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.

The course is great but it needs a Marshall to keep a decent pace of play.
Rain delay
Course was deserted. I asked the starter if it was due to the rain that had been forecast. He said he’d believe it when he sees it. I hear you I told him. He said it was more likely due to the 100 degrees forecast. Turned out…there was an hour rain delay. That all said, by the time I got to the last hole, the course had dried completely and I got some good roll on the fairway. Drainage is really good.
About that 16th hole…
Greens were recovering after aeration. Fairways were in good shape considering the heat wave. When we got to the 16th we were surprised at the far left pin. Then I found out why. My drive headed for the gap between the traps guarding the middle of the green. That was a problem. You see I was aiming well to the left but went wayward. The ball plugged into waterlogged muddy ground. Chipping after taking a drop was next to impossible on wet grass…in the middle of a drought. Double bogey.
Tuesday like a Monday
Starter runs this show. He knows ahead of time if carts are going to be short tracking future groups, doubling golfers up. Course was great shape, other than a few bumpy putts.
Pace
Very slow pace of play, no marshalls onsite to address the situation. Good course overall, good condition
Get ready to wait
If you're going to choose to play this course you would better get ready for a 5-hour round. For the price, there are much better places to play. It's just too long and too expensive for the quality of golf.
