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.

Cart Path

The course must have had a lot of rain that wasn’t draining well. Water in several bunkers and several holes were cart path only. This is my favorite course in the area and I’d usually give 5 stars, but conditions today were not ideal.

Interesting course

Cart Path only, not happy about that with the fee paid. Asked for a handicap flag , nope not allowed today. Not only am I handicapped but my older brother who came out to have a good time going through radiation treatments would like to had a little break. I know it rained Friday obviously the course does not drain well. Bunkers filled with water, No maintenance crew. Sorry but this course does not demand the rate they charge, plus you have to purchase range balls. I don't mind paying for what you get but you just don't get it here.

Where are the marshals?

Everything a golfer could want for a great round, EXCEPT: the TWO groups ahead of our foursome were playing as a SIXSOME! There were six players at every tee box and green. And we saw their carts up on the fringe of some greens!

We were forced to wait on almost every shot...and there were three groups behind us fuming.

The course management has a responsibility it did not fulfill.

Greens, fairways and Bunkers.

The 3 areas listed weren't in good shape this past summer, but there has been a significant turnaround on all aspects of the course. Tee boxes need a little work. Amazing want rain will do for a course and proper care from the workers. Great job.

The best of ALL worlds

The concept of compiling signature holes from different courses into a single 18 hole course isn't new, but Tour 18 Houston has NAILED IT! The very first hole replicates Harbour Town's famous 18th hole. And it replicates it WELL. From there, the 2nd hole replicates the famous par 5 6th of Bay Hill. From there, a 3 hole stretch PERFECTLY mimics the iconic "Amen Corner" & anyone whose been there or even watched the Masters on TV can see it. The list goes on, the front 9 ends with an island green that simulates the 17th at TPC Sawgrass, home of the Players Championship. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you're in Houston, this course is a MUST PLAY!

Slow at First

The pace of play on the front 9 was super slow with a couple of fivesomes in front of us but I have to give the marshals credit whatever they said to make the groups in front speed up it worked wonderfully. We did not have to wait on a single hole after. Kudos to them.

Course was in great shape and quite difficult for my game. We normally play whites but enjoyed the alternating tee boxes. Made some of the holes very challenging.

A little wet

It rained the day before we played. It was cart path only. Some bunkers had water in them. The pace of play on the back nine was bad. It took nearly three hours on the back compared to two hours on the front. There is mo water on the course and there are no ball washers. Still, it’s a fun course to play

A Challenging & Fun 18

The course was great, greens were awesome. Having played it I’m ready for the hidden hill and slanted fairways.

The rough was not bad on most holes, you’ve really got to hit an errant shot to not be able to recover.

I’ll Be Back!!!
