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.

Fun, Challenging...Did I say Fun!1
I really like this course. Winter conditions, though the greens were pretty good and consistent I have played this course in summer when conditions were immaculate, albeit 98 F The layout is exceptional. You will use all of your clubs in your bag. It was windy the day we played making the challenge that much more. Quick round 3 hrs and some change. If and when I spend more time in Houston, Tour18 will be my go to course.

Great course will play again
Beautiful course with an awesome concept and layout. You really do get to play the same holes the pros play. At $89 and the condition the course was in it’s definitely worth the money. Everything was in great shape and the greens were fast. Nothing I could complain about.

Excellent layout but forgiving
Very cool layout with holes you know from watching the PG&A on TV but playable for the less than expert golfer because of the variation in lengths between gold and white. Tour length which is a combo of all 3 (different color for each hole) for mid-handicapper was an interesting solution. You need to be smart about planning shots because there is water and lots of sand but overall is a forgiving course with room on your drives. No unforgiving rough when I played and the course was in good condition for a public course in the winter. People seemed to be conscientious about adding sand to divots in the fairways and greens were in good shape. The day I played it was 90 degree rule on most holes cart path I may on a few. Not terrible. I’m dying to try their individual scooters. Not inexpensive but not outrageous either.
Hi, Twomblytra. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Tour 18 Houston.
Bad Greens
I like the layout of the course. But:
Greens are dead and most greens are just way too small and impossible to put on.
Have temporary t boxes which are really just mud areas set in fairways.
Need more course maintenance for this level of course.
Disappointed in course conditions.

Thank you for playing Tour 18 Houston. We hope to see you again soon.
