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 was in great shape really enjoyed my round today whoever is the superintedent he is doing a great job he really turned this course around since the ladt time I played there
This course has challenges.
Greens were in good shape except for #6. They were recently aerated so a bit slow. Overall nice course. I've seen it in worst shape. Getting better.
Hi, FJunderpar1. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Battleground at Deer Park, The. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Stiil a long way to go
Greens are better but far from good. Fairways were so long there were places you couldn't tell any difference between the fairway and first cut of rough. Pace of play was good because nobody was in front of us, finished in 3.5 hours.
Hi, swstringham! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Battleground at Deer Park!
Hello, kylsmms. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Battleground at Deer Park.
Kick out before we could finish
I booked a tee time at 4:04pm. We played a descent game had to wait a couple of time on players in front of us. When we were finishing up the 17th hole getting ready to play the 18th the club stuff made us stop and said they needed the carts back that we couldn’t finish the last hole. They were very rude and unprofessional about it. We paid for a whole round and they couldn’t let us finish very disappointed. The course was not I. The best of shape either greens are very slow and the fairways look like they haven’t been watered in a while. Would recommend you spending money else where.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We have worked incredibly hard to bring the golf course to where it is today. Our fairways are in excellent condition, and we've begun to work on the bunkers. Please keep in mind we have had very little rain in the past 60 days. We hope you'll bear with us through this transition and give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Beckett Ridge Golf Club.

It was too hot to be crowded, that's what happens here in August.

Horrible greens a
You’d think for 50 bucks you would have better greens and some dang water coolers. I know it’s a pandemic but it’s also Texas.

Great course but greens need TLC
Great course but greens need much needed care. I would say also the grass on sides of fairway could be cut a little lower. Overall I enjoyed my game.
Thanks,
Isaac G

Greens are freshly sanded, and very slow rolling. Otherwise the course is in great shape.

Blocked a review
I gave a honest review for this course and I guess it wasn’t what they wanted to hear cause my review has not shown up. Course layout was not for us. It’s kinda hard to duck and tee off at the same time. Something to take note of. If the course requires you to sign a waiver after you pay, you probably want to rethink playing there.

Course not for me
Course is very confusing and right on top of each other. First time in my life I was timid going up to my ball cause that meant I had to get out of the cart where balls were landing feet from you. Very tense course and people are skipping holes coming up on you when driving asking to get in front of you and I was just waiting 10mins to tee off. Course was not for me or wife.

Great course layout!
The course layout was awesome. Very easy to follow and posted signage for convenience. I played on a Sunday morning and the back 9 were pretty wet and had some slight standing water, but there had been thunderstorms all week so you can’t blame them too much.
Thank you for your review, Jacob. We will pass along your positive experience to our team @TheBattleground. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
