Southwyck Golf Club

We played there for our first time and enjoyed it! The staff was fantastic, several of the fairways and a few greens were pretty rough. I do mean rough! The fairway on two about beat us to death. Some of the greed were like putting in a gravel parking lot. That said… it’s November in Texas so I understand the course won’t be pristine. However on fairway was decent one you could lose your ball in a crevasse. One green was decent the next not sure much.

So while the season and weather affect conditions, goiunds keeping is also a factor.

We will certainly go play again… especially for the cost. Hopefully in the during the spring it will green up and smooth out.

It can also be confusing where to go from one green to the next tee box. Especially from 14 to 15. So maybe a bit more signage?

Also - I hate gas powered golf carts, which they have - but it did the job.

Always end in a high note. The staff was really great!

I have been playing this course since it opened. I can’t believe how bad of shape it’s in. I really feel bad for the people that work there. The greens looked like a battlefield with sand , mold, dirty patches and and st Augustine growing through. The fairways are like rolling speed bumps. They haven’t watered so there are cracks that you could lose a player in.

I wouldn’t was my time or money here.

Every time I play here I say I will never play here again. Then I need an early teatime and this is the closest and only available spot. When I get done playing, I say the same dang thing course is a dump weeds all on the green cracks that your ball can fall in on the fairway and the one fairway that looks green, I figured out was because they spray painted it green.

The way the coarse is now the only way I would play there if the green fees stayed below 25.00. Its really just a place to work on dialing clubs. The greens even the good ones were really over grown. I would say the greens were more like really nice fringe then putting green. And those were the good ones because the majority of them were unplayable with all the bare spots filled with sand. I will defiantly play again because its a affordable place to come spend an afternoon and work on other parts of your game. Not putting. But I would say that if they start charging more than 30.00 bucks I will look else where, until they figure out how to repair the greens.

If the grounds keeper can just get rid of the green bunkers and crabgrass that would really pick up the course value.

If they could also focus on smoothing out the lunar surface of the fairway, this course has the capability to be a great course in Houston.

I have played here for years and this is the worst I have seen this course. They seem to not care about any upkeep and the greens are absolutely horrible. I only play here when they have deals, definitely not worth the full price.

The course layout was fine, it’s pretty open and forgiving. But I have never seen Greens this bad. They had big brown patches and even sand in the middle of the green at time. Felt like the greens had their own hazards. It was really crazy.

The golf course is in bad shape. Green are in horrible conditions. The fringe around the greens are terrible. For the price we paid, it’s not worth it. Austin bayou golf course is in way better shape than this course and for half the price.

This course is obviously the worst course in Houston. Just a good course if you wanna practice and work on things go out and hit multiple balls on the tea box just a practice course.

One of the best course layouts in the city, but the greens just aren't playable any longer. It doesn't appear any money is being put into the the greens. It also looks like the irrigation system is in need of repair. The only upside, with so few people playing here, you can usually play at a fast pace for a good price.

This course seems to be suffering from a lack of course management. The layout is good, it is tough on some holes with water, and surrounded by a nice/average neighborhood, but the condition of the greens were horrendous. The fairways were so bumpy is felt like you were off roading in a golf cart even when you drove your ball right in the middle of the fairway. Greens were bumpy and had massive dirt patches everywhere. Staff was great and very helpful but $65 for 18 holes felt like highway robbery. If this course had some money put into it and maintenance was improved then I would 100% come back, but in the meantime, I will not be spending my money here just to put on rocks and dirt.

This goes down as one of the worst courses in Houston. The is crab Or Augustine grass on the green and there may as well be sand bunkers on the green. I got you it’s hot and the weather is bad, but the layout is amazing and you could do so much better to complement it. The “lunar landing” with the bumpiness across all the fairways make the ball bounce in all sorts of wired directions, not to mention the horrible cart ride experience. I probably won’t play this course again, unless something drastically changes

Course Conditions:

(1) greens were bear (no grass)

(2) fairways were bumpy - My back is killing me

This is still a great and challenging layout. But, this course is at the end of its lifespan. Bunkers have been removed. There is more St Augustine grass than anything else on the course including the greens which are mostly bare.

I play this course to practice. It's cheap and the layout is challenging. However this is not the place for a real round of golf.
