Longwood Golf Club - Post Oak Course

I like this golf course and the Staff very much.
This 27 golf complex has it all great golf and practice area. The club house is great and so is the beverage cart. The greens are very good and it is a very fun place to play golf. This golf course is a must in the Houston area.

I have played Longwood off and on for years. Yesterday the greens were very good, the fairways decent, and the teeing area was average. The only drawback is that most every sand trap I looked at or was in was not playable. I know with the new direction the course is taking this will be taken care of. But the traps are in dire need of both drainage and new sand.

Course needs to be maintained better (sand traps, watering). Sad to say not an Arnold Palmer Course any more.

great course,excellent layout,plenty of trees and hazards,very demanding but fair course, greens could be faster though

Will definitely play course again. Course was in great shape and pace of play was awesome

Course was recently purchased by Cypress lakes and while they bought new carts and range balls the course has yet to see any real changes. The greens were marginally better but the rest of the course needs water. It was 97 degrees and half of the four water coolers were empty. We saw a drink cart only once and that was on the fourth hole. (Bring your own cooler and water) When we mentioned the problems the staff was less than concerned. Too bad. Save your money and play somewhere else

Allowed a five some early on Sunday morning. Need I say more?

The staff was friendly, courteous, the course could use some growing in, there were burnt spots as well as soggy spots. Grass was particularly thin/wiry off of the fairway. This course requires special attention be paid as the flow is convoluted, pay attention to the signs as you may be confused as to where the the next hole is. Some holes are several hundred yards apart,

I played golf with my dad , everyone was happy. Staff was great

First time here. The staff were nice although not extremely excited. We were a twosome and our tee time was around 10. When we got to the first tee the course looked ok, nothing superb but fairly well kept. We started with the hole 1 being completely empty, the group ahead of us was a three some and were already on the second shot of the second hole. By the 4th hole we already were slow in pace... they have clocks on every other hole to check your play time and we were already 10 minutes behind. Remember, we were a twosome. By the end of the 9th hole we were almost 2 hours and 20 minutes into play... we thought maybe we were to eager. So we went to the second round and all of the sudden we where behind a foursome. This probably happend because they have 3 courses wuth 9 holes so they conbine them. This was killing us. After 4 holes we decided to skip a hole and pass the foursome that were just teeing of on the 5th hole. What a surprise, we got to the next tee to find a twosome, waiting on another two some to finish putting a par three. We said hi maybe expecting something like you guys want to join us and finish with us as a foursome, but we didn't want to push it, so it never happend. By then the next group (the foursome) already got to us. They said, are you sure you are on the right hole. We said we were behind them but wanted to skip them a hole thinking that we were faster due to the fact that they were 4 and we were 2. Not very friendly people, by the way. They told us that this is normal pace here. That if we wanted faster we would need to play at 4 pm when no one was here. We decided, oh well, let's wait. The whole next to us was a par 5 and it was empty, don't understand why because we where super cramped up. Any way, we decided to play this par 5 in the opposite direction just to have something to do in the mean time. We came back to the hole later, played it and oh surprise, we cought up to the foursome again teeing off the next tee. By then we decided to call it quits. Headed to the club house, got there, looked at the clock and it was 2:43pm. 4 hours and 43 minutes after our tee time and we didn't even play the last 2 holes. My whole story goes for the marshals and starters to please do their job and plan the groups so everyone can go out, hit a round of golf and maybe make it to supper at home, the same day. Horrible experience.

It's been 10 years since I last played Longwood -- my how time flies. The course seemed to be in the best shape that I had ever seen it, with a lot of previous rough spots ironed out. greens on Palmetto had been punched by Pine rolled well, if a little slow just for the course to protect from over cutting in mid-summer heat. Traps were in good shape. The course is very playable overall, requiring decent, not great shots, but it's easy to get in trouble quick if you are errant in the woods. Great day of golf.

Marshals pushy and impolite. Losing money so prices went up. Course is in poor shape. Played here almost every week for two years. Fairways are hard and dry. Greens grainy. I will not go back. Many other better deals in the area. Better courses and prices. Look elsewhere.

Look...if u are looking for an honest review, here it is. I play on this course often and on surrounding courses as well and this course is by far one of the best for the buck. I shoot around mid 80s to low 90s and the name itself does this course justice. Its pretty long and narrow. It is a very very well maintained course and can b a pretty good challenge. Ive had my ups and downs at this course so you wont find me bad mouthing or over praising it bcuz my round suggested so. Overall I give this course an 8 out of 10. Farways are average, greens are slightly above average, and pace of play varies. U will just enjoy the cart ride while exploring this course hidden a very neat and very clean subdivision. Hope I helped!!!

Lots of water in strategic places on this course. There are holes that you will absolutely have to lay up on. There was standing water in a couple of the sand bunkers, but I was able to avoid them. Greens were faster than usual, but overall, a great round.

When I pulled into the car park I was unsure which side the pro shop was located. There was a smell of septic and trash.
The round was discounted on golf now so for the two of us cost $109 plus tax. We were told which cart number to take and the course appeared to be very full. The starter was leading groups go every eight minutes. Anyone who is a golfer will know that that is not enough time to play an entire hole. We were waiting from the first Teebox till the last approach on the 18th green.
The course had a number of holes roped off which should not have been based on the condition of the course. At the turnaround point, we went into the bar area to get a quick drink and sandwich. It took so long that only two of us got served and we had to leave before other groups overtook us.
There are significantly better deals and courses out there for that much money.

Greens were slow and very true. Tee boxes okay but needs alignment on post oak.

Other than a little damp and couldn't take carts off path, was excellent. Hardly anyone there with potential for rain.

5+ hours on a Tuesday morning. Marshals are too concerned about finding golf balls other than pace of play. If your looking for a long day on the golf course play longwood! You're guaranteed 5+ hours

Played on a Sunday afternoon - you definitely want to take advantage of the GolfNow special prices!

Started on the Pine course, greens had been aerated and top dressed about 1-2 weeks before and were slowish and bumpy. Rest of course was in good condition.
Moved to plametto nine; greens either had not been worked on yet or had finished recovering because they were MUCH better, actually made some putts on the back nine.

Nice setting, deer will just walk right out of the trees and graze early and late, and some great holes.

I would say that the greens will be back in prime shape in about 3-4 weeks

Enjoy!

Way too slow. Always seems to be an issue at this course. Greens where is good shape and the course was in pretty good shape but the pace of play was terrible.
