Review:
The TPC Las Colinas course is one of your best bests to play on a PGA tour stop course. Dallas’s PGA tour event is played at both Cottenwood Valley and the TPC Las Colinas during the week but on Saturday and Sunday the event is only at the TPC course. Located about fifteen minutes from DFW airport in Las Colinas you can experience golf with PGA tour level facilities. Measuring just 7017 yards from the pro tees is, like Colonial considered a finesse course instead of a power player’s course. Renowned architect Jay Morrish built this great course in an almost unbelievable twelve months consulting with Byron Nelson and Ben Crenshaw finishing just in time to host the 1986 Byron Nelson Golf Classic.
The par seventy TPC course features Bermuda grass fairways along with Bent grass greens. The course is always over seeded in the winter offering near tournament lever conditions twelve months of the year. In 1993 and again in 1999 the course had major improvements adding to its difficulty with over 200 new trees and new a new lake on 17th green side. Bruce Lietzke two time Nelson champion has been quoted as saying “This course is for the guy who hits it straight and putts it straight”.
I have only had the pleasure of playing the TPC course once as a guest in a Swiss watch industry sponsored charitable tournament in the summer of 1999. I found this course very challenging as I had only played golf for about six months at that time but very enjoyable with the course in spectacular shape. Every aspect of the Four Seasons resort is first class as it should be with the room and green fee’s being on the very high side. We played that day in one hundred degree temperatures and I remember how great the ice cold air-conditioned on course restrooms were. Green fees are listed at $185.00 per player with a small discount for resort guest. Let us know if you get to play this great course we would love to hear about your experience.
Good Luck hit them straight.
