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.

Good course...soggy

Course was pretty wet from the tropical storm that came thru last week. Mosquitos were huge and hungry.
Other than that, the course in pretty good shape.

Battleground is a fun little track with some decisions to be made off the tee. Plays short from all but the tips. All the par 5's reachable in 2, even with the wet fairways.

Nice practice facility. Cool course, will be back.

Good in parts

We really enjoyed the staff - very helpful.
The fairways and tees were in good condition. Lots of wildlife!
The salads for lunch were really good.
But the greens! We have played literally all over the world and my wife rated these as the worst to date.
I will play there again but PLEASE could someone look at the greens.

Greens are in bad shape. All 18 were filled with sand. Tee boxes and fairways are in good shape. Rough is really high. Course was affected by the storm.

Great Layout

My first time playing here and I have to admit, it was well maintained and great layout that makes you think of what club to use in every hole. Checked in 30 min early due to slow play, but the Marshall didn't agree (No Communication). He then paired me up with a fivesome. But thankfully two others declined. Prepare to spend 5 hours due to slow play. Overall, the course was in great condition, weather was a bit windy but an awesome day for golf.

Saturday outing with my sons.

Course was very nice. Fairways were just right to improve your game. Not too small and not too wide. Only problem I found was that around half the greens had many large holes in them. They were usually in one section of the green so if you were on the other side you were ok. Good value for the price. Will go back again and recommend to others.

Great course for the money

The course was really wet. But it rained all week before we got to play. Great course for the money, can't wait to play it again once it is dry. Definitely worth checking out.

Good value

We got a lunch (fish tacos with salad and rice and beans) included with the round as part of the deal. Food was decent. Clubhouse nice and staff friendly.
Course was not too crowded and we saw marshals several times during the round which was good.

Greens lightning fast but rolled true. Bunker sand in decent shape. Course could have used more yardage markers but overall very enjoyable.

Tight playing course with fast greens. Had a lot of fun playing, but the pace was slow...probably because it was a Sunday morning and the old ladies were out.. Other than that, I would recommend!

Great Value

This course really is one of the best deals in Houston. The only problem is standing water. Some holes have trouble with drainage and there is a lot of standing water. This leads to several areas of swap like mud conditions which can come into play. Other than that, one of my favorite places to play in the Houston Metro area.

Nice course

I live in Deer Park and like the course, it's challenging but not so much that you get too frustrated.
The only thing that bugs me is they never have a beverage cart, even on the weekends, and the snack bar downstairs is never open anymore due to budget constraints. If you want to buy beer or Gatorade or something you have to go upstairs to the bar, and if you are buying beer you can only buy three at a time unless you have your playing partner upstairs in person with you. That's a pain, but the course is nice.
