The Tribute Golf Club Review

Greens were just punched but the pro shop failed to share this information before we started our round. Great course, but not worth $100+ when the greens are in that shape.

The staff was great and course was fun to play. Prices are a little high for this time of year ($129) but would be fine during the main part of the season. Overall the course was challenging at times but still had a fun time.

Great facility and staff. Course is in great shape right now.

This is a great course! Our Keller Williams Realty office has had several charity tournaments here and the staff and facilities are always top notch.

nothing like hitting balls. on a driving range. love it. i am a retired Pga of America pro. now in real estate. lets chat sometime.

Love this course, it is so peaceful and serene with some of the prettiest views on any golf course in all of Dallas!

Wonderful condition, even though the greens are still coming back from being punched. Staff and organized well for playing safely.

This is a great golf course ! First class operation.

Course was in immaculate conditions. Unfortunately there is no shade what's so ever. Half the water containers were empty and cart service came around twice in a 5 hour round!! If you have patience for the slow play and give it a whirl but bring plenty of refreshments from home.

Course is beginning to show a lot of wear and tear from sinking soil and lack of TLC. They could really benefit from a 90 degree policy or an entrance/exit gate system. Lots of places where the grass doesn t transition well to the cart path and a very bumpy ride entering and exiting most fairways. Jackie is very friendly at check-in...she does a great job making people feel welcome! Beer prices are pretty steep!

Had many issues on may 11th tried to talk to the golf manager and he will not respond to listen to my issues expected more from a club like this!

Beautiful course. Felt like I was in the old country.

Golf course itself was in very nice shape. Amenities and non-grass related maintenance were not. 9ish tee time, no water in jugs on early holes, no bunkers raked, first saw the beverage cart a bit after 11 AM but blew right past us, sand bottle refills were empty... it seemed they are understaffed yet lots of maintenance workers on the course. Worth a discounted (Ideal Golfer) round. Full price would have stung a bit.

It's the most beautiful place to play and the service is excellent

Huge golf place with refreshments and also party halls available for rent with an average seating capacity of 200-250 ppl.

Golfers beware! They run great marketing campaigns to get you out there but they operationally cannot handle the amount of golfers. Tee'd off at 1:12pm and 4hrs 34mins later we were finally at Hole 16! Had to leave because daylight ran out. Went to tell someone at the pro shop and it was closed by 6pm with at least 30 golfers still on the course! All I can say is Wow! won't be back...ever! I'm a 1 handicap.

Nice course. Friendly staff especially Ron who set me up with Players membership on July 4th. Enjoyed my first round of golf earlier today.

I'm an advid golfer with a 7.2 handicap. First let me say this was the most difficult course I have ever played. Keeping the ball in play off the tee helps, however the greens were incredibly fast and of you weren't on the correct quadrant of the green you better be have good touch because the ball will roll off on downhill putts. The amenities are wonderful and the views, spectacular!

I have wanted to play this course for a long time. I guess the British Open got me wanting to play the links style course. Greens and fairways were immaculate. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Club house knew it was my first time there and gave some very helpful tips. Played on a Sunday, the only real complaint was it was packed. But it was the weekend and a popular course. Will definitely be back.

Great place for events with nice view of greens. The buffet had great choices if good, but refilling and busing service was slow. Decor and atmosphere is cozy.

Not a bad golf course, but not worth the cost. I was a players club member until new ownership.

Let me start by saying that I genuinely love this course based on previous experiences here.

I recently played in a tournament here and the overall course and practice facilties were not up to the tribute standard. I'm not sure what has happened but the management team is not watching after the course. My overall experience was not worth the price paid. I truly hope someone from their team reads this review because I really love the concept of the tribute.

What would I correct? Basic things like ensuring the greens roll true and aren't damaged due to lack of maintenance. Useable golf balls at your practice facility. Also, bring back the bagpipes.

What I wouldn't change? Overall, the staff is excellent. Very friendly.

Great history on each hole from some of golf's most distinguished places. Easy play with wide fairways.

Course was in great shape. Wind even cooperated for us.

What a wonderful idea to create a replica course! This was a very special experience for my son and I. The fairways are wide open for me, the higher handicapper and the greens we're a fun challenge for my 2 handicap son. He says the greens are fast and bumpy just like in Scotland. Good stuff guys, staff was great as well...

