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.

Nice day

It was a nice day to play considering the heavy rain the night before. Greens weren’t in the best shape but it was understandable. Courteous foursome let us play thru.

VERY SLOW PLAY!!

We arrived early & started late due to course back-up and late golfer arrivals. The Marshall held us up to wait for the other late golfers, instead of letting us start closer to our tee time. While waiting, we ordered breakfast tacos that weren’t even warm. FINALLY got started & waited several minutes on every hole for the slow players ahead of us. Four & a half LONG hours later, we finished. A few of the greens needed attention. Course was good other than that & we enjoyed the layout.

Great value but slow

Good layout with reasonable conditions. Greens are spotty but are fine for the most part. You can get some great deals here which makes it totally worth it but the only killer for me is the pace of play. They have a starter but no Marshalls and it just seems to drag...5 hour round is standard.

Not worth it

Had high hopes for this course but was truly disappointed

Greens looked horrendous and were so bumpy... I don’t think they were even rolled

Will not play here again until conditions improve

Needs Attention

Greens are in bad shape, course is just over played with carts damaging playing surface around the greens. Although it’s a nice layout I think it’s getting too much activity.

Fun Layout

This course is fun to play and can also be challenging. Course was in good condition. Greens looked good and some tee boxes were a little firmer than others to push in the tee. Regardless, it was fun and enjoyable and I will definitely be back. And on top of that the staff was very friendly and helpful.
