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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Naw just skip this. Weird holes, blind shots, funky greens. Played well and I attribute it entirely to dump luck. Front nine is brutal, back nine is playable. Not a good muni choice.

Fine for the price. Never busy during the week. One of the rare courses that actually offers 9 holes in DFW (most are all 18 or nothing). Great for mid week practice 9 - can run through in an hour or so mid week.
