Battle Lake Golf Course

Get what you pay for... Lay out of the course is fun, not very challenging. What does make it challenging are the conditions. Tee greens were doable, fairways are mostly dead grass and hard compact dirt, you have to pick the ball clean every single shot, but I did enjoy some 300+ total yard rollouts with driver because of it😆. Forget about using fairway woods unless your an elite ball striker😬. Greens were rock hard, but had grass. Looked as if they are working on them.You can tell they were freshly seeded recently. Hitting a good approach shot on the green will be awarded with it rolling right off of it😆 because nothing is going to grab on to it! No cart paths so you can drive anywhere in any weather which in my opinion is a reason why the course is so compacted. Like I said though, it's a fun course especially for golfers looking to have a day with the boys, and for golfers who don't really care about certain conditions. Ive played here many times, because I do like the layout. I enjoy playing alone most the time to practice, and it's therapeutic for me. It's not crowded so there's no rush. I love that about this place .

Me and a couple buddies met here for a 9:30am Sunday tee time. It was the perfect meeting spot between Austin and Dallas. The staff, especially Amanda, were VERY nice and welcoming! The fresh cooked wings and hotdogs were great at the turn as well. The course was a a great layout. Plenty of water hazards and some sharp turns on the back 9. Fairways and most tee boxes were in good-great condition. However, the greens were it rougher shape. They’re currently working on patching and repairing the greens but there was some sand that killed a couple of our shots. Also, it wasn’t something that held us up, but the cart paths are not in the best condition. Overall great experience and will be coming back! Thanks so much Barlow Creek Golf Course!

Clubhouse and all the staff are wonderful; helpful and friendly. Nice layout, but the greens are too slow.
