Have you thought about Prosper? It’s farther north and growing fast like the whole area. I have a buddy that lives up there and belongs to Gentle Creek.Frisco, plano, mckinney, allen

Yes I have. One of my coworkers lives there. Says it awesome there. I am considering up there too.Have you thought about Prosper? It’s farther north and growing fast like the whole area. I have a buddy that lives up there and belongs to Gentle Creek.
Yep, to put it mildly. As mentioned Prosper and Celina area are booming with new builds right now. Daughter moved in to her house within last few months up in Celina.Housing market is kinda crazy!
Housing market is major crazy. I am a relator in East Texas and it is nuts!!Housing market is kinda crazy!
If you like BBQ then you need to try Hutchins. The location in McKinney had a fire and reopens in the next couple of weeks. There is also a location in Frisco. Went to the Frisco location for lunch yesterday. Was told it is best to not even try to go on Friday through Sunday as the length of the line is just crazy! Been a big fan of Hutchins since we moved here in '91. Often touted as some of the best in the Dallas area.He also took me to Ten 50 in Richardson for lunch
I'll definitely have to check Hutchins out!If you like BBQ then you need to try Hutchins. The location in McKinney had a fire and reopens in the next couple of weeks.

Anybody want to get a round in on Thursday or Friday morning?
Well its official. We head to Allen end of this month. House closing on Friday. I will live walking distance (maybe?) to Twin Creeks actually. Any other recommendations?
Pecan Hollow is one of my favorites in that area!

awesome info thank you! maybe we can get a round together sometimeAs mentioned above, PH is a good track in that area.
I live further west, but my unsolicited takes on the tracks out that way.
Twin Creeks - fun track. Scorable. Shot one of my best rounds out there. Can get crowded at times.
Watters Creek - A decent track but has a few holes with tricky layouts that often ruin my round out there. Has a 9 hole exec course as well if you're looking to get around quick.
Plantation - Generic course cut through a neighborhood. Feels like houses are on top of the course. Average shape most of the time. Not high on my replay list.
Westridge - Has 6 par 3, 6 par 4s, and 6 par 5s. It is pretty wide open. Fun course to play.
Firewheel (Bridges, Lakes, Old course) - 3 different courses. Bridges is actually a separate complex. It is the nicest of the 3 courses. Good layout, usually in good shape. Fun to play. Firewheel Lakes is a tough course. Lots of water. Target golf. Can definitely bite. Old course is the worst course of the 3. Only played it once. The guys I play with rarely book it when we play.
Woodbridge - is a bit east in Wylie. I've only played it twice but loved it.
Heritage Ranch - Fantastic course. I think it's part of the senior facility out there, so times tee times are limited and prices are high for the area, but I love playing there.
There are a ton of good tracks in the metroplex. Welcome to DFW!
Of this list, I have played Firewheel Lakes and Woodbridge. Since I live east, I play Waterview in Rowlett most and sometimes Buffalo Creek.As mentioned above, PH is a good track in that area.

Congrats!
But you are too far east.
Go to the Tribute and All American once in a while. It's in the Colony, down 121, a few miles before i-35.
Recent reviews say the above are not worth the money,
If you want a consistently good experience, just keep on going down 121 to Texas Star.
Definitely need to get to Texas Star sometime soon. Have heard nothing but good about that one.Texas Star is one of my favorite courses in the metroplex. I played there a couple of weeks ago and it was in tremendous shape. And I was shocked that while everybody else has hiked their prices, Texas Star's prices remained steady. If I'm going to pay higher prices, I'd rather spend it there than courses that have jacked up their weekend rates higher than TS. (Looking at your Coyote Ridge, Sky Creek Ranch, Bridlewood, Tour 18)

I live near Bridlewood but don't play it -- I'm on the range frequently.
And if you can take the afternoon heat, the rates are even lower at Texas Star - $49 or below
Bridlewood raised their weekend rate to $105. That's just too high for that course. It's a nice track, but no way it should be 35% more than Texas Star. At that rate you need the course needs to be in pristine shape, with first rate amenities and outstanding pace of play. IIRC Bridlewood still does 8 minute tee times which is a recipe for long rounds when it's busy. Texas Star (and a many other courses) have moved to 10 minute tee times to maintain pace of play.
But I get it. Golf demand is through the roof right now. They are selling out at those prices, so they gotta strike while the iron is hot.
You're right about the twilight prices.
I haven't even checked on Bridlewood prices - Dominion operates that course. 105 for that course is $40 more dollars than it is worth in my judgment. What that tells me is that they don't want outside play - the members and range members get deals and they are probably filling up the tee times. I need to grab a cart and just play a few holes right before dark.
Actually, Advance Golf Partners (Advance Golf Partners | Golf Course Management - Our Clubs) manages Bridlewood, along with Westridge and Sky Creek Ranch in this area. They effectively jacked the "membership" price up more than double while dropping Friday from the weekday deal at Westridge to match Bridlewood and Sky Creek Ranch. The problem is, Westridge has none of the amenities that the other two offer though they claimed there was the intent to add those things. Basically, they wanted us to pre-pay for their capital investments.I haven't even checked on Bridlewood prices - Dominion operates that course. 105 for that course is $40 more dollars than it is worth in my judgment.

Did you sign up for their Practice Learn Play (PLP) program? You pay a reasonable monthly fee then get greatly reduced rates to play that vary with the time of day. Westridge has that program which is where I had the weekday membership for the previous three years. They priced us out of the market for the amount of golf we play ($18/round fee required - riding or walking).I only use Bridlewood for the range....
