Tour 18 Houston
Rating Snapshot
About
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 course!
Course was great, very realistic and cool holes. Pace of play ended up not being good. The staff told us (and we saw) a group of 12 people that didn’t know each other formed and played together all day. We had the slowest foursome ever in front of us and they got hung up behind people on the back 9. It took 2 of us 5 hours to play. I’m sure that was caused by the 12 guys so I’m not too judgmental of the course on that. Definitely going again this weekend.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, DConrad0. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Tour 18 Houston thanks you!
Worth checking out if the price is right
Overall the course was in good shape and the concept and layout make it very fun.
Pace was pretty slow, a group of 5 slowed it up, and two groups of 3 joined together just ahead of us. Marshall was out all day but it didn’t seem to move things along much as we waited on every shot.
It’s a little pricey, but if you can catch a deal it’s worth giving it a go. There’s plenty of little details from the inspiration holes for the golf enthusiast to enjoy.
Hello, Kristopher1045190. Thank you for leaving us a review. We're glad that you enjoyed the conditions and layout of the course. We apologize for the delay of play that you experienced during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Hackers course
5.5 hour round. Please raise the rates. Awful players out there.

Fun course, great folks
First time playing Tour18. We had a twosome that was Amy he’d with another. Also really great relaxed guys. Ally eh staff were cool. None of us were scratch players and we didn’t have any problems with our slower than 4hour play.
Great fun holes. Great people. Well taken care of course.
Thank you for your review, u314162071919. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Tour 18 Houston. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fun course
Greens were okay, bunkers need work. Many not raked for awhile and inconsistent sand depth.

Greens from Heaven
Can’t say enough about how GREAT your greens were. For a public course (and I have played over 20 public courses in the greater Houston area) your greens, every one of them, are far superior to any course I have played!
Staff was also superior and very helpful.

Not well maintained
The course is not nearly as well maintained as it was when it opened. The pro shop and cart staff appeared to be bothered to serve. The grill staff was very friendly and the food was good.
Not worth full price anymore.
Interesting, but fair condition and surly staff
It’s fun to see the famous holes, but the condition was disappointing - greens veeerrrry slow and not well mown, tees had more dirt than grass.
Starter and kitchen were very friendly, pro shop and cart staff almost surly - would not give a second score card!
Food was good, waitress and manager very friendly
I will only go back for a <$50 hot deal.
