The Trails of Frisco Golf Club

I really like this course. Challenging layout. Staff is always great. Good conditions. Do you sense a 'but' coming.... The foursome in front of us was slow, and they got slower throughout the round. Think the last two holes took 35 min to play. Wish there was a Smart Cart with a Timer and GPS. At the maximum time allowed each hole, a really annoying alarm, horn or Abba song goes off and the group must pick up and leave the hole. In fact, I am now establishing a new Rules of Casual Golf: Rule #1 - If you are in a lake, its ok, your ball just needed a swim. Drop anywhere, no penalty. #2 Ball in the Sand? Just a trip to the beach, drop away where you don't hit back over the sand, no penalty. #3 Can't find you ball? It's playing hide and seek, drop anywhere, no penalty. #4 Go over maximum allowed time per hole, all players penalized 5 strokes. #5 2-Putt maximum per hole, after 2 putts, pickup your ball. #6 You MUST repair ball marks. Penalty is a beer per player for the group behind you. #7 Talking on the green is a 5 shot penalty. You must wait until you get back to your carts to begin talking again. Finally, #8 Whatever tees you play from, go to the next set up. You are actually worse than you think you are, sand baging is ok. Exception: If you shoot mid 70's or better, play whatever tee's you desire each hole. We now have an enjoyable 3 1/2 hour round of golf and all is good with the world.

tee'd off at 7:20am -- no one in front of us and had 1 other player catch up that we let play through -- conditions were good for the time of year -- will play again

Challenges for all skill levels with good mix of the need use most clubs in your bag.

Course in great shape

Greens are very fast. Roll great, but if you miss , miss below hole!

Staff friendly and have done a good job with course in wet weather, pace was good until we ran into a group 7 guys playing together, Marshall did his best to break them up but they apparently had been drinking early, we appreciate the Marshall letting us know, added an extra 45 min to our round., always enjoy playing this course.

The guy in the clubhouse was rude. Seriously could not have been 10 people playing golf that day and he acted like he had no time for any of them. We had a twosome in front of us playing from the tips and neither could hit to the women’s tee. They shared clubs...there was a marshal not sure what his role was but he cared nothing about that.

In the winter they basically let the grass die. Everything is yellow except the greens, they are brown. The greens are like industrial carpet, fast and hard, and for whatever reason, they still decide to put the pins on slopes. You will at least 3-put most holes if you land on the high side of a pin. Anyway, the course had lots of weeds, the bunkers have no sand, just hard-packed dirt. The tee boxes are also rock solid to the point it's hard to get your tee in the ground.

All things considered the course was in pretty good shape. The pace of play, however was extremely slow and there were no marshals on the course. Took three hours to play nine holes. I was able to get 15 holes in but three of them were in the dark.

Always a challenging layout, but pin placements were downright unfair on several greens today - in the middle of a slope. Felt like mini golf.

Fairways and greens were in ok shape, excessively dry and no overseeding.

Tee'd off at 8:10 am, 4th group to go off that day, by the 2nd hole, our group had to wait on every hole to hit shots..........the group in front of us had no idea of what they were supposed to do regarding pace of play and picking up.................because of this one group of terribly slow play and no consideration of other, it screwed up everyone else all day long.............as the 4th group to go off in the day, we should of played 18 holes in less than 4 hours...........instead it took us 4 hours and 40 minutes,.,.,.,.,.,.,.again screwing everybody for the rest of the day...............someone should be responsible to making sure you play with courtesy to other golfers.

Fairways are rock hard and ball rolls into hazards way too easily. Makes it extremely challenging trying to lay up to the many creeks throughout the course. Greens are rock hard and fast. Most holes are on slopes which makes it very challenging.

The course is always challenging with some narrow fairways. The greens were tough as the round went on as the condition was pretty dry.

Always a good course to challenge your precision.
