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.

Good fir the price
I paid $16 and it worth it but it was cart path only.
Great Course
Great fairways and good greens. A little slow play
First Impression
Great staff, Starters and Marshal's were great and very polite. The course is great, greens were fast but well taken care of, the course itself was in perfect condition. Great layout, grass was perfect. They could use a little more signs that help you locate holes, a couple people drove back and fourth looking for the right way to go. I found the course somewhat challenging because on many holes you have a couple of different options. Range isn't in great shape but decent enough for a quick warm-up. Thank you Trails of Frisco.
Disappointed in the greens
I've always enjoyed the Trails. I feel like the layout fits the property and offers a nice challenge. However, the greens are in terribly bad shape. Part of that is due to golfers failing to repair their ball marks. (Come on people! It's not that hard.) In addition, while I don't mind a course playing hard and fast, this course would be better served by having it slowed down a bit. How about a program of punching the fairways and top dressing them?
One of area’s best
Course in really good shape. Greens almost 100% back from aerating and fairways flawless. Bunkers are still a mess from flooding rains but they always get them back in shape. Played on a Tuesday and the Marshal’s were engaged and active, keeping pace of play solid on a very busy day. Best value for the money in the Northern suburbs in my opinion.
Almost Really Good
The course is a good layout with lots of interesting holes. Fairways and greens were in good shape. But the bunkers are terrible. They are washed out, and the course does nothing to groom the bunkers. As long as you understand the bunker situation, it is worth $30-$35. But no way would I pay $50 to play that place. Too bad, because if they would fix the bunkers it would be a really good public course.
Frisco golf
New to the area and in looking at cost effective golf courses that provide good value! This is an A+ for a course in great shape and challenging design. Lots of water plenty of adjustments needed for a average golfer like me.
Traveled one hour to get here and will be back to play again.
Difficult and Challenging Golf Course
Trails of Frisco is not for the faint of heart. Bring plenty of golf balls because you will lose some. I love the layout. Each and every hole is interesting and difficult. I am a 10 handicap golfer and shot 85 today(blue tees). The greens are quick and hard. They roll pretty smoothly but probably need to be aerated soon. The fairways are in good shape. I’ve played this course four times now and I look forward to playing here again soon. The staff is friendly. No complaints. Buckle up, because this course is a handful.
Disappointed
the course was cart path only which no one made me aware of --drove 45 minutes to find out once I got there --so it was a very disappointing round--
Course need attention
Greens aren’t the best shape, bunkers low in sand , tees needed attention to remove bad grass, but is always good to have fun playing this course. Let’s see if gets better within spring.
Fun course needing better condition
This course doesn’t bore me. It seems like every hole is unique and I enjoy it. It could be seasonal but the green was bumpy. The fairway is pretty hard and very unpredictable. It was disappointing to see sone good drives ended up being unplayable after running forever on the hard pan fairway. This condition ruins the fun course design. The bunkers are not sand bunkers. They contain very loose and fine dirts. Be careful when you have to execute downhill bunker shots.
Great Value, This course never gets old
Even if you pay full price on the weekend this course never dissapoints. The greens rolls true and a very quick. There is a great mix of holes that are challenging in their own ways. Course is kept up very well and i have nothing but good things to say. Some really great views especially on the back nine here.
above average course
this is a very decent course - somewhat challenging....pace is acceptable - 4:15 minute round with foursome - with foursome in front of us...decent conditions for winter - it was cart path only due to recent storms - not a real big deal to me except the range was closed and i had come out early to hit..
Why did you charge fee?
When I went there, golfclub was closed. They already informed Golfnow. But you didnt notify us. We couldn’t play game. Why did you charge golf fee?
