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.

Torn
This review has me torn...the layout is great with challenging holes throughout. The pace of play was pretty good and the greens were rolling fast and great to putt on with a few with weeds strewn thru a few. The bunkers were void of sand and the tee boxes needed a good leveling on a few holes. The course has potential but it needs some work.
Cloudy but perfect conditions
Still winter fairway and greens and rolls fast.
Friendly staff and good pace of speed.
Enjoyable round of plays.
I like the course
But needs work , sand traps need sand . The fair ways are very thin . . I like. The greens good speed , but needs weed services
Great Day at the Course
I've been to Trails several times before, they are in the process of renovating the bar area and there's some construction around the edges of the clubhouse but overall it didnt impact pace of play or ability to get around the course. The Weather was perfect and considering how much rain we've received over the last several weeks the course was in great shape. Had a great time and would always recommend playing here.
Trails in Frisco
Very nice and a challenging course. Good layouts and well-maintained greens. Holes 2, 9, 12, 17 & 18 could be very difficult for an average golfers. Good course management skills are needed to tackle these holes.
Great course for the money
This course has a very challenging layout an calls for most of the clubs in your bag. A few wet spots on the course due to poor draining but not too bad. Greens were excellent and putted true. Would highly recommended.
Cart path only
Muddy shoes with cart path only after rain storm.....
But fun to play with wife and enjoying round of games....
Love your guys at Pro shop and starter.
Nice, challenging course
A very nice course for the money, I really like the layout where every hole seems unique compared to most courses. Fairly difficult since there is almost always trouble on the left on the right. I personally love it.
Great New Years Round!
This course by far is one of the best values in area. Course layout, conditions and pace of play have always been great the couple times I have played it.
Staff is very friendly and helpful as well.
Definitely we will be back again.

Great course! Challenging
I have played here many times and every time I do, i enjoy it. it definitely is not for the beginner. I shoot 5 or so more strokes than I usually do here vs anywhere else. I do recommend it tho.
Zen
One of the best place to have fun and enjoy nature in Frisco.
Tough but fun.
Beautiful course, between the hazards and the water it is definitely a tricky course. The greens are brutally fast but in great shape.
course closed - Rained out - How can I get a refund?
The course was close due to rain. How can I get a refund.
Always a challenge, but fun
The Trails of Frisco is a challenging, but fun course. My score is a bit higher here vs. other courses due to challenges, but a very interesting play. Some of the sand traps need work.
Fine with me
Most courses were good conditions and friendly staff... except several holes Golf cart restrictions due to the Rain.
Also several sand trap was
