Golf Club at Cinco Ranch

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.

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.

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

The greens at Cinco Ranch are awful. The fact that we still had to pay $100 is ridiculous. I will tell anyone who will listen to play somewhere else.

Greens are in rough condition and fairways could use a little love. The price is too high for the conditions we saw.

The conditions of the putting greens was abysmal. For the the conditions, it should be $40-$50 value for the course. I'm fine withe the conditions if the price justifies it. E.g. Melrose golf course and Sharpstown are worth the price given their conditions.

I have never played Cinco Ranch and was very much looking forward to it! However, I was shocked at how poorly kept this course was maintained specifically the greens.

Fairways and tee boxes were in decent condition, but greens were simply “un-puttable”. Too many bare spots and a large amout of, for lack of a better term, craters on the greens which made for very inconsistent results. For you price is right fans, I Felt like I was playing “plinko” on every green watching my ball bounce around on the way to the cup.

To charge $100 for this course is unacceptable! I won’t be coming back as there are courses offering much better value than Cinco Ramch.

It’s been a bit since I’ve played Cinco Ranch, and I was shocked at how poorly kept this course has been. You can tell from the overall condition that it is more than the lack of rain in the Houston area this winter.

Fairways were in terrible condition, only surpassed by how “un-puttable” the greens were. Traps were in terrible condition, no consistency in sand and the lips haven’t been trimmed or patterned in years!

To charge $90 for this course is robbery! I won’t be coming back as there are better value options in Houston!

Most of the greens were too slow and were not in a fair shape.

There was a lot of construction going on, but it didn't impact pace of play, just aesthetics. While it is likely that the poor conditions were due to the grass being dormant, the greens were horrible. There were greens that had hundreds of rings on them from where the holes were moved improperly. 3-5 of the greens had 5'-10' sections of dead/diseased turf.

The staff was very friendly and the clubhouse was nice. For the $115/round I paid I expected much better course conditions though.

Found a great deal on GN. Weather was perfect for golf. Partly Sunny, mid, 70's and a light breeze. Considering the time of year the course was in remarkably good condition.

Staff was courteous and professional. The only real drawbacks, greens were in horrible conditions and the lack of restrooms throughout the course. For the amount being charged for Tee times, restrooms would be great to have throughout the course.

Greens were infected with fungus. Unable to putt on a majority of the greens. Pin placements were put right in the middle of the fungus while open good greens were available. Criminal to charge full prices for these greens.

I was looking forward to playing here since it's been a while since I've played it last. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Practice range was good since you can warm up on real turf and not mats. Since they were in the process of watering the practice green, couldn't tell you it's condition. Got started on time and if you're aware of this courses history of horrible pace of play, we chose an early time 8am. Pace in the beginning was slow since we had a father attempting to teach his kids golf... not even joking. EVERY SHOT consisted of a gathering with instructions and demonstration with the kids spraying balls all over the place. The pace moved from slow to horrible until we reached the first par 3 and could see there was a complete empty hole in front of them, so we chose to skip the par 3 and jump in front. Best decision we made since after doing that we didn't have to wait for a shot till almost finished.

The course itself was in pretty good shape. Being we haven't had a lot of rain, the fairways were green and pretty lush compared to most courses I've played in the area lately. Biggest issue is the greens. THEY ARE HORRIBLE!!!! Almost unplayable! Don't take my word for it, look at the pictures! They're so bad they almost look like they've been vandalized!! The fact there is NO mention of how bad they are in their website or in the pro shop, is extremely aggravating... specially since there are no discounts offered and the price is still over $100!!! At least 16 of the 18 were bad! As mentioned by someone else's review, they should only charge about $50 until they fix their greens. Overall, definitely not worth the value at this time! Hopefully they'll get them restored before next spring/summer...
