Created as a tribute to Texas' battle for independence, The Battleground is more of a links-style course that is burdened by the wind and tricky because of the abundance of water (14 holes). Despite its links flavor, the fairways are narrow, and they're lined by thick rough.

Providing sort of a golf experience/history lesson combined into one day, each hole is named after some significant person, item, or event in the Texas fight for independence. For example, one hole is named Sam Houston, while another is named after a pair of twin cannons: Twin Sisters.

No. 8 is one of the signature holes, a 175-yard poke over the water to a green that is shared with the par 5 No. 1. A waterfall accents the edge of the lake, providing a unique aesthetic.

On the back, the finishing hole is fun because you can play aggressively off the tee, free of major hazards in the landing area that is framed by mounding. The approach must carry water, and you'll need to take an extra club because the green is elevated.

Getting there : From Houston, take Hwy. 610 and loop around the city to Hwy. 225 east. Take the first Deer Park exit and turn right onto Georgia St. Next, drive 1 mile to the course, and look for the entrance on the right side of the street.

We’re bad condition

The tee boxes are terrible, the fairways are all dried up and the putting greens are in bad condition. I will never play in this course again until they fix all issues.

Great Value Course

I played on a Wednesday at 2:15. Not too crowded. Clubhouse is very nice and course was fun. They need to work on teebox conditions but other than that is was great.

Could be better

First things first, they need a starter at hole #1 from the first tee time. Everyone was just lining up and going off as groups of 2 with a couple groups of 4 ahead of them. This slows down pace of play tremendously especially when that group of 4 should have been playing from the front tips instead of the back. The greens were better a couple months ago. They now have crab grass growing on them. We did not see a beverage cart come by the entire round. The driving range also needs to be open when the course is open. It would have been nice to get warmed up before playing.

The staff was really great and the layout of the course is good. Some tee boxes were closed and a few others probably should have been.

Slowest golf I’ve played

Worst pace of play I’ve ever played, 1 or 2 groups waiting on every tee box. We played for 4 hours and only made it through 11 holes before we called it quits. Fairways were rock solid ,tight and so close together that 7/10 times there’s someone from another hole hitting off your fairway. Greens were like putting on the driveway, barely any grass and very hard dirt. Will not be coming back.

Dreadful pace of play

4 hrs and 45 minutes. Stood around on every tee box and every fairway shot. Never saw a course marshal until we walked off the 18th green.

Water Me!!!

I know it's winter, but come on... The course looks like it hasn't seen a sprinkler in months! Nearly all of the tee boxes were so hard you could hardly push a tee in, and the fairways were hard-pack and extremely dry! The extra roll is nice... unless the farway slopes to the water, then your ball is gone. That happened 2 or 3 times to me in today's round.

Please water the course!

Too fast paced and crammed

They tried to cram 2 people into me and my friends tee time and the person me and my friend played with was passive aggressive. Not really a rookie course tbh . Staff was the only good thing here

Good and can still be great course.

First course I ever played in Houston area (30 years ago) and it was top notch. Sure it’s a muni but with some grooming and marketing to support each other could regain top level status.

They are back!!

The evidence of past management mistakes are virtually gone! I’ve always loved this track and finally will put it back on my regular playlist. Can’t beat the practice facility, carts in great shape, Republic Grill is dependable again; can’t wait to get back soon.
