Pecan Hollow Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
One of the first courses in the growing 1970s Plano community, Pecan Hollow started out as the Plano Municipal Golf Course. Don January and Billy Martindale, who had recently completed their signature Royal Oaks in Dallas, contracted with the city to help provide golf for Plano’s growing population.
The terrain here is flat, and the fairways are mostly wide open. January used the standard bunkers, water hazards, and trees in his design to cause problems for the golfer. The greens are of medium size and speed, and the course is basically pretty standard until you reach the punishing final stretch of holes. Nos. 16-18 are all 445-yard-plus par 4s with water in play–one of the toughest tests of golf in the DFW area.
Getting there : From I-75 north, take Plano Parkway east, then exit at 14th St. Turn right, drive a short distance to the course, and look for the entrance on the left side of the street.

A course with everything except a Marshall!
Per a friend’s recommendation we played Pecan Hollow and were very pleased with everything except the horrible pace of play! It’s such a beating to wait 5, 10, or 15 minutes every shot but if you can handle the slow play Pecan Hollow is a great track and very beautiful! The part I could not comprehend was with all of the amenities PH has to offer why would you not have a crew of Marshalls to keep pace of play up for the enjoyment of everyone?
sunny cool day
The day was a beautiful sunny cool day. Pace of play was slow because many came out in the afternoon to play after experiencing cold weather in the past few weeks. The greens were in great condition considering the freezes we have had lately. The fairway had dry frozen grass and some spots were muddy. The layout of the course is great for practice. I definitely would come back during the Spring.
Fairways have issues, 5+ hour round.
I have played Pecan Hollow 20+ times in the last several years, and this is the worst I have ever seen it. Rain, cold, and play, has taken its toll on this course. The greens were still very good for the area and price point. Without some serious work, it is hard to see this course getting back to its once stellar condition anytime soon. Took over 5 hours to play which didn’t help. Behind a party that had several tee times, that acted as they were the only ones playing. Staff is always good, ranger apologized early, but never followed up.
Play this course regularly and it’s normally in good shape. However this time, extremely wet around the fairways, without heavy rain on the previous days. Turn down the watering in the winter.
Very Disappointed
This is a poorly marshalled and scheduled course. Groups were scheduled too close together. Groups were too big. Hurry up and wait too much. Toward the end of the day, 2:00 or so. People were paying for 18 holes knowing you wouldn't finish. Rain checks should be given out for unplayed holes. I won't be back.
Great day but the golf cart gps system needs to be adjusted. The cart locked up multiple times while we were on the cart path.
