Course recommendation in Richardson, TX?

[NCST8golf]

Dallas area spies - I will be in the Plano/Richardson area on business for a short time next week. If I can work it out, I would like to squeeze in one round. Any recommendations? I'd like to keep it in the $50 and under range. Based on recent online reviews, I was looking at Pecan Hollow. Any recommendations from you guys? Thanks in advance for any advice!

I should add that I will be driving from DFW, so anything along the way to Richardson is fair game as well.

NCST8,

 

I would recommend The Tribute in the Colony.  It isn't too far, but a great course.  I think you can get deals on Golfnow, but I am not positive.  The tribute is the 18 best holes of the The Open Championship Links style golf.

Thanks, Txmason! $80 is a little steep for a weekday, but the reviews look good and the links style would be a nice change of pace for me. I will keep it on the list!

I grew up in Richardson, the best course there is going to be Sherrill Park.

Grapevine Municipal. It's a very good course. Lot's of area club members come play there in money games, etc. Just on the north end of DFW airport.

Thanks, Plaid. That one looks nice and had reasonable rates to boot. I high of 45 in NC today has me jonesing for those mid 80s I have been seeing on the Dallas forecast!

I travelled to Richardson for work a number of weeks last year.  While I was there, I'd golf at Firewheel Golf Park.   It was like a 10 minute drive away.  They have 3 9-hole courses that they rotate to form the 18hole course and the other is just for playing 9 holes.  I remember the price being comparable to what I pay in the Chicago suburbs.

On Txmason's recommendation, I checked into the Tribute course in The Colony. Found a hot deal on golfnow for $59 - seems like a good deal. Anyone else familiar with this course our play it recently?

So I went with Tribute course in The Colony, TX. Thank you, Txmason! It was a great deal at the golfnow rate of $50. Course was in great shape for this time of year and I was impressed with how closely they could replicate the Scottish links style courses. Really cool to play some holes modeled after what I could only recall from televised majors. Gorgeous views around Lake Lewisville. Judging rollout distances on the fairways and greens took some getting used to. Not the hop and stop I am accustomed to on my NC greens this time of year. Great recommendation - thanks for the advice!

 

P.S. - Yet another plug for Club Glove travel bags! My Collegiate held up nicely through its first flight. Bag is high quality. I was torn between the Club Glove and an SKB hard case. Thanks to much lurking on prior threads, I went with the Club Glove and don't regret it a bit. The collegiate took my sticks, stiff arm, Hogan stand bag, golf shoes, dress shoes, toiletries, and extra towels, and a dozen balls - weighed in at 42 lbs.
