About
The Trails of Frisco golf course is one of Jeff Brauer’s most unique designs -- primarily because it doesn’t fit the mold of his other courses. Brauer, who’s known for his open, straight-forward courses, designed this one to tip out to a par 71, 6,900 yards, loaded it with hidden creeks, scenic wetlands, extensive bunkering, and massive greens. In fact, first-timers will be confused here. They’ll face intimidating views off the tee that leave doubt as to the problems that loom ahead, and it is definitely possible to lose all of your balls off the tee if you’re struggling.
The golf course is just flat-out challenging, especially on the front nine. No. 1 opens up with a creek on the left that cuts in front of the green and generally makes its presence known on every shot. The play here is to stay right and stay away from its subtle presence on the left side. The creek comes into play on Nos. 2, 4, 5, and even No. 9, where it chutes from the fairway in front of the green and surrounds the green of this challenging par 4.
All told, water and waste areas are in play on 16 of 18 holes (including every par 3), and the creeks are enhanced by visible lakes and ponds on the back side, even though it is considered a bit easier than the front.

Inconsistency everywhere
Bunkers are really inconsistent. Greens are struggling. Fairways are sparse. Tees are thin and rock hard. Good layout just needs to step up their maintenance game.
Very disappointing round
Course was in poor condition. The pro shop charged more than what the reservation was made for because it was a holiday. $82 for Rock hard, dirt tees and fairways. Greens were in decent shape. Course layout is very poor and penalizing for no reason. Driving range was poor. Range balls were old and dead balls. Scattered all over adjoining holes.
Will not be back.
Great afternoon
Played with my son and had a really good time. They have a junior rate, so it was a great value. Challenging layout in the windy conditions.
The Course is not in Good Shape
The Course is not in Good Shape and some staff needs customer service training in the Club House. However, over all traditionally the course and staff were great, but going down a little.
The course wasn't in great shape. A lot of the tee boxes didn't have grass. Mostly dirt.
The fairways looked like they were coming back to life. A bright spot, the greens were in good shape.
I won't play this location for a while to see if they can get the course in better shape.
Wasn't worth the $$ to play. Too many options in the area for a location to let thier course slip.
Course was in very rough shape
There were no differences from being in the rough and bing on the fairway. The grass was horrible.
Absolute Worst Value
This course is a dog track! While the staff is friendly, the course is in horrible condition. Half the tee boxes are sand pits. Have the sand traps have nothing but clay and dirt in them.
Not Worth It
It took almost 4 hours to complete 13 holes. The pace of play was terrible because their tee times are stacked too closely. Not worth the money. Course was decent though.
Awful
Tee box are no better then back yard grass greens are painted and fairways are hard as a brick just an awful course
Price a little steep for middle of winter and course conditions
Was great but during winter should definitely not be full price given the hardness of the ground and how dead the grass was. Otherwise a good course.
Overbooked
I was a little upset because Demi was overbooked. We wanted to play just my husband and I by ourselves and they decided to add two more people to our group. When we pacifically said we wanted to play by ourselves. It took forever. We were there at three, which was our teatime. Too many people ahead of us took too long. We didn’t even get to finish the whole course. We made it I believe to the 12th hole,.
Disappointed for the cost!
I am fully aware we are in winter golf time here in Texas. However, this course is severely beat down. Tee boxes are mostly dirt as are the fairways…NO ROUGH. Just hard pan everywhere. Bunkers are dirt as well. The lone bright spot was the greens which were great. Paid $80 before taxes to play. Won’t be back unless significant changes are made.
Need better tools
Great, Challenging course. Scorecard on xerox paper with no course/hole layout makes it difficult to figure hazard areas. Forced to use Google maps. Midday green fee a little pricy
