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.

Hole 9 Photo submitted by bullet2008 on 08/20/2013
Hole closure
When we got here we were notified that hole 9 was closed. Unfortunately the rate was still the same. We also can tell the rest of the course is in really bad shape. On top of that. There are multiple people playing the course in parties bigger than 5. Game is really slow and there is no where to go.
Meh
The course was currently in "meh" condition. Fairways were nice, but lots of dry, dead sandy patches near the cart paths. Sand was wet and packed in most places. Mostly the round was fine, however at standard price of $65pp/round, it was a bit annoying that we booked the round through GolfNow, and got no notice that the iconic #9 island green hole was closed, so it was actually Tour 17 for us today. Had we known that, we probably would have played somewhere else that day, like Houston GC or the Woodlands. There was also some helicopter that was taking off and landing in the parking lot near the clubhouse and loudly flying overhead near the clubhouse when we were teeing off.
I thought I signed up to play Tour 18, not IAH.

Tour 18 Wet but Playable
The course had been dumped on by rains over the weekend and this Tuesday round found us cart path only. The balls were getting no roll of course but the fairways were really nice just wet. Green were running a medium speed and true. No cart girl or water on the course but we knew that going into round. A slight bummer. Carts were clean and clubhouse facilities were good.

We appreciate your feedback as we work to make any necessary improvements. Thank you for choosing to golf with us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon at Tour 18 Houston.
Wet wet wet
The course is very soggy from all the rain we’ve had over the last couple weeks. The main lake is out of its banks. Lift clean and place mandatory. The nice new sand they spent so much time and money redoing last year has all literally went down the drain. Sad. I know they worked hard to get the bunkers right. Greens are in good shape.
Overall still fun to play. Can’t beat the weekday hot deal price on GN.

Great condition, fun course
Courteous staff. Condition was really good and layout was very good. Didn’t play last three holes because of heavy rain but expect they would have been very good, too.

Rental Clubs are Trash
Extremely nice course and staff. I flew in from South Carolina and rented clubs. The clubs were $40+ and were pure trash...
I will return but you will have better luck buying a trash set off the internet than renting their clubs.

Tour 18
Would have rated higher but it was a hot day and they have NO WATER on the course. They said it was due to COVID but I have numerous courses and all have water. Just another way to rake the players fir $3.00 bottle water!

Great course
The Tour 18 Houston has always been enjoyable to play. The course is maintained in overall great conditions . The bunkers are excellent. However, the greens are kind of slow. It would be perfect if they are rolled.
