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.

Disappointed

I usually play with some folks that live in Sachse and we usually play in that area but since I live in Frisco , they wanted to try a course near me and I selected this course, and boy were we all disappointed , greens were so bumpy and sand most traps were also not playable, we felt they should have offered a discount due to the conditions, I would not recommend this course.

Greens are not good

Played here many times, and usually in decent shape. Fairways are really bare even for a Texas course this time of the year. Greens were extremely bumpy. Maybe a transition period before the summer conditions?? Glad I only paid the twilight fee

This Course is a Disaster

The sign in the pro shop stated - working on the sand traps. They should be working on the greens too. They were essentially unplayable - dirt and weeds. The honestly should shut this course down and try to get it healthy. It is the worse condition I have seen a course in the metroplex in 30 years. The fact we paid $50 for a after 3pm round of golf is farcical. this is a solid $5 a round course. Ridiculous. Do not waste your time or money.

Incredibly disappointed

The layout and staff are good but the course is trashed. The greens are horrific. It's just weeds. You can't putt on them. The bunkers are even worse. They're all washed out. It looks like this course was hit by a hurricane. There's absolutely no reason anyone should pay $70 to play this course.

Disappointed!

After playing this course before, I was extremely, disappointed in the condition of the course and greens.

Granted, weather and what looked like some flooding had occurred, but the course was in very bad shape.

Definitely not worth $55 for a Monday morning. With the course in the shape it is currently in, they should offer a discounted rate until it’s back to normal.

There are plenty of other courses around in much better shape and better value for money.

NEEDS UPKEEP

We played on a Saturday morning and the maintenance crew hadn't done a thing to clean up the course from a rain storm the previous week. There was junk in nearly every fairway. The greens were the worst I have seen on any public course in a LONG time. Hardly any grass, most weeds and dirt/sand. Not worth the $70 green fee. Won't be going back anytime soon.

This course needs a ton of work

I played the course on 4/13/22 and it was terrible. The area had been hit with a massive rain storm that washed away bridges leading to greens, all of the sand in every bunker and there was dried up mud and dead fish left on the fairways. The greens were dead with the exception of a few spots of PoAnna trying to come up. This course needs to closed and the grounds crew needs to be paid the overtime they deserve to fix this course. The bunkers will need new sand because it all washed away and the course needs to be given time to heal. There is no way anyone should pay 70 for this course.

This review is not intended to say anything negative about the staff my experience with them was fine but the course needs serious TLC

You will Regret it!

I don’t write reviews except for the coutse. This is an absolute no-no. The greens are horrible and that’s putting it nicely. And it is way overprice For the conditions. Tee boxes are beat up, practice greens are beat up and driving range is beat up. It’s sad!

Greens are terrible

The course is a good layout. The greens are in terrible condition. Also, not all tee boxes were mowed.

Pace of play was great and if the course conditions improve we will play again.

NIce challenging course but greens are in need of TLC

This course is challenging and usually in fairly good condition. However, as of (4/4/22), the greens are severely infected with poa annua grass, resulting in bumpy and inconsistent rolls. Other courses suffer from similar affliction, but this is one of the worst we've seen in the metroplex.

Greens are Gone

The greens are in really bad shape and expect them to get worse as the summer months roll in. The staff was very friendly and the layout is great but the greens need lots of love before I will return.

Horrible conditions

This was the worst conditions I’ve seen at this course in years. Fairways and tee boxes are burnt up and hard-pan. Not worth the high rate I paid.

Terrible Condition

I completely understand that the DFW Area is going though a serious drought right now!!! But The Trails was terrible!! Greens had bumps in them! Fairways were like hitting off Asphalt! Tee Box’s were dirt!! The amazing part of it was I paid $75 to play!!!

We didn’t even play the back 9!! It’s not fun to play on a goat pasture!!!

This was the first time I played The Trails in a coupe of years! I was looking forward to it! The course has a nice lay out!! But it will be a while before I play it again!!!

Front 9 greens had some green weeds growing causing them to be bumpy and didn’t get true rolls. Early season golf though and course is usually in great shape so we will see what the next few months bring

Real review

Fun golf course. Range was a hot mess. Pretty much hitting off patches of grass. Practice green was not well maintained. On the course for this time of year was average. Pretty dry and dormant but acceptable. The greens on the front 9 we're in need of some serious help. Had some type of tufted grass littered throughout which made putting senseless. Back 9 was much better! Greens were running super fast with pins in some very difficult locations. Beverage cart was friendly, bar was friendly, marshall could've help put with people playing loud music but I guess that's a thing these days. Would play again in summer time conditions. First time here and shot a 77.
