Moving to DFW help me out!

[DaBigSaus]

Hey guys. I'm potentially moving down to the DFW area in July or August into the north Dallas area. Was wondering if anyone lives up that way and good course recommendations. I come from a very active Minnesota WRX area and we all play golf together. So was hoping to maybe meet some potential playing partners as well!

 

 

Cheers!

I no longer live in Plano or Texas for that matter but when I moved to Texas I knew zero people. Hung out at what is now known as Pecan Hollow. I'd show up early AM on Saturday's and Sunday's and get on the wait list. (They do not send out anything less than a foursome on weekends.) They used to hold a drawing for weekend tee times. I'd even attend the drawing (it was at like 6am Friday morning) and get a tee time. It was a worthwhile endeavor.
Also there was the "PGA" (Plano Golf Association) that had a weekend golf league at Pecan Hollow. I suspect the organization no longer exists.

Many courses to choose from depending on how far you want to drive and now you'll be able to play pretty much year round. Some courses give resident discounts. I play and practice most at Woodbridge in Wylie. They do a 20% discount plus a free sleeve of Titleist balls(your choice including Pro V's)with all rounds up to 2:30. The Golf Channel AM Tour in Dallas has a good following also.

Here's a link to the thread with a DFW Facebook group http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/951593-dfw-area-golfwrx-facebook-group/

Welcome to the area!

I'm down in the Mansfield arlington area. A little ways but I'd like to get something going with local golfwrxers. I've sent some messages out to other locals just haven't had time to meet up with anyone. Should be more available during the summer. Pm me if you ever want to get out and meet halfway.

I live in Frisco and play courses all around the metro. Met some good playing partners here on wrx.

I just moved away from DFW, there are quite a few really good guys there. We had a golfwrx get-together a little over a year ago, and it was a blast. I played with jaytee617 and nikonut. Tried to get out there with CosmosMPower but it never happened.

Our standard courses were: Pecan Hollow, Firewheel, and Indian Creek, but there are a ton of really good ones depending on your price range...

[DaBigSaus]

Cool! Thanks for the heads up guys. We're looking at possibly relocating to McKinney or Allen. So we will see. One thing I will say... It would be nice to have the ability to maybe play year round versus 5 months in Minnesota!

[CosmosMpower]

Those are both nice cities may get more bang for the buck in McKinney, Allen is a bit more high brow.

[SetTheBarrHigh]

I moved to the Frisco/Plano area last year There are a ton of quality courses around. I worked as a fitter in a golf store for the majority of 2013, and played quite a few of the courses around during that time. I usually play at Heritage Ranch in McKinney or Ridgeview in Plano now.

[jaytee617]

I'm in Plano as well, and second what a lot of the folks above said. Lots of great facilities and variety here, plus I've found that there are some really great courses here for affordable prices. As for looking to play with other DFW WRX-ers, we have an ongoing post about that here where if someone is looking to play they post up a message and others will respond if they are interested. It's been slow recently but hopefully we can all start using more.

[jrsparks]

I'm in Allen can play some weekday PM rounds and sometimes on Sunday. Have played with Cosmos and had a great time. Need to do it again sometime.

[CosmosMpower]

I have two spots available tomorrow at bridlewood 212 for 45 a person plus tax. Pm me

Hey Rob,

There are quite a few nice tracks in the DFW area. I live over by White Rock Lake and there is Tenison Park, just up the road which is pretty nice. Also some notables would be Coyote Ridge, Stevens Park and Indian Creek.

If your interested we have a DFW Golfwrx facebook page that is starting to get quite a few members. Soon we will be planning group events and could be used to find other partners in the area.

Thanks I will sign up. It became official this week that work is transferring me down to McKinney for work. So need to start house hunting and find WRX peeps to play with. Moving end of July. I'm excited. No more MN winters for me!

I live in McKinney, and was born in Minnesota. Get ready for some serious hot. In a couple years you will be able to say with a straight face "It's only 95 today, feels kind of nice." I use Westridge mostly, it's usually in decent shape and I like their large grass range. I'm the guy with the Boston Red Sox cap with a confused look on his face.

I live in McKinney also, moved here from Wisconsin a few years ago. What TServos said is true, after a while you will think 95 is great golf weather! It is a great area to live. I also play at Westridge and I' m the guy in the New York Yankee hat with a confused look on his face

I'm truly excited! I can't handle the -40 winters. So if I'm hitting balls at Westridge I will look for you guys. I wi be the confused dude in the Baltimore Orioles hat!

TServos glad to know there's another DFW-based Sox fan among us!

Check out the Stonebridge area, mature neighborhood nice houses and Stonbridge Ranch Country Club, that's where I'm a member. But if you aren't interested in membership then westridge, Indian Creek, Ridgeview ranch is ok, Heritage Ranch is nice...there are so many options it's crazy.

[OpusX20]

Welcome to Texas. I've lived in Minnesota as well. I love the golf up there (Hazeltine, Mineapolis GC, Chaska TC, Edinburgh, Minnetonka CC, etc.). Honestly, i think the golf is much better up there. However, you will love being able to play year round.

Cedar Crest
Buffalo Creek
Waterview
Firewheel (3 course)
