Twin Wells Golf Course

If you aren’t white you will be kicked off the course!!! Racist course!!!
Course is by far the worst in the Dallas area.

This course was in unbelievably bad shape. It was a complete waste of $ 40. On every other hole you were either hitting off dirt in the middle of the fairway, or had to dig through trash to find your ball. I would not recommend this course to a single person. It is a true shame because it has a great view of the skyline of Dallas, but you are better off just looking at the skyline the whole time and skipping the round of golf.

Not sure how anyone can say this is a good course. If I could give this Twin Wells no stars, I would. The fairway has weeds, flowers and everything else growing on it. The rough and fairway look the same. Can’t tell the difference. I’d be shocked if they have a groundskeeper. They should give you a discount if you bring ant killer for all the ant hills it has on the fairway AND THE GREEN. This course is in horrible shape for the $ 40 I spent. This course could look great with all the land they have. Avoid this course!!!

The good before the bad: The staff was very nice and helpful, and I feel bad for giving the place 1 star, but the condition of the course is atrocious.
Found a deal online to play this course with lunch, cart, and green fee for $ 25, so my roommate and I decided to give this place a shot. Looking at the first hole from the tee box, I thought to myself, where is rough, and where is the fairway. The answer is, there isn’t a difference. The fairways are not cut and never watered, so the grass is the same legnth throughout. It’s a shame to punish a golfer after hitting a good drive in the fairway, where he then has to hit his second shot from that grass.
As for the layout, I was not a fan. Little imagination went into it, and there were a lot of blind second shots. And by blind, I don’t mean you can’t see the pin, I mean you can’t see the green, and you have no idea where the green is even at. This means that you have to have local knowledge, or else, you could hit a shot exactly where you were aiming, and end up in a hazard. Terrible.
Deal or no deal, I can’t see myself returning, and that takes a lot when it comes to golf.

The course could be really great, but it’s not. It’s been badly neglected. There was trash everywhere, the greens were horrible and fairways not much better. We only paid $ 25 each, but it wasn’t worth it. The lady at the snack bar was nice though.
It’s a shame to see such potential be wasted. There are cool views of the skyline and some holes had cool layouts. With some TLC this course could be really nice.

Since I can’t give 3 ½ stars, I will round up to 4 stars. I really liked the layout. The course is built on the Trinity River bottom. Large groups of pampas grass give the course a resort feel, while the wide fairways give it a links feel. The course is surrounded by large trees and the Trinity. There are some absolutely beautiful holes. The course is maintained like a British Open course (i.e. not every blade of grass is cut uniformly and the fairways have bumps in them).
I played the day after a rain, so there wasn’t much roll. The wind was blowing 25 – 35 mph with overcast skies. The high temperature was around 64. This was the first time I played the course and since the back tees measured only 6636, I played there. I shot 12 strokes over my average. Next time I play here I will try the white tees.

I went there before Irving got sprayed for West Nile mosquitoes and it was not pretty. The whole course was infested with mosquitoes and it was disgusting. I’m sure it’s much better now but that will give me nightmares for a few seasons.
The large bucket of balls jumped from $ 5 to $ 8 so that’s disappointing. The worse part about it is you have to get your own balls and they usually don’t have the large buckets available. The course is in horrible condition because the grass isn’t well maintained with tall weeds, divots, and hard sand. Holes 7, 9, and 18 were great in the way they’re designed with the creek running across forcing you to play it safe. Do note that 9 and 18 have the creek running through it but one of them doesn’t show it on the score card. The drive on the course was a bit of an adventure with all the hills and bumps. Oh, no cart girl driving around the course to offer refreshments. Then again, I wouldn’t want to ride out there with mosquitoes swarming the place either.
This course is usually $ 40 on the weekend but there are always deals for it so don’t play at full price because it’s not worth it. If you pay ahead of time, you get 20% off.

It is an okay golf course. When I went it was in bad shape because of the weather then it ended up raining. Other than that the staff was friendly and they were doing their job. I would just advise the staff to take care of the grass more because some of it was brown.

I’ll give this course a little more credit than most. I would probably put it at 3.5 stars actually.
Everything was great and the pace was fine. The bunkers, tees, and greens could use some upkeep, but especially the bunkers.
What really made my day was the super cute Asian girl that was working in the snack bar area. I assume she was still training but she’s great nonetheless. If you do happen to Unilocal and see this, shoot me a message.

Decent public course. We enjoyed our golf here. Staff doesn’t bother you and it is relaxed. Course and Greens in good shape. I would recommend this course. I’ll be coming back again and again.

This course is very dirty. Who ever manages this course has to do something about the pollution in the creeks. It is sad to see a course in this shape.
It would be a 4 but with all the trash around it has to be a 2.
I cannot recommend anyone to this course until the city cleans it up properly.

