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.

Great if you enjoy a challenge

This course isn’t super hard but it does present a few challenges that make it worth checking out. I think playing here regularly would make you a better golfer for sure. One thing I wasn’t to fond of was how hard it was to navigate the course. We found ourselves lost a few times even though there were signs it was a bit confusing at times. I did really

Enjoy the long drive in the carts to the next hole cooling us down in the shade along the way. Would deff recommend checking out this course as the conditions were in pretty good shape.

Great Golf Course in Houston!

This golf course is a “must” in Houston. If you enjoy a great layout and challenge at the same time. The atmosphere is incredible and the good vibes was felt in all the round. Well maintained and so friendly staff. Greens, fairways in very good condition. Price-value checked. Very recommended!

This course has a great concept, but the local execution has not been sustained

Tour 18 is a great concept..to replicate famous golf holes and put them all in one place.

However, when the infrastructure is aging...bare spots in the middle of fairways, bridges out of service, significant cart path buckling, directional signs broken/propped up...the experience is far less than the price paid.

One significant challenge: Tour 18 does not maintain water on course and used a single beverage cart to support a full tee sheet on a very warm holiday weekend. We saw this cart only once on each nine...

Lastly a round which took 4:45 to complete--not good on any day but especially on one where the temp topped out in excess of 100 degrees.

Superb

Lack of water coolers on course in 190 degree Texas heat made it difficult to play. Starter said it was due to Covid, most all other courses have them back since the first of the year.

Very scenic

The course is very hilly with lots of tricky shots, but beautiful mountain scenery. Greens in great shape with lots of contour & downhill very fast. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Maybe it’s just Branson as a whole, but it seems overpriced.

Cool course

Enjoyed the layout. First time playing and would love to play a few more times. There was a group in front of me that slowed me down towards the end of the round but that’s on the group not the course.

The course was a great example of some famous Championship holes

The course was in relatively good shape for the amount of play. Greens were rolling nice. Pace of play a little slow at 4.5 hrs. Would definitely play here again.
