This is a good course not a great one. At a reduced price it is an excellent value. At full price it is an average value. It is about 8-10 miles south of Dallas on a major thoroughfare and easily found off the main highway. The course itself is very good for beginners - wide fairways, just the right amount of danger to add interest. The experienced golfer will hone their short game and shot placement. Bunkers have excellent soft white sand with good drainage. The course on May 7th was in good condition, though the ground was hard from lack of rain. Greens were fast again to lack of rain. The distance markers are ancient and inaccurate. There are no 150 yard markers in the fairways. There are big red, white, blue painted concrete circle in the middle of the fairway- not easy to find. Or painted lines on the cart paths again in red, white or blue - but not consistent. There are no restrooms / outhouses/ toilet facilities on the course except at the clubhouse. You will need a GPS and or range finder to know where you are AND the distances. The fairways are not well marked to provide a clue to the new visitor of the direction of play. The flags have prisms for laser range finders but we were never told of that signing in at the pro-shop. Carts are electric and new. No GPS on carts. No holder for a cooler. The grill gives you a plastic shopping bag to take to the cart. The driving range is short and is not marked for distances. They charge for a minute bag of range balls ($5 for about 25 balls). The pro shop is not friendly and not attuned to promoting the course for return visitors - lack of interest is the descriptor. Calling for a tee time, they are not interested. The locker rooms are in excellent condition. The restaurant /bar /grill is fair. With some renewed attention to customer service this would be a gem.

I went with my son for the first time, and we had a really good time walking 18 holes. I really like the layout, it is walker-friendly, and it is quite scenic. With the mature trees and landscape, it looks like a historic course that once was exclusive. The greens were reasonably fast and true, I had no problem adapting to them at all. We played in the afternoon, and were pleasantly surprised at the pace. My son and I are both avid golfers, and even walking we play 18 in about 3 hours if not blocked by others. The pace went very nicely, we hardly waited all day! This was a very enjoyable day, and I will definitely be back to this course. It is a bit of a drive for me, so wont go often but if I lived closer I would play it frequently. Great value, definitely a "hidden gem" in my opinion.

Played today with my playing partners (two of my sons). We found the course to be in GREAT shape. The man behind the counter was courteous and efficient. The greens were in fine condition. Rolled very true if you hit it right. We have played there before and will come back, even though we have to drive 28 miles. The only suggestion I have would be to cut the rough just off the fairway a little shorter in order to speed up play. Also, for us old-timers, there is a lot of history here (Oak Cliff Country Club). I usually dont right reviews but thought this course deserved it.

This is a great course which I would recommend everyone play. The condition of the course was very good and the staff very friendly. The one thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is pace of play. We played on August 16, 2014 and it was a 5 hour round. The on course marshal mentioned to us that the group two groups in front of us was two holes behind but he did nothing to fix the problem. He said it was a group of members so I guess he is not permitted to have them skip a hole or let others play through. I will play again but only on a weekday as 5 hours is excessive.

We have come to enjoy this course very much. While its not the "County Club" it once was, its one of the best golf values in Dallas. Currently, the course is in above average condition w/ very good greens and adequate fairways. Phil and his staff always make us feel welcome and are very easy to work w/ getting tee times and scheduling. Wed recommend this course to anyone who enjoys a good challenge, a piece of Dallas golf history and a fun round of golf. Thanks to GCOD for the good work...................David G.

I played this golf course Easter weekend, 2016, and I couldnt be less impressed with the maintenance. Were at the end of March in a year with historic rainfalls, and somehow the course is dried out, dead and utterly miserable. This has historically been one of my favorite municipal golf courses in Dallas, but management is running this one into the ground. Would not play again unless convinced theres been significant upgrades.

Previously a private club that has gone public. Course conditions are fairly challenging for the average golfer and as good as or better than other municipal courses in town. Green fees are reasonable and equipment is satisfactory. The clubhouse is a little tired and dated but the restaurant serves a decent meal and sandwiches for takeout. Its a very viable alternative for Stevens Park or Cedar Crest Golf Course.

Feb. 21, 2016- The course had a nice layout; holes had some character, much more so than many other courses in the area. The pace of play was very slow but somewhat anticipated on a Saturday. Playing in February, the course was dormant and brown; the greens were surprisingly slow and a little hairy. I would be interested in playing again later in the Spring once the grass is healthy.

The golf course is a beauty. It has some of the best topography in the metroplex ( Dallas Nat. would be #1 in that dept.). The tees and fairways are excellent, basically always, and the greens are receptive and typically very quick. This is a challenging course, especially in wind, but always fun to play. The TREES are awesome!

Classic course with good pace of play and a very friendly staff. Much better than the local Dallas munis. You wont confuse it with Cowboys Golf Club and sure, it could use some TLC here and there. Overall a very enjoyable place to play golf where you wont break the bank playing

Absolutely dont play here. Take your $40 somewhere else. By the way, we had to rent clubs and were charged $45 per rental set and one set had R7s. Yes, more than the cost to play. The club house resembles a mid 70s funeral home at best.

Great golf course, always in great shape. I grew up in Oak Cliff and remember Oak Cliff Country Club. I have played this course since the early 90s, and love it just as much today as I did in the 90s. Just played it yesterday 08-05-15.

Tough from the back tees, course was in good condition two years ago. Played in a senior amateur qualifying event. Only complaint was the shop charged me $30-$35 for a shared cart, I thought that was outrageous.

My husband and I played on 9/10/15. Course is in great shape. Greens roll true. Price is awesome! Difficult course and challenging. We will play here many many more times. Highly recommend this place. ⛳️