I made sure to wait a few days before writing my review of Twin Wells. I didn’t want my review to be tainted by anger and lose credibility.
I average about three rounds per month with a few sessions at the range when I get a free minute or two away from my responsibilities. I’m a budget golfer and try to play the best deals almost exclusively; so I don’t really have a home-​course that I play regularly.
That being said, I have NEVER been treated so poorly, so disrespectfully, in all my time playing golf, as I was treated last week when I played Twin Wells.
The man working the pro shop that day looked like a thinner version of Frank Collison from that show Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. I don’t know his name. All I know is that I will never play Twin Wells ever again and neither will my dad and my two friends who witnessed what happened. I would be willing to give Twin Wells two stars if the course was halfway decent, but the course was just as garbage as the pro shop employee’s attitude.
I called the day prior and spoke to an employee about using a voucher for a free green fee before 1pm. I always figure it couldn’t hurt to ask because sometimes if the day isn’t fully booked a manager will let 1pm time limit slide. I’m perfectly OK with being restricted to the what the voucher says. However, the employee on the phone was very friendly and said it wouldn’t be a problem and that she looked forward to seeing us in the morning.
I walk into the club house the following day, and by the look on the guy’s face I just knew he was going to be rude to me. I tried my best to be polite to avoid confrontation, and offered my vouchers and debit card. He snatched the vouchers out of my hand and slammed them on the counter saying «Nope! Not takin’ these! Can you read? It says ONE PEE EMM!» Forcibly pointing at the text on the voucher. I tried explaining myself but he interrupted me several times mid-​sentence with «Nope!-» He interrupted me over and over again until I stayed quiet to see if he had anything else to say and tried (calmly) to explain that an employee the day before said it was– «NOPE! I WAS HERE ALL DAY! YOU DIDN’T TALK TO ANYONE!» …Are you kidding me right now? Calling me a liar like that in front of my dad and several other people in the club house? Raising your voice to a paying customer? (Please note, that there were no flights before us or after. The course was completely dead.) I was looking forward to enjoying the weather and playing some golf, instead I was humiliated by a complete stranger.
If it weren’t for the fact that Twin Wells was a very far drive for one of my friends, I would’ve walked away and this review would end here. We decided to play and I’m somewhat glad we did, because I can review the course conditions as well.
They were atrocious. The ground is eroding away from the cart path in several places, creating a dangerous roll-​over risk if you unknowingly drive off the path. The cart path is breaking apart on almost every hole. None of the holes were memorable, the greens were extremely slow, and the tee boxes were in desperate need of repair. The surrounding scenery is ugly, and I feel the entire course matches the staff quite nicely. If I absolutely must say something nice about this course — for high handicappers this course won’t punish you too severely for errant tee shots. The layout is wide open, and out of the eighteen holes I only felt two were somewhat difficult.
I’m sure what happened to me wasn’t typical. I’m sure the staff is friendly to customers more often than not. How you handle easy day-​to-​day transactions is important, but I feel the way you handle more difficult issues with customers speaks volumes about your establishment. The vouchers weren’t the problem. I would’ve been perfectly fine accepting a no. Being treated like an illiterate child and disrespected in front of my family is unacceptable.
I am never playing here again. Gave my vouchers away in the parking lot.

Recently just played here about a month ago or so.
I’ll list the pros first since there are very few. There are wide open fairways, which is good for beginners or learning. There is a PGA professional aboard. And lastly is near The DFW airport which was great because I had to pickup friends and I go straight there.
CONS: (get ready). The staff was suspect, clubhouse (if you can call it one) and the Amenities were horrible. Don’t hit at the driving range in the morning! It’s facing east and you will basically not see your ball about 150yd out. Maintenance of the course is really bad. The course is built on an old landfill, meaning the soil is very unstable – lots of potholes, lots of rough ground, and the cart paths are always in poor shape. Beyond that, the course maintenance is poor. If you are a hacker and are just looking for a place to play and really have no concept of what distinguishes good courses from bad courses, then Twin Wells may be just the place for you. There was flooding, construction, unmaintined cart pathways, tee boxes, and greens. I have played on a lot more well maintained municipal courses then this. 0 – 10 I give this place a 2 – 3. Find better quality golf courses then this place. It is a shame because this place would be solid but it seems no maintenance is in place. Only should be a last resort. Go and find better courses like Luna Vista, Prairie Lakes, Stevens Park, and Tenison Highlands

Twin Wells is a golfing anomaly — it’s the greatest bad golf course that I can’t quit going back to.
Like most anomaly’s, it can’t be explained.
Everything is here; great layout, well designed holes, good prices, easy to get to, not overly crowded — that’s the good.
The bad — the world’s most indifferent staff; terrible phone service (when making the attempt to call for a tee time) and allowing anybody to tee off, at anytime, in front of a group that does have a tee time; the funkiest tee boxes (some are really good, some are so uneven you need to bring a level with you to find a descent spot to hit from); the bunkers — oh those bunkers, forget playing from 99% of them for they are no longer sand traps at all, they are erosion projects — just fill them in and make them grass bunkers and then you’ll have something. And what’s with the broken down mower on #10 — is it now officially deemed a hazard?
It’s the worst golf that’s really good or the best golf that’s really bad — either way, we’ll be back to pay for our punishment again and again.

Twin wells is a decent public course. The summers here can be rough and towards the end the fairways start showing the wear and tear. Most of the fairways are in decent shape and played well. We had a lot of rain the last few days so that has helped out a lot. Drainage was an issue in the bunkers so there was standing water. It’s $ 41 a round including cart. The course is fun and presents a decent challenge. The driving range is a little short and is irons only which can present a challenge if you want to go and practice the long shots. I think it could be a 4 star rating without the water in the bunkers an a longer driving range. I’ll be back to play again.

I really enjoyed my round of golf here today. It is my first time playing here.
Course & Greens are in good shape & we had a good pace, not waiting on anyone.
My only suggestion would be to maybe get some GPS’s in the golf carts.
Other than that, I would recommend this course!
