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.

Over Booked

When we arrived for our tee time they had no carts available. We were 10 mintues late to tee off because we were waiting on a cart. By the time we got to the 5th tee box there were 12 deep waiting to tee off. Our group left because I dont have 5 hours to sit and wait to play a round of golf.

Terrible Greens and Rock Hard Tee Boxes

Every green on this course is in horrible shape. They're almost unplayable. Also, you'll need to pack a hammer drill in your bag so you can bore a hole in the rock hard dirt tee boxes. And one of the par 3's was closed for maintenance which wasn't disclosed before booking so we payed $49 to play 17 holes in terrible shape. This course was once pretty decent, but management, or lack of, has run it into the ground. Don't book a round here until they fix the problems, if they ever do.

Greens are not good

We love the layout but, the greens and tee box areas are horrible. Starter was great and funny. Made you feel welcomed.

However, the greens are horrendous.

Decent Muni

All the tee boxes are hard as a rock, you're battling the ground just trying to get tees in hence why the place is called Battleground lol

Poor conditions

Usually I love this course but the green are in extremely bad shape. They are adding drainage but the real problem is how bad the greens are. There is large sections on the green where there is no grass. This condition has been a problem for a few years now. The tee boxes are not in the best of shape either. I broke more tees trying to tee up a ball than hitting the ball. management really needs to take a hard look at the conditions of their course.

Average plus

Fairways are good. Tee boxes and greens are below average. In my opinion it’s priced higher than it should be under current conditions. Should definitely get a break when there’s no green on two holes. And most the greens are fairly rough. We played a round in 3.5 hours, but had a Marshall ask us to let a group play through cause of slow play? So we waited on them the next 5 holes. Still managed to have a great time. Love the layout of the course. Just wish it was in better shape.

In rough shape.

Sadly, Battleground has seen better days. The weather hasn’t helped but it’s very overpriced for a course in very poor condition

Horrible ,absolutely horrible course conditions. Greens fairways. Tee boxes were nothing but dirt. Temp green on nine but not noted on Golfnow page. We were a twosome in the mix of all foursomes. Waiting was understandable. But we made the turn and stopped like everyone else for drinks and raw hotdogs/stale buns. We were in the fairway on ten with no one on the green. Marshal cut across told us to pick up the pace. Said we were behind 4somes all day. He checked and came back and at least apologized.
