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?

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

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.

par 3

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?

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
