About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6782 yards
Slope 129
Rating 72.7

Parlaying the successes of the Dallas-area Tour 18, Houston's version of America's greatest holes has become one of Harris County's most popular golf destinations. This one takes advantage of the Southeast Texas pines, with towering trees lining every hole, and the impressive conditions that have made both Tour 18s popular with the public.

Two holes stand out on the front side, and they're not the replicas of Augusta's Amen Corner (5-7 on this track). No. 1 is perhaps the most difficult on the course, intimidating off the tee because it is surrounded by wetlands. You'll need a solid drive to start well on this narrow, 440-yard hole. Bay Hill, La Costa, Inverness, and Pinehurst are also modeled, but the other great hole on the front is No. 9, a version of TPC Sawgrass's island hole.

Texas' own Colonial's third hole makes a showing on No. 12, and you'll get to see what Pebble Beach might feel like on No. 13. And those who've played the Dallas track know that the crew can sometimes get diabolical with their stimp-meter readings and pin placements, which is similar to what happens on No. 15-a replica of Shinnecock Hills' 8th hole. The green on this one slopes so heavily toward the front that a three-jack is almost certain.

Doral rears its head on No. 18, the perfect finishing hole for this track. Play the approach to the right side of the green, away from the water left, just like the pros do when they're protecting that precious lead.

Getting there : From US 59 north, turn right on FM 1960 and drive east for about 2 miles to the course entrance.

Greens punched

Course in good shape considering how much rain lately. The greens were being aerated but we knew that ahead of time. Cart path only made for a long hot day! But again rain caused this and made the traps kind of hard to play. This is a very good course and I always enjoy it.

One thing they need some sort of way (bell or something) to let you know when 5th fairway is clear. Now before teeing off you have to drive up to see what’s happening … and feel kinda nervous on the fairway knowing someone might hit into you.

Overall good conditions. Due to recent rain traps unplayable

Hole numer 5 has a safety issue. Blind tee shot and easy to drive into group in front of you. Needs either a periscope to see over hill or some sort of bell to signal fairway is clear.

Tour 18 - must play!

Tour 18 was in good condition, except they punched the greens/sand so beware going forward. We played the back nine first while they punched the front nine.

Definitely going back!

Was a very beautiful course. Fun and challenging. Very well maintained. Definitely going back. They had all the cool and historical holes we'd expect and it did not disappoint. Drove all the way from Dallas area just to play.

Fun course

Always a treat to play here. But a 5 hour round on a Monday isn't what I wanted. The birdie on 9 made it easier.

Good value for what I paid

Greens are hard and difficult to hold. Layout is good but needs a lot of basic maintenance.

Played just the back 9. Interesting concept in theory but doesn’t always pan out. Hole 16 for instance is just not a well designed hole.

They allow fivesomes? And we were stuck behind a group that had a child taking at least 20 ish strokes a hole but Marshall said nothing. Cart girl just hangs at intersection of two holes.

Great course after the Masters’.

This is one of my favorite places to play in the Houston area. Awesome course for scenery and play. The hot dogs are great and the staff is super friendly and helpful. (Almost don’t want to review to keep you people away. But, this place is worth it!)

Always Solid

People can complain all they want, but T18 is always a solid choice. Greens and fairways are always nice and the layout…well that’s why you go there! Got to catch a hot deal to really get value since it’s on the high end. Maintenance crew was scrambling during our round pumping out water from sand bunkers. Those will need some work, but they were on it.
