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.

Unplayable
The course was unplayable. Very muddy due to recent rains and they did nothing to take care of it. And to make matters worse all the ball washers had been taken down so you couldn’t even clean your ball.
Definitely not worth the money in these conditions.
Course needs facelift. Only half of the sand traps were playable. Could be a very nice course if they put more detail & attention to it. Came across as a typical muni.
Son in laws Christmas golf
All in all very good. Pace was slow. Poor fellas in front of rode the struggle bus . Waited every hole about 2-5 minutes
Don't Do It !!!
Where do I start !!
Course not maintained!Trash ,debris, broken sidewalks, poor signage !
We came hungry for food but the bartender told us the only food she had were old hot dogs that she doesn't know how long they have been in the cooler.
No cooks , no bev cart person.
We ordered pizza luckily and had it delivered to the club house for my group I was entertaining.
They had an attendant in the restroom like at vip nightclubs with your paper towel and a mint for a dollar ?? Literally a guy in a bunker raking while we were trying to play and he just stayed there while we hit up to the pin. Staring at my daughters , making them uncomfortable.
Don't do it!!
Worst staff
I would provably never come back to this course again, but this course needs improvement on the all the aspects, especially on the staffs who is facing the customer at the top front as a representative of the golf course.
The Asian guy working at the pro shop had no sense of service. My experience at the pro shop today was the worst experience at the golf course during my entire 20 years of golfing because of that guy.
Because of the heavy rain, we couldn’t finish the hole #3 and wanted to get the rain check. The amount on the rain check seemed lower than we expected, and we asked if he can explain the reason. The Asian guy at the pro shop was saying “that’s the amount I give today. If you don’t need the rain check, just go“ and “you should appreciate to what I gave you” and even throw the rain check to the side of the table and asked us to go to the side and wait him until he talks to the next customer without finishing our conversation. After we came out from the pro shop, me and my friend talked to each other that this is the worst experience ever. This guy even came out from the door, followed us and cursed with F words. And when we asked what he said, he said he didn’t say that. What’s going on at this golf course? Never expected this kind of situation where we paid for fun. I don’t even know how he could get a job there.
I don’t know if this message can be found by the owner or the higher management of the course, but I think they need to find better person at the pro shop who can talk with their value customer with better minded.
Ok Course a little over priced
Played weekend morning and for the price I felt the course tee boxes (blues) and fairways could have been in better condition. The greens were fast and good. Bunkers were ok. For the money I would play another course. But they charge a premium because it is Frisco.
A challenging but fun course
I found this course to be in good condition with the greens very good, the fairways in fine shape, but the tee boxes need work. It is a deceptively difficult course which is unforgiving if stray too far off the fairways and the pin placements were at times 'unfortunate' for us average golfers who hate to hear our partner remark, "It's still your turn!" But, I would play this course again and advise it to fellow duffers like me.
Excellent course
The course was in great condition. Fairways and Greens in excellent condition!
Tough course
This is a tough course with several forced carries and the creek meanders the entire length of the course. I always use the majority of my clubs at this course, and it does provide you the opportunity to be creative around the greens.
rough was rough
I have never seen so much trash left in the trees before in my life on any course I have ever played on. It reminded me of a garbage land fill. Too nice of a course to be treated so poorly.
Trash everywhere
The overall golf course itself was fine but the surrounding wooded and marsh areas are literally filled with trash, plastic bottles and other garbage left by prior golfers. There are also several wooded areas that look to be bulldozed over, possibly for future repair or course revisions but the amount of trash around this course is literally staggering. Every waterway, almost all of the wooded areas and anywhere not specifically on the fairways or greens has visible trash stuck in the trees, shrubs and tall grasses. So disappointing to see as a patron of this course and a resident of Frisco.
Average - good
The course has a challenging, fun layout.
There was a lot of trash across the whole course, really looks bad.
The mats on the range are very hard, almost feels like hitting from the concrete.
Experience 8/10
Course is no bueno
If you’re wondering why this course has open tee times on Saturday and Sunday mornings, there’s a reason. It’s fine if you live close or nothing else is open, but don’t go out of your way. Tee boxes are trash, fairways are ok. Greens are ok. They do charge less than other courses, but still not worth the inflated price of golf these days.
Not worth the money!
This course should not be charging $77 given the condition it's currently in. Greens were fine, but tee boxes and fairways were in need of attention. Lots. And I think it's shady for the Pro Shop to not inform you that there's a juniors tournament taking place out on the course, about 2 groups ahead of you. And they're all walking. DST had kicked in on Sunday, November 5, so it was getting darker earlier. We teed off at 12:20 pm and didn't even bother finishing the last two holes because the tournament was so backed up. Won't play there again, much better courses in DFW in that price range.
What a waste..
The course was in terrible shape. Muddy, cracked, dirt patched fairways. 5.5 hours of pure disappointment. Criminal how much they charge for such a terrible course. Boycott by all means.
Very nice course with some tough holes!
All in all, great course, friendly staff and we got to see the partial eclipse during our round! The one negative I have is that I was in the bunkers five times and there was not a rake at four of the five bunkers. I think we saw the Beer Angel more than we saw rakes! That was nice compared to our normal courses in OK.
False scarcity of tee times
We purchased 4 tickets due to the scarcity of time slots. As we go to check in, the club advised us that the course is a ghost town. That said we would have never purchased 4 tickets to be proactive. Also, majority of the tee boxes had massive cracks due to erosion.
