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.

Good variety

Course is not maintained as well as it used to be, but still good. Not worth the price paid. I took a friend from out of state there and he picked out a shirt to purchase. The price tag was $65.00 at checkout they said the total was $82.00. We asked why. The guy said, oh that's the price we pay. He bought it anyway not to cause a seen.

This is bull. You make a mistake, you eat it.

Will play again…

Enjoyed the layout. The electric carts were an absolute necessity as the distance between the ninth green and the 10th Teebox must’ve been half a mile. Enjoy the ride.

Delightful day

Just the two of us and a pair ahead and behind. Never waited or held anyone up. Beautiful day, course is in fine condition, greens and tees. Caught long glimpses of local deer-does and fawns. Fairways consistent; it would be nice if more players filled in their divots and repaired pitch marks. We played the short (white tees) course but there's still challenge with sloping greens and strategic bunkers. An up-and-down on the tricky 6th (Augusta 12th) was satisfying. My partner birdied the following hole (Augusta 13th) with a nice downhill pitch and putt. The 16th (Merion 11th), is my favorite hole as it requires strategic placing of the drive and danger all around the green. It was my best-played even with leaving the birdie putt just a little low. The 18th (Doral 18th) bruised us both, but hey that's golf. :-)

Where's the Marshal???

The course was in good shape, the weather was awesome, but the pace of play was HORRIBLE!!! We were on the 17th tee box and looked over at the 18th green to see a 6'em putting out. The mystery of why it took almost 6 hours was now solved. Waiting on every shot can get frustrating and hurt your game, at least that's my excuse. Please get a marshal on the course during the weekend so everyone can enjoy a fairly expensive round of golf.
