Cowboys Golf Club
Cowboys Golf Club is a one of a kind, the world's only NFL-themed course, built around the Dallas Cowboys in Grapevine between the two DFW airports. A Jeff Brauer design opened in 2001, it is a genuine par 72 of about 7,017 yards wrapped in an all-inclusive, food and drink included format that makes it as much an event as a round.

The verdict
Cowboys Golf Club is the most distinctive public round in the Dallas to Fort Worth area, and it leans into it. Designed by architect Jeff Brauer and opened in 2001, it is billed as the world's only NFL-themed golf club, branded around the Dallas Cowboys with Super Bowl trophies and memorabilia in the clubhouse and stone markers across the course recounting the team's history. The theme is fun, but the golf underneath it is real.
The course plays as a par 72 of about 7,017 yards over rolling, tree-lined terrain with genuine elevation change, water and four sets of tees on every hole. The signature touch is the green fee: it is all-inclusive, covering cart and all-you-can-eat food and non-alcoholic drinks during the round, an unusual and generous format that suits a buddies day or a corporate outing especially well. For a visiting golfer, it is an easy, memorable add to a DFW trip.

The holes worth the trip
Behind the branding is a thoughtfully built Jeff Brauer course. Thick stands of mature trees frame the fairways, the ground rolls with real movement, and natural waterways and elevation change create a varied, strategic layout rather than a flat novelty. It plays harder than first-timers expect, and the conditioning is kept to a standard that matches the price.
The theme is woven in without getting in the way of the golf. Stone markers around the course carry facts about Cowboys history, and the clubhouse is effectively a small museum of trophies and rings, so the experience leans into the brand while the holes ask honest questions off the tee and into the greens. The four tee sets keep it fair for every level in a mixed group.
At about 7,017 yards it is a complete par 72 that rewards position and a steady short game, and the all-inclusive food and drink turn a round into a relaxed, all-day outing. That combination, serious golf plus a generous format and a singular theme, is what makes it stand out among the many public options around Dallas and Fort Worth.
