Indian Creek Golf Club, Carrollton, TX

This is a difficult course. 18+ handicappers should definitely play from the reds for a challenge.

As an estimated 36 handicapper, I always tee it forward and found this course very difficult managing only a single bogey and not even one par on my round.

I did however enjoy it much more than other Texas courses. I would even say it is the finest course I've played in Texas aside from the Rawls Course in Lubbock.

The course is made up of tree-lined fairways and plenty of bunkers and water hazards on many holes(it's called lake for a reason). The challenge is fair though, with a few short par 4 holes and reachable par 5s.

The front 9 plays very tight, with narrow fairways and mostly dogleg par 4s. In fact, I couldn't even hit driver until the 3rd hole par 5.

Overall though, the course was very fun. Despite shooting a 134, I had one of the best round of my life. Shooting a double bogey on the #2 handicap hole 16 was one of my favorite holes. A long par 4 with water hazards down both sides, it was nice to hit the green in 3 shots(blew it by 3 putting however).

I recommend this course for golfers seeking a challenging course or those who like to play something with more variety than their local flat municipal.

The only negatives I can think of are that the greens are quite variable and the fairways are bumpy, as another reviewer mentioned. The green speed really bothered me, because it seemed inconsistent from hole to hole. I am normally an excellent putter averaging 2.4 putts per hole. On this course I seemed to be 3 putting most of the holes and even 4 putting on some.

Still, the positives outweigh the negatives and the prices are reasonable for a nice course such as this one.

100+ degree weather and they wouldn't let you bring a cooler with ice and water in it. They force you to buy 6 drinks in order to "borrow" one of their coolers. And to top it off the guy who got onto us about it was a bit rude about it.

As far as the course goes, the fairways were terrible. I thought the golf cart was going to break apart going over all the uneven fairway ground. Also the greens were pretty much like putting through sand.

You won't see me back at this course again, especially when they won't even allow people to bring a cooler with ice and water in it. That is just ridiculous.

We played on a very cold morning and we practically had the whole course to ourselves. There are water hazards everywhere and stratigically placed bunkers. A few of the holes are straight forward but alot of them have you thinking. Plenty of dog legs and lots of trees on the sides of the fairway that punish bad shots. I'm pretty new to golfing but this has been one of the best courses in Dallas that I have played.

Nice golf course. Some hole are little bit unfair when hitting good tee shoots. I like the idea of been in a all green golf course. One of my favorites.

Great course, very challenging and pretty narrow. Service is horrible though. Clubhouse is run by teenagers who are either on the phone or not paying attention the entire time you are there. Also, they let 5-somes go off on the weekdays, so it can be very slow.

Come Play!

Used to play this course every Sunday evening at 5pm, rain or shine, heat or cold. Know every root, tree, pebble, and approach. This is really a very nice muni course that has generous fairways but still requires accuracy or you can get in trouble. Slopes and traps come into play when you least expect it. Its like the architect knew the playing average public would need to be easily rewarded and then sometimes challenged. This course taught me to "think" about game strategy while playing. Very well kept course, a little pricy however, but worth playing....
