The Battleground at Deer Park
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.

Golfer Reviews
Great test of real links golf
This course is a real links course minus the grouse. It’s layout and , by design, copies the links courses in the British Isles. It is not a links type course. If you’ve ever played a true links course with its uneven lies, deep bunkers and run up greens, this may be a disappointment. But if you want to play on a traditional teeing ground. Then this course is for you. Greens were well kept and groomed. The staff friendly and other amenities very nice.
Battle Ground 12/3/19
Weather was excellent for golf and the course in good condition. Pace of play was good even though there were groups of 5 allowed to play.

Fishing Tournament
Show up to play my round and staff tell me that they are having a fishing tournament on the course. They said we would have to play the front 9 twice and as I was finishing hole 9, there was a back up on hole 1. I ended up leaving after 9 because too many people were waiting for too long and didn’t want to play a 6 hour round.
Would be great if golfnow knew about stuff like this so that you guys would have put it under the notes. If I would have known, I would have gone to Golf club of Houston instead.
Next time the course should think about having the fishing tournament later on in the day around 3pm.

The course is great
The best shape it has been in for a while. Its good to play ur home course a be proud of how it plays.
Pace of Play and Tee boxes
I love, LOVE this course. Great layout and challenging holes. Just enough water to make it interesting. They have improved the greens tremendously and I'm thankful for that. Time to invest in the tee boxes. There are about 5 holes with very uneven tee boxes. Sand traps should be next on the list. Most of them don't drain very well but in all fairness...the area has had lots of rain. My last comment for this round. Started at 9:15 and ended after 2pm. Hit, wait, hit, wait. hit, wait.... never saw the Marshall once... It would have been nice to know he was encouraging the several groups in front of us to move along even if it didn't help pace of play.

Another Battle at Battleground
Another challenging round at Battleground G.C.! The course was wet from recent rains but the temperature was mild. Because of the wet ground there was not a lot of give to the turf. Two low handicappers joined my group and they played to their games. Battleground has some hidden water hazards so it's good to review their guidebook. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I recommend Battleground to the experienced or new golfer.

Good for the money.
This place isn't as bad as everybody says. I literally avoided it for the past 2 months because of the reviews but finally went and the course was more than playable. For the money I spent I'd say it was a steal. If you're not paying full price I'd highly recommend it.

Long Time
Knowing the course conditions, it was far off list of courses wanting to play. Receive some encouraging news from the course that greens were better. Waited a couple of weeks and decide to try. Here we go!
Tee boxes need work. Teeing area not consistent, to much grass and hard. Difficult to place tee.
Fairways are good but little long.
Sand traps were ok with some not playable.
Now the greens. Most of the greens were “OK” but difficult to read. Slow and bumpy. Sign indicated 9.5????? Not sure. Greens were what I expected and not much more. I would give the greens more time before returning.
