Frisco Lakes

Played on 5/27 - Great layout. There are some holes that make you feel like you are in the hill country. Fairways are firm and thin. The grass is there, but it is short, resulting in tight lies. The course is not tight, but if you spray the ball, you will spend some time looking for your ball in the tall grass. Right now, the greens are about 2/3 of the way recovered from aeriation. It would be nice to see them at 100%. The greens are firm and it would be nice if they held better. Like mentioned, it would be fair to let them fully recover from aeriation. The green fee includes lunch, but if you plan on getting something at the turn, you should call in your order while on hole #7. If you go in and order after finishing #9, you will lose your spot at #10 tee. The food is good, but it is not a snack bar/grab and go. I will go back.

We played the course on the 1st Sunday in May this year and the good news was no matter the angle of approach shots there were no ball marks to fix. The bad news was the rest of the course was also so dry that it was like playing on cement. The "new" folks in the pro shop were very nice and also helpful although their inventory of golf stuff was limited. We started our round with two brothers as our playing partners and they were a great group to play with as we found out we all played at a decent pace. Problem was we saw the course Marshall once, on the second hole. We were held up consistently by the group in front of us who stopped and discussed the result of each and every shot. They also visited with "friends" who lived on # 10 for several minutes. By the time the round ended there were 3 groups behind us and there was several holes open in front of the lead group ahead of us. Total time 5hr 25min. Would I go there again, No there are several courses that I have played in the north Dallas area that are in better shape, enforce pace of play and don't charge Frisco Lakes' $86.00 greens fees.
