Trinity Forest Golf Club — Local services in Dallas

IF you want to see if this is a beautiful golf club you will need to keep looking for more information. And because I’m unsure if these googled photos are the true club or the ones on their professionally created website are the real ones, I’m giving these photos my review.

Because when googling this place and basing whether or not I decide to go to this years Byron Nelson Golf Tournament, that based on this site-two stars. MAYBE this Country Club is better, and MAYBE it’s worth seeing in person. I’m sure the links course is challenging, but unbelievably hot in the summer with basically no trees on the course. Links Golf is not easy.

Anyway based on the photos shown here and knowing that the initiation fee is $150,000, this club should be embarrassed. This looks worse than a country club I knew from a town of 40,000 in 1980 Iowa. But at least there I knew that it was the best quality around. This just doesn’t look worth my time or money. Are you sure it’s not a public course and a Super 8 photos that were loaded by mistake?

Additionally, based on the fact that the Club is the host for the Byron Nelson Golf Tournament in 2018, and how the location gets a great deal of money for hosting, again this Club should be ashamed. Are there really no better pictures to represent this place. (Note:There are and they are worth looking at.)

Anyway, after going to the Byron Nelson Tournament on and off since 1984, I’m shocked at all this. Plus knowing the beauty of the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Colinas and how wonderful the staff and service can be, I honestly can’t imagine what this tournament was thinking. I’m not sure who messed up for the Four Seasons-Dallas to lose the tournament to this place for one year before it moves out to another Four Seasons property in California, but Wow, it must have been huge.

Too bad that this is what is set to represent the city of Dallas, and after 35 years and declining sales, it’s a shame that no one could come up with a better idea than moving another tournament to California. Byron Nelson was from here, this tournament should stay in Texas. Shame on AT&T for deciding to move his name sake from his home. I doubt Byron would be happy about it, and boy did he let you know when he...

A totally different golf experience than you'll get anywhere in Texas, or possibly America. True links style. The caddies are marvelous and worth every penny and more. Invaluable too as going around the course without some preexisting course knowledge breaches the realm of the impossible. Hole 14 is what I'd call the signature hole, offering a delicate tee shot, and blind approach shot, a green who's read borders on insanity (there's a black hole buried in the lake to the back right, no matter what you see, the ball is going there), and panoramic views of the entire course.

The main defense is the wind and the subtle and nuanced greens. There are no trees to block wind, so whatever you feel outside your doorstep will be multiplied once you step out onto this course.

Starting this year TF will be hosting the Byron which should offer an excellent test for the pros. The PGA would be fools not to host...

Any one who has ever played a real links course knows this course is no such thing. The bunkers do not remotely represent classic links courses, nor does the off fairway rough. The rough here is more like a random mix of backyard weeds you'd expect to see in a purely maintained residential property. Played here at a friend’s request, but to be honest I’d never want to apply for a membership here. If you want true links style golf go to Oregon or the UK. There you can play true links style golf courses. And what fool would remove all the trees from a central Texas golf course they know will be a baking oven for several months...
