

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.
