Frisco Lakes Golf Club

Greens were un-puttable. More sand on the greens than in the bunkers. Starter said there was some type of worm infestation that killed a majority of the greens. The starter was very friendly and apologetic, as he checked in on us multiple times. With certain restrictions in place, only two players were able to ride carts. The other two players in the group had to walk. This would be totally fine if the rate wasn’t $55 (same amount as the players riding paid.) There was a refreshment station set up at the turn with alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and snacks. The only problem, was that there was no one working the station. We waited for about 10 minutes, but left with no service as we didn’t want to slow pace of play. Overall, less than stellar experience if you compare the price to the actual value of playing at frisco lakes. Check out trails, which is a much better value for the price.. Or check out the tribute. Hope to see things turn around at Frisco Lakes soon.

Let me preface this by saying that this used to be one of my favorite courses in DFW. A really cool layout with a lot of really fun, unique golf holes. The par 5 layouts are spectacular. Unfortunately due to what appears to be disease, this course is unplayable and should be shut down for a few months or SIGNIFICANT discounts should be offered.

The greens are in the worst shape you'll ever play. Either completely covered in sand, or so gouged and bumpy from irrigation that putting is completely pointless. After playing the second hole yesterday, I actually had to shake off my putter as if it were a wedge I'd just used out of the bunker. To make matters worse, the fringe and areas are around the greens are just clumps of weeds making putting off the green or chipping almost impossible. Finally, the two-foot tall flag sticks with an orange flag give the course an almost eerie, hazardous look, like you shouldn't even be there.

I hope this course comes back because I played it often in the past and it was in terrific shape. That isn't the case. If you see anything over a $25 Hot Deal, this course isn't worth it.

The greens are in very bad shape. They appeared to have had some kind of disease and in need of help or completely replaced. Balance of course was nice, golf carts new, and facilities are good. Until the greens are in much better shape, the price is too high for the quality of course.

Normally a great course but all greens currently unplayable, avoid unless it is your last resort. Should be a warning or greatly reduced green fee.

Hello,

The greens were unbelieveably bad. There were patches on every green that were bumpy, dry, brown and often times unplayable.

We were not upset about the damage, Its mother nature and nothing can be done. What was upsetting was there was no prior communication of the issue. They charged full price and did not provide full disclosure on what we were buying. Additionally, the pins could've been placed in areas of the green that were not as affected. It was clear they had no intention on doing that.

will NEVER play this course again.

I know it’s Covid season and all but this was just bad. Paid $73 on golf now to play and was surprised to learn the course was open even after 2 inches of rain the night before. They let me go as a single in between 2 foursomes which made pace of play torture. The greens were full of disease and bumpy followed by temporarily cups and flags standing about 2 ft high. There was standing water everywhere and to top it off they charged me $23 extra for a rider I had with me. Overall just a poor experience.

The course is in very good condition EXCEPT the greens. There has been more sand than grass On these for the last month. And it continues to be extremely sandy.

The tees and fairways are green and in great condition.

The greens are just below terrible. Barely playable. Staff is not at all embarrassed about charging full price in spite of the horrible conditions. The attitude matched the greens conditions. Also, it’s face mask everywhere in pro shop and club house. Save your time and money. Lastly, the Canadian Geese are not fooled by the fake coyotes

I never thought I will post something like this about Frisco lakes. I don't know what happened, this course used to have one of the best greens around, but know the greens are dead, they have a lot of sand, something not uncommon around this time of the year but they have no grass, 50 % of the greens have no grass. You will think the course is going to be in great shape because not a lot of people was playing but is the total opposite.

Another issue is they don't tell you you have to walk, because they only give you one cart per twosome. The other courses in Denton county, give you a cart per golfer, but they don't do it and they don't tell you in advance so you can come prepared.

Really disappointing, it's a shame.

