Golf Club at Cinco Ranch

Shot a 79 from the white tees. Helps that it’s a par 71. Emily at the pro shop offered me a deal on a monthly membership that I might just take next time I play there, since Cinco Ranch is my closest course and I’m usually out there about 3 times a month at least. Play was about average in time, taking 4 and a half hours. Lots of groups out and I ended up joining two different ones. Play moved along despite the traffic.

This course has an enjoyable layout. The par 5's are challenging, and difficult to get a birdie/eagle on. The staff is nice and the greens are in great condition. I have played here every once in awhile for ten years, but this might be my last. There are just too many cons to this course. Its location causes tons of people to play it, and it tends to high handicappers and beginners so expect a 4:30+ pace of play. There used to be gps on the carts but they got rid of them because they were expensive. These are really needed here because there are tons of blind spots on the course. When you couple the slow pace of play and the many beginner golfers, you will have anxious and oblivious people teeing off right at you when you are hitting your approach shot. There is also no marshall. So people, annoyed at slow pace of play, try skipping around holes only to find that there is nowhere to go, and that they just got in your way. There is a starter though, which is pointless, because after you finish the first hole you can literally go to any other hole on the course and they wouldn't know. Finally, the greens on this course are enormous - too big in fact. If you do not have a rangefinder and know the exact distance to the pin, it is pointless to play here. You may hit an approach in the center of the green and have a 30 yard putt. I would not recommend this course to anyone with a handicap under 18.

Sometimes it’s good to be a retired NWS Meteorologist. I saw that a 40% chance of rain was forecasted. That’s my personal upper limit to play. While some storms were south of the course, they dissipated, leaving a relatively cooler day under a high cloud cover. I had the whole course to myself by the back nine, played 18 in 3 hours. Folks, most golfers are scared off by any mention of rain. 40 % means that at worse, you might have a short interruption and that you will likely not get rained on. Check the percentage of precipitation. Hole 13 is a tough layout. Wish they could put a culvert in on that creek and cover it up. Otherwise, nice facilities, well worth the cost.

The greens were in fabulous shape. The traps were in good shape, too.

The fairways were a bit hard with some browning areas and some browning areas in the rough. Otherwise, we had no complaints. I been coming for over 15 years and will be back.

Everything else were perfect—greens, fairways, except a very slow pace. Waiting time was terrible with two groups on a tee box in certain holes. A few group in front played foursomes scramble. This made 5 hours and 15 minutes round.

Lots of water. Some slow players but other than that it was a fun day. I think people were looking for their ball too long as there was a lot of water.

Nice course, semi challenging. Greens were somewhat fast. Fairways kept well. They didn't have any energy drinks at the bar or shop, that was a little bit of a let down. I could have sworn Cinco ranch used to have the golf carts with GPS screen on it to measure distance from hole etc. those were gone this time.

The course itself was in good shape and was fun to play. The pace of play, however, was absolutely terrible. We had at least a 5 min between each hole (even worse before par 5s). The pace of play alone made this our group’s worst golfing experience. If they could fix that, I’d be happy to come back. Otherwise, I can confidently say that was our last visit.

The course is shaping up from the winter dormancy, some repairs on the tee boxes, the greens are also in good shape.

Mornings are surprisingly quiet, yet pace of play can be slow, worsened by the wind.

However there is no need for lack of etiquette, the group behind had little respect for those on the next tee, and hitting through when we had to wait for the group in front.

Marshall’s? Not in sight

It was way better than I imagined. I will be playing here more frequently.

No marshalls going around course to keep pace. Played in 4:45. Played a comparable course the next day in 3:15.

Course was nice, but way to slow to play

It was clear this course did not take care of their fairways or greens. Also, they put too many people on the course and do not follow tee times. This leads to a very slow pace of play, leading to a miserable round. Would not recommend choosing this course for the cost.

slow very slow 5 hour round no one monitors the pace of play. tee time ran 15 minutes late. The course it self is in good condition with a nice lay out must be a course you should play on a week day.

Greens in great shape particularly for time of year. Layout nice with rolling terrain, a good bit of sand and water. Distance from blue tees about right, challenging for me (age 56) but not horrendous. I live in NW Houston and chose course between myself and a friend, and took 40min to drive to course vs. my normal 15min, but enjoyed enough that I plan to play here and least a few times per year.

Greens weee in very good shape and rolled true. Fairways were in good shape overall and the few bunkers I was in were descent. Only negative were some of the tee boxes were in rough shape - bare & hard to get a peg in the ground. Finally, some of the carts are slowly being replaced - new gas yamahas.
