I played a charity tournament here so I can’t speak to the value because I did not pay normal rates for the course. I am a member at a private course in DFW that hosts a PGA tournament, and so I was not expecting great conditions after reading the reviews of this course. But honestly it wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting.

The good: The layout is fun, not difficult, so most golfers can have a good time regardless of skill level. Fairways had more green grass than Stonebriar CC, which I had just played a week before Trails of Frisco. Staff was friendly.

The bad: The greens were among the worst I’ve played, you cannot hit a true putt. There’s poa annua everywhere on these greens and they’re bumpier than a teenage boy’s face. The fairways, while they had a good amount of grass, were rock hard. The soil here is very compacted and could use aeration and more irrigation. The tee boxes were similarly rock hard, so be prepared to break a tee or two just trying to find a soft spot. The driving range is also not in good shape.

The ugly: The carts were functional but cosmetically awful! There are holes all over the seats, looked like the goats who live on the course chewed up the seats too.

I honestly would not pay more than $35 for a round here. There’s probably better value elsewhere and it just feels like they haven’t invested much into the actual course.

Enjoyed a round on the East Course. Had been a few years since I last played this course, and it was in much better shape than last time. Greens rolled true, fairways were in good shape. Only thing was that the bunkers were awful and most were unplayable.

Beverage carts cane around regularly which was a plus. Course was pretty full but finished in under 4.5hrs including a stop at the turn to get some food.

For early August in N Texas, the greens here are in great shape. Overall the course is in great shape as well. As a single I got through the course around noon in about 2.5 hours.

Carts are still gas powered here, which is a bit annoying, but a minor issue.
