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.

Bring a cooler

The worst stocked drink cart I have ever seen. 97 degrees and they don't have water, alcohol selection is minimal, no whiskey only crown, and they only had that one time around.

Worst organization ever

First time at this golf club. I had a 6:24 tee time for today. Arrived on time and checked in. Was told by pro shot assistant where to get key and cart. When I went to get the key for the cart, I was told I had to wait by a gentleman who ended up being the Starter as well, as he walked away. I stood around for approximately 5-10 minutes and then a golf cart attendant got me a cart. I loaded up and proceeded to the Starter Shed, where there was a sign stating “be back soon”. Not knowing the setup and procedures I waited for another 5-10 minutes. When the starter showed up, he informed me that I missed my tee time and my group was in the fairway of the first hole and I should proceed to meet them, which i attempted. Actually the group had already teed off number 2. I had enough and called it a day. To make matters worse I attempted to get a refund and was told that because I used Golf Now App, I had to go back through them. That’s when I realized how difficult it is to contact Golf Now folks. No easy way, no phone numbers available. In my frustration I went back to the golf club and got a rain check. Very frustrated at Cinco Ranch Golf for screwing up my day and Golf Now for not having an avenue to contact them when you were dealt a bad deal.

Good conditions considering week 9 of pandemic. Sand traps were good, and greens are recovering from being punched after a week or so. Played 18 in 3+45 with a great evening sunset.

Great experience... except for 2 things

Beautiful course. Great amenities. The lady who drove drink cart was great and made super mixed drinks. The pro shop guy was professional and gave a warm greeting. The starter was rude and not friendly. He acted like he did not want to be there. We had a lady golfer in our group. We let the group behind us play through on the first par 3. We had a foursome of old men who must have been rushing to get to the early bird mealtime at a restaurant. We stayed ahead the rest of the round after we let the group behind play through. These guys rode us the whole 15 holes. And hit into us on the next par 3. Overall. Great experience. I’ll be back.

Good Course

I had played here once before but it was so long ago this was like my first time again. The staff was very friendly. Overall the course is in pretty good shape. There are a few areas that need a little TLC but the greens were in good shape and rolled true. The pace of play was a little slow but I think that was just due to the group in front of us. I will definitely come play here again.

Pace of Play

The course has a hard time managing pace of play. Not grouping singles/duos at busy hours. Nobody managing pace around the course.

Best course in Houston Area

I have played just about every public course in Houston and Cinco never fails. Thankfully live down the road and can play here a ton. Prices solid, course conditions are always kept up. If they had better memberships I’d become a member right away. Thank you cinco staff!
