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
Course in bad shape
I've been playing battleground for the past three years. I've seen it in very good condition. And I've played it as they list all of their greens about 1.5 years ago. Sad to say, it looks as if they are losing their greens again. Every green is in terrible condition. Several bunkers are trash and most of the tee boxes are also in disrepair. I like the course layout and I really hope they get it together.
Pretty good shape for all the weather issues.
Thought pretty good shape for all the weather issues have had this yr. Definitely play again.
Slow play for winter golf
The course was good, but pace of play (5.5 hours for 18 holes) was very bad for a Sunday that wasn’t very crowded or busy. Started early, 10:30am but two fivesomes in front of my group of three should not have been allowed on weekend. Course marshal was useless in directing/allowing to play through or speed pace up at all.
Damp
This is a great course as usual but it was a little too wet on the tee boxes and fairways this particular day
Battle Ground is back
Its been awhile but the greens are back to excellent as is most of the course. The tee box's need some help but since my ball is on a tee who cares.
Best Round Ever!
Great time. Course was in excellent condition. Burgers were terrific!

took way too long to play. no marshalls and a group jumped in front of us on the 10 was on of the worst outings ever
great features
excellant greens , fairways and challenging course
Tough test, good value.
Tough test of golf, with emphasis on finding the fairway. Water down both sides on most holes. Course is well kept and good value. Pay attention to grain on greens, will affect putts.
Nice fairways / greens
Tee boxes were hurt. Ball below feet, feet on ridge, hilly in most spots. I'm not sure if it was a fluke that day but pace of play was horrendous for a Monday. I'm not sure what the deal was but constantly waiting on tee box with the group behind always showing up as I was waiting. Took 4 hours. Should really advise players to let faster groups/singles (as I was); play through. Overall a good course for the value. Driving through the tunnel to the rest of holes was unique.

Greens were smooth and rolling decent. Sand bunkers weren't raked and most weren't in good shape. A good challenge.
Golfing DP Style
The fairways are in good shape plus most but not all of the greens. Several of the tee boxes are dry and pretty beaten up.
The course requires accurate tee shots, and proper club selection to land the greens and enjoy success.
There is ample timber and water to test to our game. If you're average, or just beginning, bring an ample supply of balls with you.