OK, so the 1st and 18th are cool. Very similar to St Andrews. But that's about it. The rest was a disappointment. For a low handicapper there's nothing in this course. Most of the tee shots you may as well be on the driving range. 50-60 yard fairways and even off the back tees the bunkers really aren't in play. And it's so not like Scotland. Not much run, soft bent greens and shallow bunkers. For business visitors to Dallas, like me, looking to play some golf in the late afternoon, Texas Star, Tierra Verda, WaterChase, Tangle Ridge and Tennison Park are not only better golf courses, but more than 50% cheaper. For what its worth, I've played 13 public courses in Dallas the last 2 weeks. The best conditioned, most challenging, and best value for money course I've played is WaterChase. Tierra Verda is a close second followed by Texas Star. The worst - Old American, followed by Iron Horse and The Tribute

Loved the course, the staff? Not so much. Most of the people I spoke to were dismissive and a couple were downright rude. When the group behind us hit into us while we were waiting for the green to clear, the marshal told us to pick it up and that wouldn t happen!!! Sorry, but I will not be back.

Tough layout, really cool playing famous holes and the wind & water gives it a true links feel.

I play out there frequently and the course is always in great shape. Greens roll well, and everyone is always nice. I remember my first trip out there I got lost on the way and the staff in the golf shop was very helpful in guiding me there. If you are going to play anywhere in DFW you have the play The Tribute.

Played here about a year ago, wasn't impressive, thus never returned here...

Beautiful golf course with great staff. Membership deals that are hard to beat anywhere in fact I just became a member.

Absolute beautiful course. It is a must play for sure. The rain this year has caused a little flooding, but who cares. It is still in great condition, and one of the best.

Amazing golf course and design, great clubhouse and truly and Irish feel to the entire place. Also by the lake and feels like an escape from Dallas, just what we need! The reason for 4 stars is that they ve made the access to the club cheap, and the last three times I ve played the course has been in much worse shape than before, with lots of people. I get the decision and it s probably allowed them to do better, but it s a bummer for a player who would prefer to pay more for a fast experience. The course isn t in bad shape, but the greens show the wear.

I had prepaid using the golfnow app. Due to rona, check in has handled outside. The community and surrounding area is on the upper end. Very nice area. The twosome we were paired with were late so we played as a twosome. The course staff did a great job getting everyone teeing off on time, I don't think there was a starter that day but it just went smoothly. Pace of play was a little slow due to the course being full. The Tribute is such a long drive for us, but we've been want to play it. We loved the course and enjoyed the round. The course was in great shape and the overall course had a good layout. I would recommend playing Tribute! We will have to get back out to The Colony soon.

NOT worth $129. No ball washers ("it's hard to keep them full"), food is terrible, conditions slowly deteriorating. For the players club price it's fine, but not full price

One of the coolest golf courses I ve ever played. Very undulating, firm greens but roll true. Fairways in great condition. Would definitely recommend.

First time here. I attended a wedding. It is a neat place. A little hidden and out of the way but it is pretty and the wait staff was great.

Course was in great shape. Only saw the cart girl twice. Once on hole 3 and once on hole 16?

This is one fantastic golf course. Playing it one week after the LPGA was here certainly made it play tougher then normal but it was still a great experience. The staff was great from the pro shop to the bar staff. If you are in the area don't miss playing here.

This is a great course if you're a high handicapper like me and want to improve your game (and score). The course takes 18 of the most famous links style holes from some of the most famous courses on the other side of the pond. Most holes have wide open fairways so if you sometimes spray it off the tee you won't be penalized so much. Greens can be difficult to read, with some faster than others and alot of undulations but overall the course is very forgiving and a great course to enjoy golf. The clubhouse is nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I will be back if I'm in the area again.

Absolutely a great Links Style Course in the North Dallas area. Greens were punched and sanded 10-14 days prior. Greens were in great shape with exception of raised mower cuts. Ball rolled slow and because of this, did not roll true to the undulation of the green. Fairways were in great shape and never had a bad lie. Second Cut was thick but still playable. My Foursome played in just under 4.5 hours with slight delays.
Only COMPLAINT...for $100 round, I would expect GPS on Carts. Yardage markers on sprinkler heads were few and far between. GPS would give a nice overview of the hole and help calculate yardage quickly thus increase the pace of play.

Great place for celebrating birthdays and weddings.

