The Trails of Frisco Golf Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
Save yourself from frustration
Fantastic, challenging course layout, and nice fairways. That’s about it.
Every single green has crabgrass or extensive patches of weeds, creating a situation where almost no putt rolls true. Rock hard greens.
Truly disappointing after the amount of work that’s been put into the rest of the course. This place only wants your money, zero maintenance has gone into the greens (you get a preview of what is to come at the putting green).
I played for $24 and I still think that’s too much. Not worth your time or money.
Embarrassing!!!
$75 for a round? Can’t putt on the greens. Can’t play sand traps. There is literally garbage in some.
Not Worth It
Played here multiple times and this was by far the worst. Greens are in bad shape, bunkers are unplayable, and they are still trying to charge $50+ on a Monday. Will not be back for a while
The Greens were not in good condition
Not a bad course but the greens wore in bad shape.
Played there before and it wasn’t that bad
Pace of play was slower than before
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.
This course has to be in the worse shape it’s ever been
Greens and traps were so bad it was embarrassing. Very surprised to this as normally it’s in decent shape
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.
