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.

Horrible greens
Most of the greens were too slow and were not in a fair shape.
Lots of Construction. really Bad Greens
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.
Thank you for your feedback. This winter has presented some challenges for course conditions, but our maintenance team is actively working to improve the greens. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope you’ll consider visiting us again as conditions continue to improve.

A good day for golf in Texas!
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.
Thank you for sharing your experience, sesocha! We're thrilled you enjoyed the perfect weather and found a great deal. It's fantastic to hear that the course met your expectations. We hope to see you back out on the greens soon!

Descent course
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.

Fungus, not able to putt
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.

Needs Help
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...

They should reconsider pricing
Cinco Ranch Golf Course has a solid layout and a convenient location, but the greens really need some work — they’re inconsistent and not in the best shape right now. The overall course is decent, but it’s nowhere near a $100 round. At best, it’s about a $50 value. Until the greens and overall conditions improve, they shouldn’t be charging that much. It’s fine for a casual round, but not worth the premium price they’re asking.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the layout and location. We appreciate your insights on the greens and will take them into consideration as we continue to improve. Your input is valuable in helping us enhance the experience for all our guests.

Great course
The only thing I would recommend is for the Marshall’s to help motivate players to stick to the pace of play timeline. Overall I love this course and will continue to golf here a few times a month!
