Since the shelter in place has taken effect I have come here to walk and be outside while not running into many people keeping social distancing not a problem. This golf course is absolutely stunning right off the lake and very well kept. I am going to be sad when things open back up because the 6.5+ miles I have been walking will turn back into a lovely golf course but I am very much so enjoying it while I can. Hopefully the real walking trail will be open soon where it has been flooded out for the past 3 week.

This was a beautiful course from the club house to number 9. I say that because I didnt 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. Its 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. Its 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

The greens and fairways were in great shape. We didnt have to wait and played a nice round then went into the club house for dinner and the food was great. Perfect day!

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 dont 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 weve 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.

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.

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

We had an excellent wedding reception. The venue was gorgeous and the service was professional. Plus it was more affordable than any of the other reception venues and everything was included. We highly recommend this venue.

This is a beautiful course to play at. The course is always maintained to the fullest. Easy to get to and feels secluded from the busy Colony area, parking is tight but there has never been a problem finding an open parking spot.

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.

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

Booked a 2:30 tee time, round cost $36 and the value was INCREDIBLE. Amazing reproductions of some world famous Scottish golf holes. Ive been to the Old Course and the four holes at the Tribute are VERY close reproductions, with all the fun and none of the extra cost! I cant say enough about the staff or the course. Just a great experience!

This is a great course if youre 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 wont 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 Im in the area again.

Had a wonderful time course is in great shape.

Personally I don’t like golf but this place looks cool!

Im impressed how this course has matured. A great test of golf. Bring all your shots!

Nice course, replicas of the Open Championship holes. Come prepare to play in the wind. its always WINDY!!

Great course and great staff. Booked for $39 and you cant beat that. Greens are awesome, better practice cause greens will cost you strokes.

Im 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 werent 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!

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 dont miss playing here.

This place is a must if golfing in the DFW area. The course has been in amazing shape every time Ive played. They really took attention to detail replicating the fairway and green undulations. Being at the edge of a lake and in late summer in Texas, the course is harder and plays very much like a links course. LPGA was here last week so today was in even better shape. This is definitely one of the best Replica courses Ive played.

If you like golf clubs, this one is great for a wedding. Excellent food. Beautiful grounds

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.

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 were 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...

Had a great round at The Tribute on Sunday 7/14/19. Got a break with the weather and played the first 13 holes or so in overcast skies, so not too hot. Course is fair with wider-than-normal fairways, but the rough will swallow up your golf ball. Almost impossible to find in the tall grass and even harder to chop out of. Greens rolled very true and were in great shape -- as was the rest of the course due to frequent rains this spring/summer. Cart girl came around right on time and was pleasant. We played from the white tees and the 6,000-yard length was perfect. The back nine seemed to play a little easier than the front. GPS on the carts would help greatly, but there are distances on most of the sprinkler heads. Overall, great Scottish links feel without spending an arm and a leg flying across the pond!

A very well kept, and beautifully maintained golf course. Absolutely a top flight experience. From the tee boxes, fairways, to the greens, this golf course is just a very entertaining layout.

Nice course but very hard. If you do not like wind then do not play here. I played more than half of the holes listed in Scotland and they do a reasonable job of simulating the actual holes. Not bad for a US course.

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.

Great game today!

Course was in immaculate conditions. Unfortunately there is no shade whats 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.

You can bomb it on this course. It has generous fairways. I would have liked faster greens and approach areas. There had been lots of rain so it was soft. The selected replica holes are very interesting, a great bunch of choices from some unknown gems.

The tribute of The Colony Golf is a nice place in which has a good restaurant supplies foods for peoples.

Very nice course. Nice grasd and greens

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.

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.

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

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

Wow! What an amazing links course. This is the type of golf course I grew up playing in the UK. And to find it in Texas, what a gem!The proshop provided excellent service on a busy day and even arranged for a second round that same day without a teetime, just by squeezing us between 2 shotgun tournaments!The clubhouse can use an uplift, especially the grill and its very basic menu and mediocre food. Someone please manage the F&B here :(

Recently held a charity golf tournament here and had the BEST time.The staff is fantastic. They are friendly, eager to help and easy to make you smile during long, stressful days.The food was great, which is hard to say about most catering kitchens. They also coordinated well with our out-of-house dinner caterer.Thank you to the Tribute team for making our tournament run smooth, our guests feel appreciated and keeping our staff smiling!

