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
Good value course. I like the layout. There is a lot of water. Greens are auto two putt status. Good value tho.
Battle Ground 2/13/19
Cart path only due to recent rains. Otherwise typical condition for winter months in SE Texas.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback with us, and we appreciate your understanding regarding the weather and cart path only conditions. We hope we can have you back for a better round at The Battleground Golf Course soon! #BGgolfcourse
This course it not good for future.
Staff on the counter so rude, second time in two weekends I see him again, very bad behavior.
HORRIBLE
GREENS WERE TERRIBLE. STILL PROMOTING SPECIALS ON GOLFNOW FOR SUCKERS THAT WONT COMPLAIN . I DIDNT THINK I HAD TO CALL BEFOREHAND TO SEE IF THE COURSE WAS PLAYABLE.
Disappointing
Picked up a round here on Saturday. The greens were just...well...dead! I have never seen them this bad. I really like the layout, but I think they should warn us that the greens are gone! Will try again in 2-3 months!
Battle
Course needs to be seriously cared for.... Players could help by fixing your divots
Slow day
OK for the price, but it was dreadfully slow today. One hole was stacked 4 groups deep, and no sign of a martial anywhere to maintain pace of play. Some holes we had 15 minutes in between finishing one green and teeing off the next. Greens were ok, but the tee-boxes are hard as concrete, and the traps were in terrible shape. Fairways were decent. We quit after 9 because of the pace of play, and there was no cart girl, and the snack bar at the turn was closed at 4 PM. Will not go back.
10/10/18 Battle Ground
Course is in good condition. As a single player I joined a twosome and played course in less than 4 hours.
Battle Ground 10-5-18
Course in good condition for the amount of rain received of late.
Mosquito's & on course service cart
Make sure you have mosquito repellent and be prepared. The food/drinks cart only came out on course after we finished our 1st 9, this was after 10am when many players we're already on course. The bunkers needs some attention.
Nice course
Course is in great shape for the hot weather we have had in the past few months. The greens still need some work on a few of them but overall in great shape. Always a challenging course to play.

Course was in very good condition for late summer. Plan to go play again soon.
impressed!
After my last couple of times playing this course (in mid to late 2017) i was skeptical to come back again. Greens had been damaged and suffered heavily in Hurricane Harvey. Today, however, i was quite impressed by the course condition. It was beautiful, especially for a blistering hot August. Greens were smooth grass and even AND deceptively challenging with their breaks.
VERY SOLID Course and Enjoyed it immensely.
Reliable
It's not the greatest layout or the best condition but you know what you're going to get with Battleground. A good course at good price with reasonably fast play time. Don't recall a round over 4 hours here in the 50+ I've played.
Great Course!
The price was extremely good. $19 for 18 plus a cart is a great deal for this quality of course. However, the man that checked my father and I in was a little grouchy and not very friendly. Other than that, the course was beautiful, well maintained other than a couple of the fairways. I would gladly come back to this course again.
Slow play
Slow threesome in front. Made the Marshall aware of this. He did nothing. He wasn’t concerned. Done
