The Battleground at Deer Park

I love playing Batleground most of the time. I really love the $20 round at 4:00 since I get off at 3:30 from work and play then. The staff has always been so great and friendly. I love they provide free ice most days and all the Marshalls are awesome!! The greens were really bad but they are really getting nice. My only complaint is who ever is setting the pins is ridiculous. On side hills and peaks. When the greens get really good and fast it will not be fun with them in those positions. Keep up the great work Battlegroud Joe H and Craig C really appreciate it very much.

The range ran out of balls, happens there often. Also we were behind 2 foursomes that each had their own cart. Play was pretty slow. I feel like they need to fix some issues but at least the greens are coming back. If the price was lower it would be worth it but I guess they can get away with it cause they stay busy. I’m sure it’s the location.

Good value for the money. Pretty good condition. Fun

I had reservations for 3 but only 2 showed up.i paid for 3 n I asked for 2 carts n I was denied.i asked to speak to to a manager with no luck.i was asking for what I paid for,2 carts due to COVID outburst.not sure why I was denied 2 golf carts when I paid for them n then he would not reimburse me for the 3rd individual that did not show up.

Always liked this course . Can be a difficult place to play, if you’re not consistent off the tee. Really fun course otherwise. Overall the course was in good shape. Would definitely recommend this course. Thanks.

Hadn't played at Battleground G.C. in about 6-9 months and decided to try it again on my day off. Early on, I realized that the course's layout was very challenging. I suppose, I could have noticed it before but previiously I was focused on just playing. In any case, the course is in relatively good shape for fall, almost winter conditions down south. The greens were recently sanded and were very fast, more than I remember last time. The grass was weathered on some holes indluding the fringe of the greens but the fairways were in good shape. Overall, I 'd recommend the course. By the way, it has at least 5 tee boxes for varying skill levels.

Course was in better sahpe then my last round there.

It’s been awhile since I’ve played here but it’s not hard to remember why I quit coming. This place is a poster child for what happens when a city course is leased to a corporate group. The only good, golf carts are fairly new.

Course needs major maintenance. Greens are coming back but never back to what they were when city ran the course. They are cutting them so much smaller because they can’t grow grass! The “memory trees” planted all over the course are beautiful oaks but need major trimming by a trained arborist. Fairways have grass but need to be cut. Putting green comes with “mud traps”. That’s a first for me.

They have maintenance guys running around in John Deere carts burning gas and watching golfers instead of cutting grass. We saw these “clowns” trim around 3 trees and then take a smoke break by the practice facilities restroom. Then they headed back to the compound racing to get there.

Overall course maintenance needs to tackle one hole at time and cut grass, clean and trim trees. Maybe within a month you could have the course looking decent. Don’t be surprised you’ll have enough branches and limbs for a bomb fire! What a shame.

Oh and cut down the cypress “guarding” number 5 green. It wasn’t originally designed to be there. That was a good risk / reward hole before.

Using Google maps plus Lexus navigation I still had trouble homing in on the golf course. Navigating on the course I again found myself lost, not intending on teeing off on #10 but that said met some very fine people and played nine in a fun foursome. The clubhouse is top notch as is the helpful and friendly staff. We did have trouble with the bumpy and slow greens.. I liked the historical touches complete with a replica of one of the twin sisters cannons from the Texas Revolution and the steel truss bridge shipped from Iowa and crossing the water to the 18th green. It was an hour driving time and add a half hour driving back thru rush hour traffic so not sure when II return but I will.

Glad they are improving the greens. Good marshall and other staff.

One complaint: They still need to use flag color to indicate approx. hole locations especially on the deeper greens. Either that or placement charts would help as well.