Favorite golf course I've ever played, greens fantastic

Previously had a very negative customer service incident with this course. However, went back last week and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The course is in decent shape except for the greens and tee boxes. The greens used to be bent grass and are now Bermuda. They are very bumpy and even the starter warned us that they need another season to mature. The tee boxes are quite rounded from being repeatedly sanded. Also, had to hit off mats at the driving range for some odd reason. The ground was not wet so not sure what that was about. In all, the course is okay but I still say it is not at all worth the $129 or even $89 rates. They have specials that are worth looking at.

After the redo. Best course I have played in North Texas. The team have done a fantastic job this last summer fixing the greens. Wow! felt like I was in Scotland.

Amazing course with replica holes of the European greats. We had extremely tough pin placements that made the round so hard but it was a ton of fun. Perfect conditions fast, true greens and rolling fairways. Can't wait to go back.

Love the course. The staff are incredibly rude and messed up my tee time. I drove an hour for nothing...

Id give it 5 stars but the staff kinda ruined the day. First of all practice balls were supposed to be included i n the price. Get to the driving range and they had just closed it but the person inside said it was open. Then we head to the starter and they said they didnt have us on the schedule but we booked and payed days in advance, so stuck another guy with us. The cartpath only sucked, and it wasnt even wet out. Course was in beautiful shape? And the layout was great . On hole 11 we were told to "Hurry up" because our 4 some wasnt keeping up with the 2 some which was only 1 hole ahead of us. AND WE WERE ONKY AN HOIR AND A HALF INTO OUR ROUND ON HOLE 11!!! Im sorry but that was disrespectful and rude, conisdering we were playing way faster than a normal round. Overal course was 4 stars but the ranger needs some common sense on pace of play.

We hosted a 16 person golf tourney here in November. Cody the Pro and staff were A+. I recommend this course for beauty, fast greens, and great service.

It's in fantastic shape right now. Greens were punched recently but still rolled pretty well. Would play again!

The greens and fairways were in great shape. We didn't have to wait and played a nice round then went into the club house for dinner and the food was great. Perfect day!

Many people are familiar with Tour 18 which is 18 of Americas great holes to play but the tribute I got to play some Carnoustie I got to play the old course it is an absolute beautiful 18 and for someone who loves to play golf and as many different places as I possibly can they gave me a chance to play a lot of lfthe world in one day

The course was in excellent shape and has some beautiful views. It s quite pricey for what you get in my opinion. The carts don t have computerized maps and yardage, and we only saw the cart girl once during our round.

Great group of people! clean, friendly environment. Pro shop is well stocked and so is the bar. Great place for corporate and private events.

Conditions are pretty good compared to most public courses. Staff is helpful for the most part. This course needs a Marshall and ballwashers and that s it.

This was about our 4th year in a row playing this course in August, it has been part of our fantasy football draft day ritual. This course has always been in impeccable shape with the best greens (bent grass) in the area. Complete disappointment is the only way I can describe this course today. I'm not sure how a course can go downhill so fast in one year, but it did. The green on hole #1 is a complete disaster. It has divots all over it, mixed with sand, dirt and is just a complete mess. Forget trying to make a read, just pick up your ball and call it good. Some of the greens on the later holes were not as bad, but the greens are the worst that I have ever seen. I should have known, that when I received a coupon e-mail to play for $49.99, that something was amiss. They used to always play the bag pipes when we pulled up to the course. Totally a unique thing that only The Tribute did, well those are gone now too. I felt it was part of an experience when you played that course, but not anymore. A couple of changes inside, which did absolutely nothing for the clubhouse, they switched where the restaurant and pro shop used to be and took away the breakfast menu. They do however have crappy breakfast tacos now that they give away. We will be now looking for a new course to play next year, so sad.

Does it's namesake well and really pays "Tribute" to St. Andrews

always enjoy being able to meet friends out there for a round!

True links style golf. Fast greens riveted bunkers hot fast fairways. Played it in 25mph wind and scoring was very difficult. Very fun design of a Scottish course in the heart of the USA.

This was a beautiful course from the club house to number 9. I say that because I didn't get to play the back nine which was terrible considering this was my first time playing here. I booked on golf now and there was nothing about the course playing only the front 9. Apparently they were rebuilding the bridges on the back 9. The course was in great shape and played well. It's a Scottish style links course and the holes are designed from famous holes on courses throughout Scotland. Each hole marker tells the history behind the hole. It's wide open course that allows for some fairway misses that you can still get to the hole in regulation. The greens are defiantly a challenge. They are rolling and hilly. You will hardly ever have a straight putt. I would have given this course 4 stars if I could have played the back 9. I recommend this course and will probably play it again once they get the back 9 open again
