Trails of Frisco
10411 Teel ParkwayThe Trails of Frisco golf course is one of Jeff Brauer’s most unique designs -- primarily because it doesn’t fit the mold of his other courses. Brauer, who’s known for his open, straight-forward courses, designed this one to tip out to a par 71, 6,900 yards, loaded it with hidden creeks, scenic wetlands, extensive bunkering, and massive greens. In fact, first-timers will be confused here. They’ll face intimidating views off the tee that leave doubt as to the problems that loom ahead, and it is definitely possible to lose all of your balls off the tee if you’re struggling.
The golf course is just flat-out challenging, especially on the front nine. No. 1 opens up with a creek on the left that cuts in front of the green and generally makes its presence known on every shot. The play here is to stay right and stay away from its subtle presence on the left side. The creek comes into play on Nos. 2, 4, 5, and even No. 9, where it chutes from the fairway in front of the green and surrounds the green of this challenging par 4.
All told, water and waste areas are in play on 16 of 18 holes (including every par 3), and the creeks are enhanced by visible lakes and ponds on the back side, even though it is considered a bit easier than the front.

The Asian guy working at the pro shop had no sense of service. My experience at the pro shop today was the worst experience at the golf course during my entire 20 years of golfing because of that guy.
Because of the heavy rain, we couldn’t finish the hole 3 and wanted to get the rain check. The amount on the rain check seemed lower than we expected, and we asked if he can explain the reason. The Asian guy at the pro shop was saying “that’s the amount I give today. If you don’t need the rain check, just go“ and “you should appreciate to what I gave you” and even throw the rain check to the side of the table and asked us to go to the side and wait him until he talks to the next customer without finishing our conversation. After we came out from the pro shop, me and my friend talked to each other that this is the worst experience ever. This guy even came out from the door, followed us and cursed with F words. And when we asked what he said, he said he didn’t say that. What’s going on at this golf course? Never expected this kind of situation where we paid for fun. I don’t even know how he could get a job there.
I don’t know if this message can be found by the owner or the higher management of the course, but I think they need to find better person at the pro shop who can talk with their value customer with better minded.
