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.

Hole 9 Photo submitted by bullet2008 on 08/20/2013
Best public course in the Houston area
Each time I play is like the first time. Memories are made here
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.
Terry's take
The course is under repair right now in some places. The peninsula hole was closed, which detracted form the enjoyment somewhat. Overall the course was in very good shpe for this time of year. A few of the greens were shaggy, Overall, it was a very good course for the money, using golfpass.
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.
Tour 18 not up to Par.
Too much repair going on at Tour18 now. Hole #9 is closed. Too much house lot construction backed up to the course. Not sure how long the mess will continue. Not worth the price currently.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Tour 18 Houston!
Under Repair
I think they shouldn't charge full green fees if the course is under major repair. Seems like a fun idea that hasn't held up due to maintenance problems/ storm damage.

Hadn't played here in a while
The course was in good shape except for number 9 that was being reworked. Missed getting to play the island green. There was a lot of other repair work going on around the course as well as new housing beside it that changed up some of the look and travel between holes. Greens were firm and fast. Fairways were green and clear of weeds. Very nice day to play golf in Houston.
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.
Non disclosure.
When booking no one stated signature par 3, 9th hole was closed. It made the round a disappointment.

I am disappointed that hole 9 is under construction.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Tour 18 Houston.
It was disappointed
I may expected too much. The course condition was fair. Hole 9 was under repaired which was disappointed not to play an island green hole. All green were also slow. Cart does not have GPS. The brake was difficult to operate. We were told all carts are the same. If the course is to be premium course than make it so. If it is for so so course, then it is just a good course but not premium course.

Talk of the Town
I remember a day people would rave about playing this course. Now it’s just another course. #9 is closed due to repair & the hospitality is awful. I’ve had friendlier conversations with a cactus.

Island Green Closed
I would say overall the course was in Great Shape! My only two Critiques is that, had I known the Island Green was closed, I probably would not have booked this tee time. I fully understand maintenance has to happen. Either it was my mistake and didn't read that it was closed or it was just not clear that it was closed. I also had issues with the lawn mowers. Usually when the players/customers are in the area they maintenance people will turn off or stay away from the players/customers. That day there were a few times where that did not happen. They either kept working like we were not there and did not power off the machines. I must say though, the course was in a Great Shape! My Critique by no means means I did not enjoy our round. Just being honest with my experience.
