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.

Loved the Layout
Overall, I enjoyed playing the course. It was fun to play the different holes that mirror the PGA courses. Wasn’t sure what to expect playing after a heavy rain, but the course was decent shape. Most bunkers weren’t playable, green were in great shape, and the fairways were fairly dry. I’m definitely going to play this course again being only a few miles from my new home. If I had one critique, maybe some water stops along the course would be nice.

Great course but no water
We went here for the first time and had a blast. Course was in great shape, staff was super friendly. My only negative was it was over 100 degrees and they had no water stations. They had a cart girl that would come around once on the front 9 and once on the back nine, but water got a little expensive having to buy several bottles at a time.
Hello, u000004624224. Thank you for visiting us at Tour 18 Houston. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Good round with buddies
Good layout and condition except one suggestion to the club: you need to provide water and ice on some holes, Texas summer is way too hot to play without those two things.
Thank you for your review, u8945922. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Tour 18 Houston. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fun layout if you have 5 1/2 hours to spare!
Title says it all. Fun course. But takes too long. I teed off at 7:30 on a Wednesday and the front nine took 2:40 to play. No thanks.

A fun track
I really enjoyed our round here, the concept made the variation really nice, and it was fun to play holes I see on TV. Condition overall was mostly good, and the greens were excellent. Front nine was a bit slow due to backing up, but we cruised through the back nine in the late afternoon, allowing us to finish the round in about 4 hours 25 min. I'll be happy to return here again.

Great course but needs water coolers on the course
I l love this course and we had a great time but there is no excuse for not having water available on any course in this part of the country. In addition we only saw the beverage cart once
In 4 hours.
