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.

Liked course, staff not so much
Booked my tee time on Golfnow. Came in to check in with the pro shop and the guy at the register wasn't giving me the light of day. Was on his phone and just held his hand out for my credit card. Course was in pretty good shape, Greens were a little rough, may have just been because it was later in the day. Course can be challenging from the tips especially if you dont hit it long. Few blind tee shots that just take experience to know where to hit it.
Lot's of Sand but Lot's of Fun
Great course! Very fun and challenging to play. Nice layout with lots of sand and creeks to mess with your game. Women get a decent advantage. Cart people were timely. Marshall was very visible. Pace of play on a holiday weekend was amazing!
This course has great conditions and maintenance.
Friendly staff and best conditions for fairway and
Wonderful maintenances now.
Come to play...
Great condition
Course was in great condition, fairways were lush and the greens were holding
Well worth the money
Great Shape
This is a favorite course and is in great shape. Very challenging, would be nice if they had a gps system.
Not sure if they have have any food except hot dogs, at least on weekdays when I usually play it.
Hole #8 is especially tough.
Great Layout
Enjoyable course, very affordable especially through Golf Now, great condition, friendly staff.
Not so easy
Tough course. Many holes have a lot of danger. Interesting if you know the course. I have lost a few ball just because it was a first round for me and I didn't know layout.
Congrats
Loved it.
Always will come back.
Good prices & close
Location
Be honest
I booked this tee time being alerted on the website that they aerated the greens; however, what they neglected to disclose on Golf Now was that they had the back nine closed and you would have to play it twice. I already took the day off work to play golf so when I got to the club house and they informed me of playing the front 9 twice I really had no other options to play anywhere else considering my time restrictions. I played the front nine which was fine, but as I suspected when I made the turn to return to hole 1 there were 2 foursomes and a twosome in front of me waiting to tee off. I just left after only playing the front nine once. Also, the driving range is very sandy with little grass to hit from and they only allow irons. I'm giving them 1 star after talking to a couple of regulars because they knew the back nine would be closed whereas if it was something unexpected I would rate it a little higher.
Always great
Really love this place. Weather was great. Laid back but beautiful and well taken care of place to play
Recommended for play
Overall a very good course. Some of the greens are a little bumpy but course conditions overall are very good
