City Course at The Phillips Event Center

I’ve played here a bunch and each time I want it to be my last. I didn’t have a REAL reason bc it was so cheap but as of this last round I do. Cart totally broke down, called the pro shop to try and get a new one out, took forever wound up walking a few holes in 106 heat. Kid with the cart passed us cause he had his headphones in. After I went and calmly told the pro about our experience and he got so mad at me bc we left the broken cart on the course... the cart wouldn’t move and they wound up towing it. Instead of the benefit of the doubt to the customer he was yelling at me and getting defensive. On top of all this it’s an underfunded city course and the greens have weeds everywhere that make putting like an old price is right game where you have no idea where the ball is going when you hit it. Luckily I’m moving in a few months so I can actually keep my promise to myself to never play here again.

I've been playing this course for a couple years now, ever since the City moved it's municipal course to this location. I enjoy the course, it could use some tree removal as almost any course could but it's an enjoyable muni. It got 100X better last Friday when my wife and I showed up at 6:30pm to walk 9 holes. I had my wallet out at the register and the kid working the desk told me "That'll be $18." I politely told him that I was paying for both of us and he said, "Yea, it's $9 to walk. Also, you're paying for 18 holes so if you want to keep playing after 9 you can." I actually laughed out loud at how cheap the price was. I guess i don't have to wonder what I'm doing after work the rest of the summer.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice tight challenging layout. Would definitely recommend.

Course in good condition. Staff was great. Pace of play was good. Some holes are hard to navigate if it's your first time playing course.

Hole# 14 fairway has not been mowed in a few weeks and hitting out of the fairway was like hitting out of rough.

Makeshift cart path between holes 6 and 8 is a disaster waiting to happen.

Greens laced with poa annua making putting difficult.

Conditions were good considering the weather we've been experiencing.

Course was super wet, no yardage markers, bunkers were not in good shape, greens were a little rough on some of the holes

Plays ok, course needs more maintenance. Bunkers are hard as concrete and greens have different types of grass.

B/c of all the recent rain the course was still very wet, but we were all happy

We found the course to be rather challenging with tight fairways and angler greens unfortunately there has been so much rain in the area the ball would stick and of course cart path only with a lot of spots you’d lose a shot if not leaced up tight but we will play it again on our next trip to town.

I play this course regularly and it is excellent for a good price. With all of the rain lately it is just an absolute swamp. The greens are good overall and the tee boxes are fine but the fairway are hit or miss. I hit some great drives that would end up in a bog right in the middle of the fairway! If we get some dry weather it will be in great shape but right now it is just boggy and squishy all over the fairways.

The course was in excellent condition with nice green fairways and fast greens. Although there are lots and lots of trees on the course they are not detrimental if you hit a fairly straight ball. The only downside was that there was a few water hazards that didn't appear to be marked and we had no idea where the hazards were as we didn't have a course planner.

Overall, it is a great course with friendly & helpful staff. I would definitely recommend playing it if you are in the area.

Nice course layout. Greens were tough but in good shape. Water areas actually had water +++

Nice course! They are still doing a lot of work to upgrade it, still needs work.

Have played this course several times. Today was very hot and I shot 5 strokes over my normal score. The cart paths need work, but the course itself is in good shape.

Course was in good shape, greens were fast, lots of trees and water. Need to keep the ball in the fairways. Very enjoyable

Enjoy playing this course. It was a little muddy due to the recent rains, but still had a great time.

There are a LOT of trees on this course. The fairways are tight which means this is not a course for the beginner/amateur.

The tee boxes and fairways are kept in pretty good condition. The greens aren’t consistent at all though. Some roll super fast and other act like your putting through molasses.

The staff comes buzzing by while your teeing off without a care in the world and they’ll randomly cut across the fairways right in front of you.

Pace of play suffers because this is a BUSY course. You will literally be waiting at each tee box.

The club house staff has always been nice and carry clubs, clothes, balls and other accessories in stock.

Honestly if your a 0-10 handicap then this course would be fun for you. I won’t be back for a while as the greens staff ruined my last two rounds here, but I think it is worth checking out if you’ve never played it.

Fairways were in good shape. The greens were recently punched and sanded. No way to read any potential break or judge the green speed. No aerification warning. Most greens had bird manure for fertilizer surrounding them forcing me to chip any shots around or next to the green. Moved along easily until ran into several groups of five playing skins game on 14 and the rest was agonizingly slow. First and last time played since city of Bryan took over. Guess all the slow money games amidst sand baggers will move to this course.