Great place for celebrating birthdays and weddings.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful, clean & great service!!! Lauren, Nikk, Sara & Kimberly are just amazing at what they do!!! Great experience we had at our event!!! Definitely recommend this place!!! Did i mention the chef threw down for us!! Great tasting food & refreshments!! Loved every minute of it!!!

These place is the best place to play golf in all of DFW!

It was amazing. The food was amazing

Favorite golf course Ive ever played, greens fantastic

Great golfing experience. Course is manicured to perfection.

One of my favorite places to play in DFW. Just an all round gem.

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.

Love the updates and excellent staff

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

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

Course is in awesome condition. One of DFW greats. Its a must play.

A very good course. Links style course wide and long. Greens were in good shape fairways were also in great shape. A very pleasant round of golf. Sorry

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.

Great course, will be back in the spring!

Enjoyed my experience here today’

Shot 78...Slow greens, didnt roll very true. Cart girl yapping and driving during my buddys backswing in 18. I expected much much better for $138 on the weekend. Wont do that again.

Love Tribute, great course, always great condition, friendly staff and good food. Unlike other Tribute courses this one is not tricked up, just great golf holes. Highly recommend you go play.

Fun to play this course with tributes to 18 great Scottish courses. Big, wide fairways and firm and dry U.K. style greens. Great location by Lk Louisville. A beautiful booming neighborhood has grown through around The Tribute.

Love this course. Hasnt quite gotten over the winter conditions but getting there.

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!

Nice place. Okay employees. Not too friendly or welcoming. The space was great. We attended a wedding there and it was a nice wedding. However, it was outdoors under a tent and ot was hotttt! A couple of fans to cool the place down would have been perfect.

Great place for banquet. Enjoyed meal, drinks and deserts.

Had a great time playing golf with my buddies. The course was in great shape. Never been to a course where you can pay for your early morning tee time and the pros will fix you a bloody Mary to start your round off on the right foot.

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.

We arrived early at The Tribute and had a great first impression. The lodge was beautiful inside and out. We paid our $80 to play and then asked about range balls. The pro shop employee told us range balls are included and available on the range. We drove down to the range and were greeted by an unkempt range, with free range balls scattered everywhere. I would have expected a nicer range from a golf course that seems to be very proud of themselves. The course itself is in decent shape. We saw lots of weeds, grass growing through bunkers, and overgrown tee boxes. While those conditions werent the norm for each hole, they were prevalent. The greens were in good shape and very challenging. They offered a medium speed. Fringe was being aerated while we were there but that didnt bother the round. Overall, its a nice course however not worth $80. I have played at better for less.

It was the worst.

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

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.

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.

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.

Great course! Get the players club membership totally worth it!

Great place friendly service. Food is amazing as well

Great course. Excellent facilities

Its the most beautiful place to play and the service is excellent

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. Im 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.

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.

Everyone here is great. This is a great place to come and play golf. Would have been 5 star rating but the greens were jacked up and surely not up to their standards.

I got married here on the 19th. My entire wedding from beginning to end was absolutely perfect, and the staff was wonderful! I worked with Katie and Hayley on the day of my wedding, and with Katie for many months beforehand. I could not ask for a better person to work with to make my big day everything I had been dreaming of. I cannot recommend the tribute enough!

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

Awesome. Perfect greens and fairways

What a great challenging golf course had a great time loved it!!! Would recommend it to anyone

Great golf course... very challenging, but in great shape!

Great golf course ! Rain or shine will play .

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

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. Im 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 arent damaged due to lack of maintenance. Useable golf balls at your practice facility. Also, bring back the bagpipes.What I wouldnt change? Overall, the staff is excellent. Very friendly.

Pleasant array of scenic holes. Ample challenge but not punitive to an average golfer. The sense of some Scottish holes is enjoyable, even if the lake is not the Irish Sea.

Great layout course is in good shape

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.

Excellent course - Pace and Conditions were outstanding. Not to mention my 4 birdies here.

Great course. Great staff. Play here if you have the chance.

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

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

Had a great time, shot well (80s), & the staff was very accommodating & helpful. Cart girls themed dressed in plaid & made great Bloody Maries. Because there was a large outing after us there was a bagpiper in kilt and hat playing on the 18th green. WOW !!! Would definitely recommend it & would love to go back.

Great course. Be careful of the poison ivy in the bushes when you lose your ball.

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

This is a great golf course ! First class operation.

Neat concept, the European version of Tour 18. Well cared for.
