The Battleground at Deer Park
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Course should be rated HIGHER!
This course should be rated higher based off the service from staff alone. Hands down some of the nicest and friendliest people I’ve met at a course ever! Yeah this course could be better maintenance wise, but the staff and service make this course more than worth it!
Horrible
Battleground has so much potential but it is painfully obvious that no one cares about the course conditions. 90% of the tee boxes were near impossible to put a tee in the ground. We literally broke 8-9 tees just trying to tee up. Battleground’s best days may be behind it. The course is horrible and most of the staff ate just grumpy old men. I wouldn’t pay $20 for this course, much less the $50 they are charging on Fridays. I felt robbed of money and time it was so bad.
Ok course
Not a bad course just not much for the money you pay. Staff and amenities are great. Course management is not very good, just a typical lazy attempt for a city to try and make a golf course.
I really like the improvement
They are making improvements. Slowly but surely. I understand you can’t fix it overnight. It’s heading in the right direction.
It is improving
I liked it. the course was in good shape compared to a few months ago. From tee to green. I saw improvement
Battleground golf course
Was our first time playing the course, and was very surprised with the nice club facility and friendly staff. The course was in good shape and had a lot of fun playing. The course did have its challenges as usual, but overall was the least amount of balls. I’ve lost in a long time.
Bad greens
For the price you pay would expect better green conditions
No food ors drinks
The snack bar and restaurant were closed so we left after nine holes. The restaurant is one of my favorite things there. There should be noticed that it will be closed before we start to play not after the fact..

Good course but the tee boxes and greens were in bad shape
