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.

Favorite Course

My favorite course in the Houston area that is open to the public. There were a few spots that were kind of dry looking (maybe a sprinkler system problem) but otherwise in great shape. Pace of play excellent today as sometimes it can be slow.

Pace of play

What a horrible experience….. got to tee off 27 minutes late….. was forced to pair with another person….. paid 109 dollars to wait 11 minutes between every stroke. Won’t be doing that again any time soon.

Pace was horrible

The people in front of us ruined the entire experience. They were awful and we seen them taking 3-5 practice sings to punt it 7 yards or even worse into the bushes and take 10-15 looking for it. Was a group of four that played at a pace of 17….. the whole experience was pretty awful. Standing in the sun waiting for them to take 20 minutes a hole. I’ve never seen anything like it. We are not good but at least we play at a respectable pace. I feel bad for everyone that was behind us. Paid over 100 to sweat and take 5 hours for a round of golf.

Survived the rain

It’s been raining for 3 days straight in the Houston area. Most courses had to close down waiting for it to dry up a bit. Tour 18 was still open and playable. It was pretty soggy and sloppy in some areas but for the most part was still in good playing condition. The greens are in great shape right now. One of my favorite courses in the greater Houston area.

Enjoyed replica Great holes

It was fun playing some of the great holes that you only get to see on tv. Amen corner was fun! Play was slow but think this was mainly due to a group ahead of us that was insisting on playing the tips without the skill. Course was in good shape. Greens were pretty slow which made the holes way easier than what the pros deal with. Thunderstorm chased us off after 15 but played the island green one more time on the way in to the clubhouse so that made up for it.

Value to Cost LOW

For $100 per round the course conditions were beliw par. The starter was not friendly. The Marshall hurried us based on a double in front of us even though we were ahead of standard pace. Many brown patches on the fairway. Greens are sometimes 4-wheel drive off road conditions. And, there is NO SIGNAGE to the holes!