Literally the worst greens I have ever played on in my life. Made the round a waste of time. Putting was impossible. Patches of grass and dirt with bumps and inconsistencies all over.

for such a great layout they sure fall short on everything. The greens were in terrible shape. They don't tell you until you're on the starter box that they dealt with slit disease on the greens. But in reality the greens are completely destroyed and they're starting from scratch. We ended up playing a two putt max because it was watching blinko as the ball bounced around the green. The staff isn't very considerate of any sort of hospitality experience. Pace of play is always stacked up. So if you like 5 hour plus rounds, this may be your course.

Such great potential if they cared about the course and how they treat their guests.

a complete rip off. Do not spend the money...manager is really screwing over everyone with the prices he is charging. They completely let the greens go to save money. Worst golf experience ever. No refunds at all

The greens were in terrible condition, freshly punched, over sanded and lots of bare patches

I have sent this in an email to you guys 10 times this week and have not received one response. The way this course is managed brings shame to the golfing industry. You should be embarrassed.

"Hello, 

We were not notified that the greens were in such terrible shape that there is barely even any grass on them or that our tee times weren't discounted for the terrible conditions the greens were in nor that we would be kicked off the course at 7:30 pm. 

Please put a notice at least on your website that says the course is not in normal condition and should not be charged normal price. 

I would like to ask for at least a partial refund especially since we weren't even able to finish our round. We teed off at 3 pm and weren't able to get close to finishing by 7:30pm. Although the course traffic was not being held at a timely standard, you should know that we aren't going to finish and should charge less than full price in the first place. You guys barely even discount your twilight rate and then charge normal even though the greens are HORRENDOUS.

This is outrageous that this level of complaint needs to be made epecially considering the conditions of the greens. I have reached out to you guys multiple times over the last few days and have been left unanswered. As a regular customer, I do nothing but boast about how great this facility is, but after this, all trust has been lost. 

I spent $140 on 3 tee times that were not reflective of the course we played or the round we didn't even get to finish. At most, it should have been $60 for 3 people with the course like that and we didn't even finish.

Please address this. This is outrageous."

And just writing "thanks, we try to provide a 5-star experience. Come again." Will not due. I will not be coming back anytime soon, and I'm sure a lot of your regular customers that were excited to get back on this normally great course will be hesitant to trust anything you guys have to say.

The least you could do is put on the website a disclaimer that the greens are lost.

If you are going to learn anything from this, at least put up a tab on your website that has course conditions updated daily. Take some responsibility and run your golf course the way it is supposed to be run.

You've lost a normally extremely loyal customer.

I have played this course several times and enjoy it a lot. Yesterday was a disaster. The greens had been punched and sanded. Unfortunately, we did not find out until we arrived. At $62+ the value was not there. My group plays 3 times a week. Over the past 2 months this was the worst...because of the greens where half the strokes are played. Additionally, they had replaced the flags with practice green size sticks that did not register in range finder and impaired depth perception. Finally, their COVID blurb says 1 player per cart. But only given 2 carts for four players. Very disappointing. $25 round would be acceptable. $62 actual was just plain wrong. The did give me a $79 raincheck to play again. Too little too late. I shot about 8 strokes over my norm. Missed putts due to sand

Worst greens ever and they charged $62 on a weekday afternoon. Will never play here again.

I have played this course many times and think it is a great layout and normally in great condition. The fairways and the rest of the course looking good for spring, but the greens are awful! Some plugged, all sanded and most major dead spots. There where 3 greens coming in Ok, 15,16 & 17. I ask for a refund from the Pro, but having to go thru the run around with Golf Now. It might be easy to book a round, but its painful to get a refund!!!

Today's round was less than stellar. The greens were in the worst shape I've seen them in over 6 years. This place is know for having great greens, but not now. Something went wrong over the winter. Bumpy, spotty and just bad. Again, I hope they get a plan to get them back healthy! I'll be looking elsewhere to play until they are fixed.

Sorry Frisco Lakes, I hate leaving a bad review, because I love playing here!
