Gentlemen,

Thank you for all your suggestions on previous posts in regards of courses to play in the DFW area. This weekend a buddy of mine and I will be doing our annual golfing trip. We plan on playing Stevens Park, Coyote Ridge and Texas Star on Saturday and then Tour 18 and either 2 more courses or replay tour 18 on Sunday.

Any other recommendations for Sunday?

Also, unfortunately, the area has a cold front coming in so it will be roughly 55 degrees over the weekend. Are the courses going to be practically empty because of these conditions? (55 for me is no big deal given that we had 10 degree weather this past week in Chicago).

Thanks in advance for your replies!

54 holes per day at different courses in DFW over a weekend?  Good luck!!

I'd strongly consider Waterchase.  It's my new favorite in the DFW area.

Waterchase IMO is the best golf course per $ in DFW.  I will also vote for Buffalo Creek as #2.  They are both pretty tough, too, but should not be missed if you are in town.  Waterchase #5 and Buffalo Creek #16 will literally make you pull your hair out.  They have to be some of the toughest holes in the state.  Waterchase is very cheap because Texas Star and Cowboys (awesome, awesome course, verrrrrry pricey though) are right around the corner and more popular.  Although I haven't played there, Texas Star is way overpriced and overrated from what I hear.

Stevens Park is kind of fun but not in fantastic shape and really, really short.  A better option for my money would be Cedar Crest not too far away from there, and it is in very good shape usually with a lot of fun holes.

Tangle Ridge is fun but a little too pricey for its shape, and Tierra Verde is in the same boat, too.  They are still great courses if you don't mind slightly overpaying.  If you really want to do an amazing course, drive out to Possum Kingdom and play there at the Cliffs.  I haven't actually played it, but it consistently ranks in the top Texas courses.

Last recommendation, if you want just a downright silly difficult course, I would recommend Woodbridge.  The greens are so unrealistically difficult that playing the course is almost comical.  People that love a challenge will enjoy it.  Slope and rating don't really reflect just how impractical that course is IMO.

If you are trying to get 54 holes in, stay away from Stevens, Tangle, and Woodbridge as they are very slow.  Waterchase and Buffalo are always lightning fast in terms of pace of play, which only help their case for best courses in DFW.

I use this for all of my golfing adventures.  Some of them have been way off in ratings, but the majority are spot on.

Just played Bridlewood on the North side of Lake Grapevine this week.  Great course--the greens were really firm and rolled extremely well, and the layout was good and in very good condition for DFW in July.

Oh, and they had the hands-down hottest collection of cart girls I've ever seen at any course.

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By klineka ·

      Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
