I will be in Dallas, TX May 31 and June 1 and may be staying the weekend. I'm wondering if anyone has any course recommendations. I don't know if I'll be renting a car, so close proximity to the Dallas area would be helpful. I've never been to Dallas. I'll be staying near the "Galleria Dallas" if that's helpful.

Thanks!

ok...here's the scoop...

Bridlewood is good, but it's not nearly the best.

The Tribute is the highest ranked. It's a collection of scottish replicas and they are extremely close to actual. Cowboys is probably second, but usually higher priced. Bridlewood is good, Tour 18 would be great, but the condition is suspect.

All 4 of those are about 30 minutes from the Galleria, I live just north of the Galleria and it's mostly Private courses around there. Maybe try Firewheel in Garland, Twin Creeks in Allen.

However, if I was playing in Dallas and had 1 round it would be the Tribute followed closely by Cowboys. Whenever I have guests in town and we don't want to play our club, I take them to those 2. Bridlewood wouldn't have that much of a memory in terms of the holes.

I played Twin Creeks that same weekend that I played Bridlewood. Twin Creeks was a nice course, but was rock hard. Maybe all the rain has softened it up, but I wasn't impressed by the fairways and on how hard the greens were.

If you have any connections, I highly recommend the TPC - Craigs Ranch. Solid course.

I agree on Bridlewood...little bit better than Twin Creeks. TPC at Craig's Ranch is outstanding, but private.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
