Golf Club at Cinco Ranch
Rating Snapshot
About
Carlton Gipson designed the Golf Club At Cinco Ranch in the early 1990s. It's a long golf course that features an ocean of water impacting play on 16 of 18 holes. For the most part, the holes are straight and open, with minimal trees framing the paths to the greens. The greens are unique because of the unusually shaped bunkers that create very different short game challenges from what one normally finds. One of the best holes is no. 4, a 557-yard par 5 that features an approach shot over water into an elevated green. In addition to the water, the green is fronted by a bunker that is at least 10 feet below the hole. This requires a phenomenal, blind bunker shot for an up-and-down.

Afternoon Golf at Cinco Ranch
Hot afternoon golf was slow at 4.5 hours for the round. Greens had not been cut or rolled recently, so were surprisingly slow. Many white tee boxes need seeding or repairs. Fairways were generally well groomed with only minor spots of uncovered hard pan. Traps were in decent shape. Overall average course with very nice Pro Shop and Starter personnel.4

It’s much better now
The last time I played Cinco the green were covered in weeds and going down hill but they were in great shape this time. They were fast and true. The fairways and tee boxes were good as well. I love Cinco and will always be a regular the rest of the summer.

Sandy greens
The course overall was in pretty good condition with the exception of the greens. It didn't appear they had been airrateted but they were heavily sanded with very little watering making for difficult putts . There are also almost no ball washers on the course.

Worst Course in Katy
The course is in the worst condition I have ever seen. Greens look like the surface of the moon with huge craters (how does this happen?) and massive patches of dead/missing turf.
The tee boxes were like hitting off of a driveway--you can't even put a tee in the ground on half of them because they are so dry and hard.
The pace of play is atrocious. It took over 5 hours for us to play 18 holes--we never saw a Marshall enforcing pace of play so we just got to stand around waiting on the group in front of us while being hit into from the group behind us.
The golf cart was grimy and felt like it had been washed off with dog water in the back of a barn.
Paid $14 for a large bucket of balls before my round and the driving range was horrible--there was no grass and it was littered with used tees.
The entire staff here should be embarrassed with this course. This place used to be a good course, but now it's clear that they just don't care for quality and are only focused on volume.
They need to shut down the course maybe 1 day a week for the next year in order to really give it the attention it deserves. Otherwise it will just continue to deteriorate and people will stop showing up for $100 round of golf on a Thursday.
We appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry to hear about your experience. We're committed to improving the course and addressing these issues. Your comments about the conditions and pace of play are important to us as we strive to enhance our guests' experiences. Thank you for sharing.
Terrible
Don’t waste your money, terrible conditions on fairways and greens, rude staff it’s a shame.
We're sorry to hear about your experience. We strive for high standards and appreciate your feedback on the course conditions and staff. Your comments are vital as we work to improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
course is in spring transition, booking starts on back nine is a mess
the course is a really nice layout, some nice bunkers and challenging holes. greens were very slow and patchy but it's spring and the grass is transitioning.
biggest complaint is they send people off as close as possible but they're also firing folks off number 10 on the back. I was the second tee time and we played the front in an hour and forty but got to 10 and just stopped.
Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the layout and found the course challenging. We appreciate your comments about the greens and pace of play; we’re continually working to improve these aspects. Your insights help us enhance the experience for all our guests. Hope to see you again soon!

Waste of money
It is sad to see how Cinco Ranch golf club has deteriorated over the recent years. This is my second round this year and I will not be coming back. The price value is not worth it. Greens are in terrible condition. Driving range is a pad of dirt and the putting green is closed. None of this is disclosed when you book. You are better off going to any other golf course.
We appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry to hear about your experience. We have been through some challenges this winter with course conditions, but are emerging on the other side. The greens are improving daily and the course will be back to normal soon. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and we hope you will give us another chance soon.
Rough
I booked online which included a cart fee. They paired me with others, which was expected but was told I had to pay extra to ride in my own cart, which is fine but misleading. The driving range was rough, the grass was basically nonexistent. There was no starter at the first tee, I teed off at my tee time, the starter caught up with me just off the green and told me I had to wait for my group. The greens are absolutely trashed. Construction folks who just walk across right in front of tee boxes while people are teeing off. We were told to pick up pace of play by the Marshall; which is fine but we weren’t off pace. Then we were told to slow down by the same Marshall. We were on pace, the guy was just being rude for rude sake.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We strive to provide a great day on the course and will work on improving the areas you mentioned. Your insights are invaluable to us.

Typical Cinco Ranch
Greens were in rough shape, with LOTS of landmines and dirt clods all over. Very hard to find a good line. Fairways and tee boxes were in good shape. VERY slow....teed off at 4:30 pm, and took 3 hours for front 9
