Longwood Golf Club - Palmetto Course

For a first time could have had better signage to direct golfers where to go. Good value for money though. Will go back.

Except for the pace of play I really like this course

Unfortunately the pace of play was not there. We Played a single hole before catching the group in front of us. We only stayed for 4 holes total which took 2 full hours. Three groups waiting at every hole...

The clubhouse was gracious and apologetic. We were told that Thursday’s at Longwood are usually busier than Saturday’s.

Overbooked?

I stopped playing here years ago because the course was close to becoming a goat ranch. It wasn’t worth playing mainly because of the greens were so bad. But... I wanted to play with my son and for $25 hot deal tee time I wasn’t expecting much. Before I get on with my review, A well deserved high five and Fist bump to whoever is in charge of those greens. Please buy a beer for your maintenance crew as I’m sure they’ve been working their tale off in this heat keeping the course in great shape. It’s in the best shape I have ever seen it in. Keep up the good work and don’t let up. After 9 holes we went inside and had some wings and fries that were delicious. Thanks longwood for all the changes y’all have made. I can now feel good about coming back to play here.

Course was decent but greens we're slow as molasses. Signs galore on the cartpaths only leading you to wrong turns. Apparently 3 nines that cross each other. When laying out a course best not to do it while drunk.

I was assigned a golf cart to share with another. Being 70 with asthma during covid makes it tough. We both chose to wear face coverings while riding. This was the first time I had to share a cart with a stranger since March. The staff needs to get carts turned around quicker or get some more.

I had played a couple of times at Longwood Many years ago so I was looking for a good deal and found it on golf now.com was impressed with the course it’s overall appearance atmosphere and play ability was good however the greens and as I understand to their defense were recently redone were long and slow when I say long the Bermuda grass was long and the greens were slow I don’t like putting on slow greens so I didn’t like that. The other knock that I have a problem with was the excess grass from mowing was not picked up there was piles of grass around the greens along the rough and so on that you could lose your ball just in the roof right off the fairway because of grass laying on the ground once their mouth grass needs to be picked up. I know it’s a work in progress I’m not sure if and when I’ll go back but I might I thought it was in in very playable and I love the layout that’s why I went back to begin with. Just do something with the greens make them faster make them break when the break is there I know it’s a work in progress keep up the good work

First arrived pro shop gentleman was on the phone for 5 mins didn’t even acknowledge me standing right in front of him. Rude to say the least. Course play was backed up and Marshall was nowhere to be found. Waiting 10 mins or more in line at tee box!

Course conditions were horrible. The greens look as though someone got the golf cart and rode on it. It’s always backed up no matter what time of the day. Person I played with even said it was backed up on a Monday.

I only played here because I booked it on Sunday and it was less than $30

The ruff just on the side of the fairway in some places the grass was almost 6 inches high. Lost your ball just in the ruff. Please cut the ruff along the fairway. It is frustrating to see your ball land just off the fairway and not be able to find because of the long grass

Nice pro shop customer service. Range balls have been updated with some new balls, but still have older balls mixed in. The greens are so slow and bumpy which is odd because Longwood and Cypress Lakes are sister courses, and Cypress Lakes has some of the best greens in Houston. I was a single added to threesome but they never showed. 2 4somes in front of me and a 4some behind me and . Just great. No starter in sight so I teed off as a single. 4some in front wouldn't let me play through on multiple possible occasions. I finally had enough and jumped ahead 3 holes and teamed up with a 3some. On the back we caught up to a 2some. Pace of play just stinks here. I finished just before dark, BUT I didn't get to play those 3 skipped holes.

Teed of 20 minutes late due to back up on first tee, spent a lot of time waiting.

Greens horrible and hole to hole navigation is confusing at best.

1st time playing Longwood, booked tee time through GolfNow. Price was different upon arrival at course. I guess I am spoiled by my usual courses, range balls were an added fee to the Green fee. Range is in terrible shape, need to replace the range balls. Greens are in terrible shape, slow and dead patches everywhere. Signs to get to different holes throughout the course is extremely confusing. Would not recommend the course. Plenty of others around in much better shape for half the price.
