Duck Creek Golf Course

Tee times were delayed because of lightning, no big deal. There were 5-6 groups waiting to tee off and the starter kept letting groups from the back nine go off in between schedules times. Got to the 2nd hole to find a group on the green, one in the fairway and three waiting. Guy in the clubhouse was very quick to give a refund with no apology (probably very used to this). He was cocky to be a glorified cashier. Garbage run course. I as easily going to be a 5 hour+ round at a below average course.

Duck Creek was built as part of a residential golf development years ago, but went out of business, was resurrected as a daily fee course, and now struggles to get by. The clubhouse caught burned to the ground in a fire around Thanksgiving 2022. There's no sign of its being rebuilt. The pro shop is now in a trailer. The weather in Texas has been over 100 degrees Fahrenheit most of the summer, and it shows in the baked condition of the fairways, (dry and empty) water hazards, etc. Cart paths are marked by lots of broken concrete. The greens at least are puttable. Layout of the course is not very difficult. The best things about Duck Creek are its reasonable rates and an ability to play very quickly if you get an early tee time. As the day wears on and the crowds get bigger, it tends to attract slower players of modest abilities. I've played it twice in the past 2 weeks and will return as long as I can get one of the first morning tee times and play quickly.

All courses in DFW are dry now due to heat. This was no exception. Some holes are very hard to follow for first timers.

Greens are in great shape. Dont bring outside alcohol. Not crowded

The course needs a lot of work, especially for indicating where to go. A picture of each hole is necessary at the tee.

The course was good but First hole had a long strip of sand 75 yards from green. Not good when you hit a good shot and it just gets stuck in sand. The pace of place was good except on the back 9 got backed up and left on the 15th 3 groups backed up. I come here because they always have times available but not my first or second choice.

The course was in pretty good shape. The greens were well maintained, but variable in speed depending on water level. Fairways were suffering a bit from the heat, but to be expected as the high later in the day I played was 108. The layout was a bit confusing and signage wasn't great on the back half, especially around 13. The "pro shop/bar" was a single wide trailer with a few racks of merchandise.

Only real complaint would be that I was in town visiting and didn't bring my clubs. Round was ~$35. Club rental was $50 and they were pretty old.

All this said, for the price and location, it's a good course to keep in practice if in the area.

The greens were in great shape. I like the double cut French. Fairways were decent. Great cars for the money.

I enjoy Duck Creek. Play was slow because of some beginners in front of us but otherwise it was 6 hours for 18 holes. Great staff and beverage cart came by several times. Good hamburgers! Course conditions are because of the heat - course looks good despite that.

Really liked the layout of the course and the approach and greens were in great conditions, considering our lack of rain.

There is no club house or on course drink cart, but really good golf.

The course was not in that great of shape. Fairways dry and hard, greens were the same.
