Golf Club At Cinco Ranch
The golf : Carlton Gipson designed Cinco Ranch in the
early 1990s. This highly touted residential project was named the National
Project of the Year for 1993 by the National Association of Home Builders
Institute.
The centerpiece of the community is Gipson's 7,044-yard golf course, which
features an ocean of water that impacts play on 16 of 18 holes. For the
most part, the holes are straight and open, with minimal trees framing
the paths to the greens. The greens are unique because of the unusually
shaped bunkers that create very different short game challenges from what
one normally finds.
One of the best holes is No. 4, a 557-yard par 5 that features an approach
shot over water into an elevated green. In addition to the water, the
green is fronted by a bunker that is at least 10 feet below the hole.
This requires a phenomenal, blind bunker shot for an up-and-down.
