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.

Cinco Ranch

Course was in good shape and the layout was very good. Pave of play was excellent on the day I played. It’s a bit pricey since it’s a holiday day and in the morning but I’d gladly go back when the rates are more reasonable. I recommend this course especially for intermediate or occasional players. Staff was decent, and amenities are decent.

Tuesday afternoon at CR GC

Course condition was good, and pace of play was good too. Most staff members were professional but the starter needs to improve his attitude - his human relation skills can benefit from some improvement

Rude staff & crowded course

The course was very crowded. The marshal was so rude to us. The starter did not tell us that we were scheduled to play in a group ahead of us. We arrived early so the starter had plenty of opportunity to tell us that. When the marshal came to us around the second hole, he was angry and said that we caused everyone to be behind schedule. He went on and on. It was embarrassing, and we left soon after the second hole. In essence, I paid $90 plus the cart fee to be insulted and made to feel unwelcome. I will never return to this course.

Greens are rolling nice

It was a good day. Greens are rolling nice which is my most important thing. Tee boxes have been a little beat but okay. Really only complaint is greenside bunkers. Make sure they all have sand if possible but not as bad as I've seen around. They're still playable.

I like the layout and the course conditions. Plenty of different configurations creating a challenge for every club. Greens were a little fuzzy after the rain but overall rolled fairly smoothly.

Slower than a mule

Even though I teed off 30 minutes before my tee time, but the pace of place is horrible. There are at least 2 foursome groups in front who don’t know how to play but played from the blue tee. Not only that, they just waited for the their group to be clear from the green so they can tee off. CR mgnt needs to send out Marshall to check on the course. I ended up leaving after playing only 8 holes. What a disappointed round.

Palace of play is hit or miss

Played here Tuesday morning 7:50 tee time, it was the fastest round I’ve played here in years and it still took 4:45. Cart girl came out once we got to 18th fairway. It’s a long walk between some holes.

Fun Course to Play in Houston

Cinco Ranch has a very nice practice facility. Layout is challenging depending on tee box. Other than water, most balls can be found. Fairways are in very good condition, rough can be a bit spotty. Pace of play was good. Greens were in very good condition and tracked true. A lot of bunkers can come into play, #16 a par 3, has 11 bunkers. Personnel were very friendly. Overall, a fun course to play.
