Longwood Golf Club - Palmetto Course

Was truly disappointed with the course. Played there many times before it was made semi private. Price is not worth it for only four holes changed and no upgrades to clubhouse except for new patio. This place used to be packed when 27 hole track. Showed up to play and only a scattered amount of vehicles and people there. With all the money they made by selling off property you’d think they put more into really substantial upgrades. Hope the members got their moneys worth because I didn’t.

It's hard to believe this club used to host Nike and Texas PGA Tour events in the 90's.

I feel like the flooding from 2015, 2016, and 2017-Harvey have truly hurt this property forever...

To make this property great again, it would need $10 million of new investment IMHO!

Positives:

Greens and fringes/surrounds were OUTSTANDING!

Greens were running 11-13 on stemp meter easily during our round

Appears that Longwood has hired new agronomy team members! Kudos!

Back 1/2 layout (holes 12-18 specifically) are a lot of fun IMHO!

Practice Tees / Chipping / Bump n Run / Practice Bunker and Putting areas were in solid shape!

Tate and service crew were great and speedy!

Food is Excellent!

Pace of Play: 3.5 hours for a 4 some! Excellent!

The optional "B" green placement on 18th Green is a monster from Back Tees

Challenges:

Front 9 needs a lot of help! For whatever reason its still a WIP...

The fairways have been beat to "poop" IMHO! They had punched and fertilized fairways but they look like crap TBH! Really poor

Holes 4-9 actually have a lot of potential but the grass is so poor that it might be another year before they get it right!

Bunkers seem to be in better shape since reopening in 2023

CARTS ARE A JOKE! Better to walk- It's a fantastic cardio as the property is about 6.5 miles to walk all 18

Overall, I think Golf Club at Longwood can make a real comeback but its not ready for "Primetime" when compared to clubs even as old as Black horse, High Meadow, Hearthstone, Sterling, Jersey Meadow, Augusta Pines... Forget even competing against HP and the private clubs in North Houston.

I would recommend it to anyone and will play it again. I hope they continue to invest in the club and the golf course directly!

For the price the course is no where near worth it. I will give it the greens were in great condition outside of that it was okay. Needs to be a 65 dollar course.

This is the 1st time playing since the renovation and it won't be my last. I enjoyed everything about the course. Friendly staff, nice fairways and fast smooth greens. Food was good too. If you can play for under $100 on the weekends it's definitely worth it.

Great greens , new layout is just ok , not worth 80 bucks during the week , wknd rates no way. Will be nicer this spring / summer but as of now way overpriced. The course was my fav couple years ago 🥲

Overall course is like you’d expect in early March. However, the greens were amazing. Steep price though.

Course was in excellent shape for winter conditions. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition

No Marshal. Had a group of six and seven people in front of us. 5 hours to play.

The course layout was good and the conditions overall were above average for this time of year. However, it seems the course does not care how many people are in a group. We will be behind two groups of five, a group of six, and a group of seven. Yes 7! Needless to say the pace of play was unacceptable.

Longwood is a fun course with challenging greens and long par 4s. Course was a little busy but pace of play on a Monday was great. The greens and fairways were in great shape and most were true and fast. Will definitely play there again. It is a little pricey for a weekday but you can get hot deals on GolfNow.

This was my second time playing Longwood post-renovations and I remain pleased with what they've done. It appears they still have some drainage issues but nothing that should keep you away. In fact, the bunkers were in really good shape given that the rest of the course was damp.

This course has a great mix of holes. Some you can be aggressive and others where you have to play it safe. I wish the cost was a little lower but I'm sure I'll be back at some point.

Fairways are getting better last 6 holes are great. Best greens in the area!

First time playing Longwood since they remodeled the course. Great layout. All new greens. Greens are super hard right now, challenging and fast!
