Reviews
This is an outstanding golf course and place to stay. The service from that staff is great. Just to be clear, this is not a 5 star resort that will pamper your every need. This is a top quality golf course, with nice lodging. Practice area- great driving range and practice areas. Multiple chipping greens, bunkers and a large rolling putting green. All in top shape. Food and accommodations- cool little club house with decent food. Accommodations depend on how much your budget it. All clean and comfortable. The course - this is a championship caliber course in great shape. The tee boxes and fairways are great. The greens are pristine (with a couple exceptions under repair). The course is challenging. If you don’t play the course, the course will have its way with you. Lots of planned shots and lay ups. The bunkers were placed with the intention to make sure you have a wedge game. If you’re bad in the sand, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to work on this. The course is quiet with the exception of an occasional cuss word and the sound of a ball hitting trees, lots of trees. The grip it and rip it golfers may struggle here. This is an outstanding place to play or plan a guys golf trip. They will take care of you!!
Though there was some beautiful scenery, they have lost my business. I booked a birthday round for three buddies and myself. Never again. 1. The Starter and Marshall is the craziest thing I’ve seen in a while. Two old timers in a Kia Soul who couldn’t find me on the tee sheet. Which took up my time mind you. 2. The Marshall was rushing us on hole 3 because there was a group behind us “trying to get back to Austin”, then again on 6 and 9. Yes, three times on the front 9. We finished the front in under two hours, we aren’t great, but we aren’t trash golfers. So, ruined my birthday round, I’m a local, for some guys from Austin, thanks! 3. You have to ask for help and a menu in the 1970’s club house. 4. No cart paths 5. No restrooms Go to Pinnacle or Tempest or anywhere in DFW besides this. Not worth the $600.00. Yes $150 a person for good greens basically.
I couldn't be more disappointed nor more deceived by Pine Dunes . The housing we were given. Was something you would see in a movie titled " The Projects" it was run down. Absolutely nothing less then being homeless. I was sick to my stomach . When we asked to be transferred to the newer condos. We were told we would loose out on the $800 we already paid. Every cooking grill out side were trash. Tables broken and flip over. Absolutely no tee box marker. So finding the next tee box was a hunt. Because 80% was dirt roads. I could go on and on. But im over it. Waste of time and money. The golf course facility is very out dated. Pls dont be fool by the pictures. And dont waste your time or money.
I go here with the company trips each year. The staff is very friendly and the course is a good mix of sand and trees. I enjoy the wide open fair ways. Greens were fast the day I went.
Expected more. Heard how nice the course was, turns out it should have been how nice the course could be. No water to drink, all empty. Nonexistent cart paths, most were sand. Carts were old with no gps. Club house felt like something from the 80s. Good course for 60 bucks, but not what they were asking. Doubt I will ever play again.
