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
Great layout
This course is all about club selection from tee to green. If your playing this course for the first time, plan on losing a few balls in the meandering creek.
One OF Best IN Metroplex
This course has some very interesting golf holes. #1 is a par 5 "welcome to our course" gentle handshake.
#2 is the first of some counter-intuative holes - don't hit your driver into the creek. Most players I know lay up, but a big hitter can drive over it. (I think)
#4 is a dogleg right with creek fronting the green - don't be to greedy or you may drive the creek.
#7 is big trouble on the left - hit out to the right off the tee.
#9 is another hole with drivable trouble at the end of the fairway. The green is accessable only from the air. I still don't know how to play this hole.
#14 is a par 3 forced carry over no man's land - pick your tee carefully.
#17 has plenty of trouble at the end of the fairway - hit it down the left hand side foe best shot into the green.
#18 is all about the right to left slope of the fairway. Drive and 2nd shot up the right hand side of the fairway or your ball will roll into the creek.
I rate this as a wonderfully designed course by local Golf Course Architect Jeff Brauer.
Excellent Golf!
Trails of Frisco GC was excellent! A beautiful day, and the greens were probably 12+ stimp! Which I really enjoy! Fast and true!
Great Staff & Service!
I highly recommend!
Trails at Frisco
Challenging and in great shape for time of year. Staff is fantastic.
Greens and course in good condition. Very nice right now.
Trails of Frisco Golf Club
A very nice and challenging course with a lot of water and sand traps with narrow fairways. Had a great time on the course with a very friendly and courteous staff.
Great Course
The course is in very fine shape. Unfortunately we were rained out. The staff graciously gave us rain checks. Will definitely go back.
Trails round
Course was in fantastic shape. Greens were quick and receptive. Ball would stop, couldn't get them to spin back. Couldn't be the ball striking, had to be the greens!? Nice track, makes you think and use your entire bag. Stay below the pin!
Great time of year to play
Course was in good shape, staff was friendly (as always), and pace of play was good. Good time of year to actually get a four hour round in...
Great course
Great layout, good greens.
Excellent
Course was in excellent condition, I will be back.
Good Course - A must Play!
The course was in good shape and was challenging with forced carries and lots of water on the back nine. Only draw back was the pace of play on front nine was 2 hrs 15 min. , but the back nine was terribly slow at 3 hours!!! We waited on every hole on the back nine.The marshall sure didn't care as he never stopped and spoke to the group in front of us. I would go back and play just because it was a challenging course.
Great Afternoon Round
We were playing as a threesome and all totally enjoyed this sometimes challenging course. Hadn't played here in a long time so it was as if for the first time. Great course!
Great challenging course!
Course was in excellent condition as usual. I've played here multiple times but every time I come out they have moved tees to make the holes play totally different. A few very long par 4's that require a tough second shot. All in all great course for the rate you pay.
Great place..
The course was in great shape. I was paired up with a 3-some and it was a blast. Pace of play was wonderful. The staff inside and out were excellent. I really had a great day at the course. Challenging yet relaxing. It is definitely not a driver every hole course so some decisions will need to be made, but get out enjoy the atmosphere and the great opportunity to play this course, you'll love it!
Nice golf course.
Fairways are in great shape, greens are in good shape. I like this golf course, is challenging, and if you mishit you are taking a penalty for sure. I think the only thing they need to improve is the sand traps, is not bad, but could be better.
Great Challenging Course
I played on a hot Summer afternoon and the course was still very responsive. The grass was green and the greens were soft. They had just punched the greens so some putts were bumpy but that is to be expected. The course layout is great but it is very challenging. You don't have much margin for error and if you miss the fairway on some holes don't even bother looking for your ball. Overall this is a great course but its not for a beginner golfer. I would recommend this course to most intermediate to advance golfer for a fun weekend round.
Top notch course
I would give it a five-star but they have just aerated the greens. This is a awesome course ,it is a pga caliber type course if you can't place your shots there is a lot of big scores available. You may want to bring a lot of balls because there is alot of hazards and out of bounds lurking. The fairways was in great shape, also bring a rangefinder hard to find distances in some areas. Booked on golfnow on a weekday and got a excellent price. This is a course you would love to play.
Think Twice Before Playing Here
We entered the pro shop where Paul was behind the desk. I can not say he greeted us as he only words were very short and to the point. He needs to learn to say "Welcome, to smile, and if nothing else pretend to enjoy his job and the people who pay his salary (which is all of us who golf there)" He said he had only been working there since May and I told him he needed to find a different place to work. The pace of play was sooooo slow. The marshal out on the course was more interested in finding golf balls than speeding up the really slow players. Once we got done golfing we decided to go into the bar/restaurant to cool off as the heart was 101 outside and a cold beverage and room would of been nice. It was very warm in there. The staff even had a large fan on them. If the owner would select better people and drop the air down so his employees and customers would enjoy it there this place might be worth us trying it again. However I don't believe we will ever be back thanks to Paul and his unfriendly attitude .
Why can't course tell you they have punched the greens when you book tee time
I had not played this course in years, but about 6 weeks ago, went and played and have now logged about 4 rounds in that time. From the tips it is challenging and fun and would recommend it. I believe their marshall are good and try to keep pace of play up, which these days is unusual for public and private courses. My issue is that playing yesterday, I learned after we paid and were on #1 green that they had recently punched and were about 50% healed. I believe courses; including this one should let their players know about any work, closed greens or tee boxes prior to booking. I will be back, but I will have to ask how the course is before committing to a tee time or; I guess even teeing off.
