Great greens!

I play all over Frisco/Plano/Richardson/Garland and this course is a great value. The greens were in great shape unlike others up north (which are more expensive btw) so do yourself a favor and drive to Garland and take advantage of a great deal.

Course conditions

Driving range and tee boxes were good. The greens were in aweful shape and most of the cart path was covered in mud. I won't play here again.

Greens needs some TLC

Played the Champions course and greens were dead grass and they need to redo the grass! I wish the course would just let us play the Masters or Traditions course!

poor greens and fairways

I've played here a lot over the years and it's always been a favorite. However, the greens and fairways were in horrible condition. My group was disappointed.

Poor Value

Came in town for work and found a last minute twilight tee time. The course was almost unplayable....nearly a third of the holes had significant bare or grass-less areas in and around the landing areas of the fairways. Some areas were just completely dirt that should have been marked GUR. The areas around the green were mostly deadpan, bordering on concrete. The bunkers were poorly kept and the greens were heavily pock-marked with obvious annual bluegrass problems and bare spots. I expected a lot more for a DFW area course, but I guess that's what you get for $40 twilight these days. I won't play here again.

Stay Away From The Traditions Nine

The Traditions 9 is nothing more than several old holes cobbled together from the Lakes course. Played on a Saturday and the 9 holes took 3hours to play … yes, three hours to play nine holes. Greens were recently top dressed with sand so it was like putting thru sand traps. Most of the bunkers were unplayable. Also played the Champions 9 . it was enjoyable with several well placed but hidden ponds to steal your golf ball. Never saw a Marshall all day.

Good shape

I played the champions-Master courses. Fairways and greens in good shape with the exception of number 1 on the Masters course. Looks like they lost the green and a temporary green was set up. If you missed the fairway the rough was playable. Some of the tee boxes needed watering, a hammer would have helped me with placing my tee in the ground. I gave it four stars for the pace of play and the overall shape it was in.

Course Great but You Can't Teach Etiquette

I love that they are not gouging us with ridiculously high prices. The course is in much better shape than others in the area, nice an green.

But people need to take the time to learn a few etiquette things, nothing against the course, although perhaps a marshal would help. Rake the bunkers. Repair your pitch marks. Don't just drive into a parallel fairway to get to your wayward shot without checking that it's clear. Allow a 3-some to join your single (you're waiting anyway).

Ok, I'll stop my rant.

Great place!
