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.

Solid but pretty tough

Course was in good shape, and pace of play was fine. Had a fun round with friends, but this course is pretty tough. Often had to go less than driver, leaving 170+ yard approaches. No cart girl, but was able to reload on the turn. Course is mowed pretty short which led to some decent shots getting into trouble. All in all, was pleased and will return in the future.

Good value with one VERY bad aspect

I have played this course before, but it had been a long time. I was literally on the first hole when I realized the thing I didn't like about it.

I have never in my life played a course with less information available to players about how far they are away from greens. There are literally 0 ground markers on the course giving you distances and there are no colored stakes for yellow/blue/white/red. There are some very faded paint on the cart path on some holes, but you can often times not even see it from the middle of the fairway.

Later in the day I realized some holes have big rocks next to the fairway that might indicate 150 out, but not every hole has them. I just find it baffling. I can't imagine playing that course for the first time alone. What a simple thing to fix.

Otherwise it was in good condition and was a good value. The only other thing I would mention is that we are still in quasi lockdown COVID mode right now and the pro shop guy basically told me to play with my partner in the same cart. It didn't bother me, but most other courses around right now are doing 1 cart / person. So it might bother some people.

Coping Well with COVID

This course moved up in my priority due to the way they're handling COVID. Trails of Frisco is doing much better than another area course I played last week. One player per cart (except for family members) as long as they have enough. They did have enough for me, playing on Saturday afternoon. They also have a stock of very nice 3-wheel push carts available. Although the phone line said the putting and chipping practice areas were closed, when I asked at the desk they said "Sure, go ahead. Just keep your spacing." The clubhouse bar and restrooms are open, with tables spread far apart. On the course, the fairways are fine. The greens had some tendency to bounce but were good enough for an enjoyable round. Foam rings were used around the pins, and were correctly sized to keep from making the putts easier than they should be. I'm definitely looking to play here again.

Playing with new parameters

Pace of play was 3 1/2 hours after we played through a slow 3 some in front of us. Course was very dry considering the amount of rain we have been getting. I expected the greens to be as good as they get do I the weather here but was surprised they were so bumpy. Fairway in good share even with the hard ground.

For the money it is a value

Aired greens

This is an excellent Golf course, however, I was not told that their greens were in a poor condition. Putting was a complete waste of time. Despite the fact that they are repairing their greens they are going to charge you a full price for 18 holes. I may be back when they 1) charge a reasonable price or 2) they complete their work and greens worth the money.

Target golf

I enjoyed the layout, particularly off the tee. There are very few holes where you grab driver without thinking about it. Well maintained fairways and greens. My only frustration is the course is extremely penal for misses. With OB/water on many holes, I don’t believe they need to have so many areas that are not mown where you will also almost certainly lose a ball.
