Rating 73.8

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.

Long waits.

I had fun. Nice course. Not a lot of hidden hazards that take you by surprise. But I spent too much time standing on the tee box waiting for the guy on the fairway--while he was standing there waiting for the father-son duo eating up time on the green. Dad brought no clubs, paid for a single player, then borrowed son's clubs all day. They also ditched me and a twosome (starter put the "four" of us together) spreading out a string of players and slowing everyone down.

I don't blame the club for that jerk's behavior. But I do find Cinco pretty packed.

First of Many Rounds

This was my first experience playing golf in Texas. After looking at several course, I chose the Golf Club at Cinco Ranch. It turned out to be an excellent choice. The course layout was interesting with each hole having it own challenge. There was some elevation changes on a number of the holes along with water hazards. However, the fairways were fairly wide and gave you a great chance to be playing from it. The course was in superb condition too.

The clubhouse is well executed also. The pro shop carried a nice variety of items. The staff was pleasant in all areas, from the pro shop, food & beverage staff, as well as the starter. Overall, a great experience.

Using Golf Now, we paid $65 a piece for green fees and a cart on a weekend. I think that was a good value too. Looking forward to my next round.

Slow Play with no Marshal on a Friday

Although the conditions were dry the course was very wet and muddy in places, The play was very slow and the group behind kept hitting into us. Way overpriced for the conditions. Will not play there again. Corse marshal desperately needed.

Extremely Slow

I purchased it on hot deals to play 18 holes in the afternoon (4:30 PM). My tee time was pushed back 30 minutes after I arrived and then we were sent behind a Jr. Tournament. It took over 3 hours to complete 9 holes and it was too dark to play any longer after finishing the 9th hole. Priced too good to be true!

Unbearably slow pace of play due to junior tournament.

I showed up to my 4:30pm tee time and was told they were “running behind,” but nothing was said about a junior tournament in front of us with walkers. We teed off shortly after 4:30pm and we’re only able to get in 9 holes by 7:45pm. Had there been better communication as to exactly WHY they were running behind and let the players make the determination to play or not, or if the course said, if you aren’t able to get in the amount of holes you paid for, here’s a “rain check” for the back 9, I think that would have gone a long way. Better planning. Communication. Transparency. Customer service. Standard business practice.

Cinco

Solid course pretty good conditions decent pace but this course is not worth $106 (holiday price). When you reach that price you should be playing in exceptional conditions i.e. golf club of Houston, black horse, memorial still happy to play there just not for that price
