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.

Nice course, unfriendly staff
Overall I liked Cinco Ranch. The fairways and greens were in very good shape. Good pace for most of the course. Beautiful environment.
Staff needs some work on customer interaction. They weren't "rude," but I certainty did not feel welcome. Much more of get the cattle out on the course as fast as possible.
Run of the Mill
My impression of this course was this is an early 1990s run of the mill course that was built everywhere to lure in housing and development. That does not mean it is a bad thing, just that this place reeks so much of it.
The only differentiator would be the greens. There were a lot of ridges on the greens. Oftentimes I landed in the wrong quadrant. As a result, I 3 putted four times. Not the courses fault, all mine!
The greens were above average, but not pure. Ball doesn't roll pure due to its bent grass ? not cut down enough. For a simple straight 18 inch putt on a flat surface, the ball would steer off like as if shooting from a bad lead bullet gun from the Civil War.
This place was crammed for a weekday. The parking lot was overstuffed. The staff were running around and I got confused with the cart pick up and figuring out where the 1st hole was. After that, it was all fine.
Would I come back again? Maybe. Maybe not. I have yet to explore so many Houston golf courses.
Thanks! Paul
Golf at Cinco Ranch
Played a warmup round for my upcoming tournament. Showed up early and was disappointed that the driving range was closed. It had rained a lot the night before so somewhat understandable. Putted for about 45 minutes before my round and it helped a lot. It's a nice course with not too much water but still a little difficult for me (24 handicap). I'm trying to get better so these are the types of courses to play. Good experience.
Pace of play
Very slow. Had to wait on every hole. Tee boxes not in good shape but fairways and greens very good as well as the sand traps.
Nice place w/ easy layout
Course isn't challenging but greens are good and the course is fair.
Beautiful Thanksgiving Morning Round
Course in very nice condition! Great greens! Had a great time!
Pace of Play
The course was in great condition but the pace of play was very slow! Even after talking with the Marshall it still did not help. Other than that, the round was great.
Dandy round
Played as a single. Course was in good shape and several courteous 4somes let me through making for a quick round. Golf as it should be played.
