The Trails of Frisco Golf Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
Wow
Great layout with a top notch staff .
Can't go wrong here.
Great challenging course
You pretty much have to hit the fairways on this course. Quite punishing if you are not. The course is in great condition and the greens roll true.
Course
After all the rain, the course help up well, 4 holes were cart path only.
The course was in good shape overall. The greens were quite “bumpy” on the front 9. Back side greens and fairways were much more playable. Always a challenging course but extremely fun to play.
Course was in great shape. .
Fairways were the best in the area. Course was in excellent condition. Kudos to the superintendent. This course is a challenge to the experienced golfer. I lost three balls, and my playing partners lost 13 balls between them. The course is a good test of your game. I would recommend this course to anyone willing to play a challenging golf course. If you hit everything down the middle, you can post a good score. A very enjoyable experience.
Social Course
Play this course if you are out with your buddies and want to have a very social time on the course. Play is slow and the marshals drive buy and waive seemingly unaware that the pace is at 5+ hours for the round. The divot sand in the cart bottles is not restocked which you don't realize until you are well into your round. Was able to get a fresh bottle at the turn but had to sort through 10 bottles before I found one.
Great pace and course
Everything was great as usual. Played morning tee time in under 4 hrs. Course Is in great shape. The only exception is some of the bunkers were extremely firm. Had to rake/drop.
Course is in great shape
I play Trails of Frisco fairly often, it's one of my favorite courses in the north Dallas area. There are some fun, interesting, and challenging holes. The course was in great shape today, greens were very nice. Definitely recommend.
Course needs work
The course is in tough shape. Fairways are hard as a rock and you need a sledgehammer to lay down a tee in the boxes. The greens are in better shape and the bunkers are inconsistent
Course in great shape.
Fairways were surprisingly green and not rock hard for this time of year. Greens played true. Marshall and starter made sure pace was good.
I've always liked this layout
The Trails is a good challenge, while not being a "back breaker." The greens were in really good shape and had a little speed to them. The fairways were a little thin in some places, and that presented some challenge.
Sunday morning blues
MY neighbor and I decided last minute to try to play golf on Sunday. Trails offered the only tee time before 10am for less than $70. We took it. We shouldn't have.
A 9:12 tee time turned into a 9:45 tee time due to everyone hitting two balls off the first tee and then waiting from 300 yards out to go for the Par 5 green in two. The Marshal's only suggestion was that, "It's Sunday and there are Sunday golfers out there." I thought that maybe that was the marshal's job to assist these Sunday players and keep them moving. The front 9 took almost 3 hours to complete. I had enough time to catch a few bass in the little creek. Saw a few snakes too, but they were good snakes, no Mocs. Back 9 was a bit better, but we had to skip a hole to get in front of a bachelor party group. When we got to #16, there was a group on the green, one on the box, one in the hole, and then us. Ridiculous. Total round from original tee time to finish was just shy of 6 hours. There were a lot of player assistants, but they did nothing to assist pace of play.
Besides that, the course was in great shape. Greens are almost recovered from punch in late May. Fairways and bunkers were very playable. Still a goofy layout for the first few holes, but we know that ahead of time. Props to the superintendent..... the course was the only good thing about this round.
We won't be back in summer. May try again in fall once crowds die down.
