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.

Good course for the value

Good course that was in great shape. Greens are lightning fast. Carts do not have GPS, a rangefinder is helpful. Also, except for boulders marking 150 yards, no layout on scorecard. Was surprised several times by creeks and high grassy areas. Would have scored better if I had this information.

Great golf course

Always a great course to play. Pace of play wasn’t the best on the front 9 as there were toddlers playing and parents not respecting others experience but other than that the course was in good shape and I had a great time on the back 9 as usual! The pace sped up tremendously. Staff is always nice and they even remembered me by name as I play here frequently! Definitely a challenging course but fun!

Disappointed

The greens were good. The rest of the coarse, not so much. Lots of washed-out areas.

Great value

Greens were fantastic considering the hard freeze we have had. Nice pace of play even though we were a twosome behind a foursome.

My only comment would be to fill in some of the rough spots in fairways. Other than that a great track!

Play anywhere else

I would not recommend playing here unless it’s your only option. Not only is the course in terrible shape, but we teed off at 11:39 and didn’t finish our round until 4:35 (5 hour round). Also, there were no parking spots available, so 20+ cars had to park in a grass field where it was very muddy. I’ve played this course multiple times and have never had this experience. Would recommend playing anywhere else until they get this figured out, or cut the price in half

Had tee times from golf now. The course had canceled my tee time because they had a tournament at 1 and it rained the night before.

No phone call to let us know or email, drove over an hour to get there.

Greens are rolling nice!

Been a while since I’ve played here, but decided to play recently. Greens are rolling true. Quick and in great shape. Fairways still have some real bumpy areas and some tee boxes, but overall, it’s in WAY better shape than what it was in the last year.

Course is in terrible conditions.

Not sure how or why people are willing to pay $100 per person to play here. It was my first time playing this course, and outside of the wet/soggy conditions due to the weekend storms, overall the course is in terrible shape. Trash all over the fairways, makeshift cart paths, bridges that look like they were built a century ago, and a driving range so small you can barely even walk behind the boxes. Not impressed…and definitely not worth $100!

Avoid until further notice

Course is turning into Bridlewood - too many slow players clogging up play. Conditions are also bad right now. Lots of burned up areas, big cracks in the ground, fairways really inconsistent - some grass out there, but mostly not. Bunkers are awful. Sand is like concrete. Greens are at least in good shape. They have been spending the water budget on greens. We were a foursome and played through a foursome in front o us. One of the players was teaching his girlfriend how to play golf - on a Saturday afternoon when we’re all just trying to get around. And there were 4 holes wide open in front of them. Just inconsiderate and rude. Staff finally came out and did amending about it.
