Definitely a must-play for the DFW-bound golfer, Cowboys Golf Club is first-class all the way, and fortunately void of the cheese that you might suspect from an NFL-themed course. In this location next to the Grapevine Municipal and the Lake Grapevine dam, Jeff Brauer created what might be his most impressive design. The design rolls through some impressively wild terrain that is loaded with every species of tree imaginable, creeks, 100-foot elevation changes, and thick habitat. Fingered bunkering gives the golf course a MacKenzie-like look, which goes well with the natural setting and traditional design. One of the better holes at Cowboys G.C. is no. 2, a skinny 376-yarder that plays over a creek and features a spectacularly difficult green that is bisected by a pesky ridge. Watch the pin placement here and keep the ball below the hole, or you'll end up with a 5-putt.

Needs a refresh

I’ve played here at least a dozen times and always enjoy the experience. But the upkeep of the course itself continues to decline in quality. The range, Tee boxes, greens, bunkers and even several fairways just need a break and some quality maintenance. The rest of the experience is great. Staff is always friendly and service is great.

Love the course the only reason it got the 3 star is the greens were aerated and not the best I've played on

Worst value I've ever experienced

I have played golf for 25 years and this was easily the worst value round of golf of my life. For $240, my expectations are that not only are the facilities and quality of the course are first class, but also that the staff be friendly and helpful. I can honestly say for the price, not a single one of these three factors met an acceptable level. There were many dead spots on greens and teeboxes. Furthermore, the only places on the entire golf course where one could find fresh sod was off to the sides of holes near the cart path. Overall it is very clear the GM and greenskeepers are in over their head.

For a reference, I had the opportunity to play golf at Atlanta Athletic Club -- Highlands for about half of the cost of this golf course. The host of 3 PGA Championships, 1 US. Open, the US Amateur, 1 US Womens Open and 1 US LPGA Championship, which was in great conditions, cost much less than Cowboys GC.

I strongly urge anyone to avoid playing here at all costs!

Disappointed

I was looking forward to playing Cowboys because it was in such great shape the other times I played it.
Greens were quite rough. There was almost no sand on the bunkers.
Staff and food were excellent, but there are many courses in Dallas that are in much better condition for a lot less money.

Hi u102923201,

Thanks for your feedback. It was a fairly rough winter in DFW and I think you will see this throughout the region, but we expect the course to be in tip-top shape for you as the weather comes around late spring and early summer. Bermuda Grass thrives as the temperature warms up! We hope to see you again soon.

First timer

Me and my brother were excited to play there for the first time. So we got the expensive early tee time so we could enjoy not having to be rushed or waiting on other players. Unexpectedly and unbelievably we were paired up with some club members. Friendly guys but rushed us anyways which threw us off our game. Could've have a better experience if we played alone. Other than that we had a OKAY time.

Looking to Splurge?

I went to the Cowboys Golf Club for the first time today and had a great time. Definitely a very pricey green fee but the amenities and food made up for it! The fairways might need a little attention but is understandable for the weather we've had in the DFW area this winter but overall a very fun course and I will be back!

BTW I played solo and had my fiancé as an additional rider (The club charges $50 for the rider so they can also enjoy the all inclusive food and amenities) and finished in about 4 hours from start to finish.

Horrible condition right now

The most over price course ever. I’ve played this course many times and it hasn’t changed besides gotten worse and the price has gone up. Right now that course is comparable to $50-$75 courses around here. I’ve played it when it was $199 and in amazing shape. Now it’s $235.00 and in no where close to being in shape for a $100 course. Extremely upset with the shape it’s in.

Hi Hunnabug,

Oh man! 1-star... we hate to hear this. We did just come off a 12-day closure due to below freezing temps in DFW and it looks like you might've played on our first week open, but we do expect much better than you're describing and it seems we fell short of your expectations. Just this past year, we have made significant investments in our practice facility as well as reshaping and rebuilding holes #2 & #13 with even more projects coming in 2024! Hopefully we will be able to win you back in the future. If you have any specific feedback or comments you'd like to share with us, please feel free to reach out to us at the club directly so we can address them for you. Thanks for the feedback!

Save your money, not worth it

I've seen better greens and tee boxes on a muni course in August. Seriously, how do they not water their greens or tee boxes with what they charge? Pretty much every green was damaged in some way, the fringes were a disaster and most tee boxes were used and abused. The fairways were decent so can't say much there, the pace of play started of bad but got better and we ended on 4.5hrs so not horrible. Was just not happy about paying $240 for a course in that condition. what a joke.
