Grapevine Golf Course is a 27-hole municipal course at 3800 Fairway Drive, Grapevine, Texas 76051, run by the City of Grapevine. It has three nines, Pecan, Mockingbird and Bluebonnet, so you can play three different 18-hole combinations instead of the same loop every time. The course is non-metal-spike and all 27 holes have TifEagle greens. The pro shop number is 817-410-3377.
What makes Grapevine different from most DFW munis
Most city courses in Dallas-Fort Worth give you one 18. Grapevine gives you three nines and lets the shop set the rotation, which means the course you played last month may not be the course you tee off on today. That is the main thing to know before you drive out. Check which combination is in play when you book.
The original course was built in 1979. The Bluebonnet nine came later: it was designed by PGA Professional D.A. Weibring through his Irving-based firm Golf Resources, Inc., and opened for play in 1999, taking the facility to 27 holes. The course describes the other 18 holes as renovated within the past ten years, without naming a year, and all three nines now run TifEagle greens.
How the three 18-hole combinations compare
These are the course's own published yardages, ratings and slopes for the four tee sets.
| Combination | Black | Blue | White | Purple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bluebonnet-Mockingbird | 6,830 yds (73.5 / 130) | 6,384 yds (71.4 / 127) | 5,936 yds (69.5 / 123) | 4,954 yds (70.1 / 115) |
| Pecan-Mockingbird | 6,962 yds (74.3 / 136) | 6,530 yds (72.1 / 131) | 6,076 yds (70.2 / 127) | 5,111 yds (71.3 / 118) |
| Pecan-Bluebonnet | 7,010 yds (74.4 / 133) | 6,538 yds (72.1 / 128) | 6,094 yds (70.3 / 123) | 5,201 yds (66.2 / 115) |
Two things stand out. Pecan-Bluebonnet is the only combination past 7,000 yards from the back tees. And Pecan-Mockingbird carries the highest slope of the three at 136 from the black tees, so it plays harder for a mid-handicapper than the longer Pecan-Bluebonnet does. If you want the stiffest test, that is the pairing to ask for.
Which tee should you play?
The white tees sit between about 5,936 and 6,094 yards depending on the rotation, with course ratings right around 70. That is the honest choice for most weekend players, and it keeps the par 4s inside wedge range on the second shot. The blue tees add roughly 450 yards and about two shots of rating. The black tees, at 73.5 to 74.4, are a real test and only make sense if you carry a driver past 250 and like long irons.
What to expect on the course
The course describes itself as a blend of water hazards, sand traps and rolling fairways, and calls out the Bluebonnet nine specifically for elevation change, blind shots and fast greens. Bluebonnet is the nine that will surprise you if you are used to flat North Texas munis. Give yourself one look at the blind tee shots before you commit to a line, and treat the putts on TifEagle greens as faster than you expect, especially downhill in summer.
The course hosts a professional tournament
Grapevine is not just a city course that happens to be busy. It is the home of the Destination Grapevine Texas Women's Open, run by the Northern Texas PGA with the Grapevine Convention and Visitors Bureau as title sponsor. In 2026 the two extended their partnership by five years, keeping the event at Grapevine Golf Course through 2031. The next edition is set for June 2 to 4, 2027, and admission is free for spectators.
The field has grown quickly: 46 professionals in 2024, 106 in 2026, with players from 19 countries in the 2026 field. Recent winners are Maddie Szeryk in 2024, Sadie Englemann in 2025 and Sera Hasegawa in 2026. Mark Harrison, CEO of the Northern Texas PGA, said of the extension that the tournament has found a true home in Grapevine.
For a public course, that is a useful signal about conditioning. A course that hosts a professional event every June gets maintained to a standard most munis do not reach.
Clubs that fit this course
Three nines in rotation means you cannot memorize the course, which puts a premium on clubs you can control rather than clubs you can only hit one distance. A set of players distance irons and a full wedge spread give you more answers here than extra driver loft does. We keep used wedges and iron sets at our shop in Farmers Branch, about 25 minutes from Grapevine, and you can hit anything on our in-shop simulator before you buy. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
If your grips have gone slick on you, that is worth fixing before a 27-hole day in Texas heat. See our golf club repair and regripping in Dallas page.
