The Golf Club at Cinco Ranch has a very well maintained course and playing there is really fun - great fairways and greens. Everything is great except that recently I had some unpleasant experience at the starters shack. I am a PLP member and enjoy the unlimited range balls for practicing. Yesterday (June 1, 2015) I finished dinner early and went to the starters shack at 7:25pm, 5 minutes before the shack close time. I talked to the gentleman in the shack, asking for two buckets of range balls. He said he could only give out one bucket because the shack was going to close in 3 minutes, with an attitude. I was thinking that it was time for the shack to close but not the range, insisted on he providing two buckets. And he refused to do so. After some reasoning on the difference between shack close and range close, this was finally resolved by consulting the manager in the pro-shop and the manager agreed to give out two buckets of range balls. Amazingly this is not the only time I encountered similar situation with the same gentleman. About a week ago, I was practicing in the range and thinking to get one more bucket of balls before 7:30pm, the same gentlemen refused to give out balls saying it was already 7:30pm (after exchanged some talks). Other people complained the same. It is really unpleasant experience to have this kind of incidence when you come out to the Golf Club at Cinco Ranch. The club management may need to clarify the policy so that the temporary employee knows how to conduct and abide by the rules. June 2, 2015 Got the managers response pretty quick promising this will not happen again.

Played in January 13. Real nice afternoon. Im a 12 handicap, called to walk on, paid approx $65 and got teamed up with a couple of good guys. Hit balls, putted and was off 1st tee in about 45 minutes. Practice facility is pretty good, nice grass at practice tee, they were top dressing practice green (due to winter and lots of traffic) but ball still rolled pretty good. Staff was pretty nice and pro even struck up a conversation while checking out the practice green. All greens were in real nice shape (expecially for winter); soft and ball rolled well. Fairways were soft and had real good grass. Rough is still dormant and they keep it short enough to not be too big of a pain finding your ball. Guys I played with thought greens were fast but Id say average for a $65 course. I read some of the other reviews before going out, so Ill address those: Beverage cart was plentiful and came around 4 times during round. I didnt walk to school on the cart paths, so I had no problem with the red shirts. A staff member was in a cart next to 18 to give a smile and a handshake and invited us back. I thought it was a friendly place to spend a great Texas winter afternoon. As an extra bonus, they offer you a beer in the 19th hole for the price of your score... Good course for the $$, it isnt Colonial, but then again, you arent paying those prices...

For golfers: If the course hasnt been torn up by high school students or littered with fireworks, it is good to play on. For non-golfers: This place is run by nazis. Heaven forbid you set foot on the property, the Red Ranger will chase you down and follow you for quite a while yelling. I would sometimes try to walk the cart paths as a shortcut to school, and have to put up with them (even at 7 am on the 15th hole). For prospective residents: They are very unfriendly to their neighbors. You already have to deal with the occasional stray ball in your yard or through your window, but they will send angry letters if you have anything on your fence (even strings of lights, only up for the night). The Red Rangers will yell at you, even if you are in your own yard, minding your own business. Do yourself a favor and dont live along the course.

The driving range was in an awful shape. There was absolutely no where that I could stand without standing on uneven floor. Also, when time gets late, workers arent taught to politely notify players to leave the putting green but instead are taught to turn on the sprinkler on players (personal experience). Some of the the senior men working in the shack outside may be unpolite. The workers in the clubhouse bar/restaurant are disrespectful. When I asked for a menu, the lady grouchly said, "WHAT?" She completely ignored me in front of my grandparents when I came over to have a good time. Also, the workers at the shop are uneducated about the fees and price of playing on the course. I must correct them with prices as they are clueless about the prices and try to charge more than necessary.

I am (was) a regular patron but todays round was 5 hours. Absolutely ridiculous. We saw the marshal out about 3 times but he certainly did not get anything accomplished. If you are going to have a marshal on the course, make him do his job. By the time we got to 18 tee, there were 2 foursomes in the fairway and 3 more on the tee with the group on 17 putting out. If I am going to spend $80 in a round of golf, I expect a better ROI than what I got today. It is going to be difficult for me to return for a weekend round when I can go to several other courses and get around in 4:15. If your marshal would have done his job, there would not have been an issue.

I only rate this low in hopes my message is read by the club. Look I understand it is a public course and not everyone is out to play the game seriously. But when you have elderlys with pull carts that hit no more than 50 ft and the group ahead of them is a 3 cart group of only 3 golfers but are taking multiple mulligans.... well its obviously the marshals are preferring to sit in the shaded hut by the practice greens instead of patrolling these folks so me nor the people behind me arent skipping holes to pass them or quitting all together out of frustration.

I was on vacation and trying to squeeze a quick 9 holes. They charged me over $50 for 9 holes and required me to rent clubs even though my friend was willing to let me use his clubs. Had to pay another $50+ for club rental. One of the most expensive 9 holes I ever played and the golf course was not even worth half that price. I would have given them 1 star, but the rented clubs were decent Taylormade equipment. Not very friendly people, especially the starter. It would not hurt my feelings to never play there again...

The course is actually in amazing condition despite being open seven days a week. The movement of crowds through this constantly full of course can be a little tiresome but the greens are usually in pretty good conditions despite some wear and tear on some of the par threes. The one thing I would love for them to do is to monitor the people that go out to the driving range only to destroy the grass for weeks at a time. Those people should be introduced to an instructor immediately.
