I'll be visiting family for my Birthday and decided to use my one free round of gold through the Golfnow rewards program. I couldn't pass up playing a $169 course for free

Anyone ever happen to play at Dallas Cowboys Golf Club in Grapvine,TX ? If so, How did you like the course, the pictures look pretty cool.

Very cool!  I don't know that course, but I do the same as you.  I use my reward rounds for very high end courses that I might not ordinarily play.  I've maxed out at 10 free rounds this year and we're going up to Jacksonville to play the TPC at Sawgrass, and both of the courses at the World Golf Hall of Fame......fo free!

I use golfnow all the time and love it but am I missing something? The only free rounds I see are for hot deals. Does TPC actually offer hot deals?

Mr. Desmond

One of the better courses in DFW that a non private can play. Topography changes, sometimes links-like, sometimes parkland. Challenging. Different for DFW . Tough greens- undulating It'll be good if conditions good

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

Sweet, Sounds like fun. I live in Vegas, so anything that doesn't look like a desert, I'm more than happy to try out. I've also Played Fossil Creek my last visit, I really enjoyed that course.

Desmond, Can you recommend any more ? I was thinking of trying tour 18 or Golf Club at Champions Circle.

That's a good point, and worth a note. There are reviews posted on GolfNow for each course. I always check them before booking if it's a course I haven't played before, or in awhile. If conditions are an issue, that'll usually show up in recent reviews and it can sometimes save you disappointment. Even expensive/high-end courses can get iffy at times, or may be slow recovering from aeration....

If you book a 4 some, do you get credit for one booking, or 4?  I am just curious how long it is going to take me to book.

It only counts as one booking. What you can do though, is book a twosome and then go right back and book the other twosome for the same time and it counts as two. :-)

Update: The trip was awesome, I had a chance to play two other courses. Got to play G.C at The Resort on the 8th and Willow Springs Golf Club the day before I flew home.


Cowbowys Golf Club was amazing. Perfect day, other than my game :( The greens seemed pretty quick but the fairways were fair. It was a great looking course. More importantly the staff was top notch, best I've seen. The club offers all inclusive non-alcholic beverages, Food from their restruant and whatever snacks you might need during your round on the cart. Also on the 7th and 12th hole there's a very hot girl grilling hot dogs and jalopeno sausauge to grub on during your round.  The cart girl also gave us something called a Mango towel later in our round. It was hot and humid that day but the cloud cover was nice.

If you're in the DFW area and want to spend less than 200 bucks on a great day of golf/food/ and service than I highly recommend Cowboys Golf Club.

Here's a couple pics, I snapped on my crappy phone.

Off one of the Tee Box's, Very cool hole.

VIP Par-king!

One from the Resort. Fun Course too.

Is the Dallas club a daily fee, IE they include range balls and you can replay based on availability or is it typical per 18 green's fee type of event?

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
