The Tribute Golf Links Review

7.6/ 10
The short version
A Texas links tribute is a strange idea until the wind blows off Lake Lewisville and it suddenly is not strange at all. It's not St Andrews, but the ground game is real and the price is honest.
How it played
Best played on a windy day with a low ball flight. Bump-and-runs work here, which is rare in Texas, and the greens were firm enough to reward the running shot.
How it looks
Fescue-ish rough, pot bunkers and replica holes that echo the originals without pretending to be them.
What won me over
- you can actually play links-style golf in North Texas
- excellent value under 120 dollars
- wind makes every round different
Good to know before you buy
- replica holes feel gimmicky in a couple of spots
- housing lines several holes
My verdict
7.6/10. A fun change of pace, not a bucket-list round.
