I finally played golf in Houston area after living here for a year. Cinco Ranch opened in 1994. It is a course that gets lots of play. It shows. The fairways are thin and the greens are a bit bumpy. Everything is in mediocre condition except the bunkers. I thought the sand was of excellent quality. The course reminds me of Tustin Ranch. However, Cinco Ranch has more blinds shots. There are numerous water hazards that you can’t see from the tee. On several holes there are lateral hazards that have grass so thick that forget about it if your ball enters. I like the course but I think I would rather drive farther towards the city and play cheaper muni courses.
