Rating 73.5

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.

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.

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.

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.

Battleground

Course was in real good shape. It was difficult to put the tee into the ground on some of the tee boxes.

Greens were in good shape.

A course layout book would be good to have on some of the holes.

Best Condition I’ve seen in years

With the exception of a few bunkers needing attention, the course was in the best shape I’ve seen in a long time. Greens have held up very well this year. Any complaint I might have would be aimed at players not doing their part. Ball marks not repaired, feet dragged on greens, bunkers not raked.

Really good shape

Played in hot temps.

Course was in very good condition, greens rolled good, fairways were in very good shape.

My favorite course on the south side of Houston, they have always done an excellent job. Not my last round here at all.

Good enough?

Played course for $40 with a friend. Don’t expect to be blown away. Tee boxes were really hard and patchy. Must have just rained because parts we’re slightly flooded. Next to no information about the holes on the scorecard (full page of ads instead wtf) and yardage markers we’re difficult to spot (they’re little dots on the Cart path). Hit water hazards that I didn’t know existed due to lack of info. Course itself isn’t that challenging which was fine with me. Greens weren’t too crazy
