Tour 18 Houston

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.

Greens haven't quite recovered yet- very sandy
Great course and always a fun challenge. I do not appreciate paying $80 for sandy greens, however, I think that should be disclosed.

Great course BUT…
Played today between all of the rain the area has been having. Was ok with cart path only golf and that wasn’t an issue. The fairways were green and tee boxes were mostly level.
The problem was the greens. I played 7/13 and the greens looked like they had been punched/aerated overnight and bombed with sand. They were so sandy that the wet conditions made it almost like putting on a beach where the surf hits the shore. Greens were impossible to read today because of this. Now is this a big deal? Not if it’s mentioned somewhere, but there was no aeration indicated on the GolfNow reservation and no one in the pro shop informed me of the aerated greens. These were seriously punched in the last couple of days because the holes were not even close to filling in and grounds crew were rolling greens all during my round.
I love Tour 18 and will always go play there, but there needs to be better communication to guests from staff on these types of matters.
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.
Thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Tour 18 Houston.
Tour 18 July 12
Front nine greens were being top dressed with sand. I was unaware and was not told this when I called at 7 am to confirm my Gold Now tee time. They did provide some discount but not much due to too dress. You could putt on them, but they were pretty sandy covered. It also has been raining a lot the past two months in the greater Houston area and this northeastern located course was cart path only today. Fairways were good condition but wet and not unplayable.
I was a single player and got paired with a guy who was very familiar with the course and thank goodness. There are not many signs telling you where to go and some of the cart path’s are traversing through construction. He also provided me caddy tips as some of the shots are blind tee shots. It’s a fun course and if it was at full peak condition would be a great value course for the green fee.

Course was in great shape
Fairways and greens were in great shape. Conditions were a little severe do to cart path only which became very tiring on the last 3rd of the round.

5 hour round
Pace of play was an issue. We were a 4 some sandwiched between 2 groups of 5 (even thought the group in front was not supposed to be playing as 5 per the starter but once out of site, the 5th was playing). 5 bags was a dead give away!

Ok course, pace of play ridiculous
Foursomes stacked up and they even let a fivesome go in front of us. Right at 3 hours for nine holes. The rest of my group quit after nine. I played 3 more holes and quit myself.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Slow Going
It was Fathers Day weekend so I figured the course would be packed but surprisingly it wasn’t too bad. Course was in great shape and greens rolled true. The only complaint I have is the pace of play. I’m not sure what was the backup but we had to wait roughly 8-10 min between holes. And this started on hole 4. I feel the Marshall should have made the culprit group speed up a little bit. Overall Tour 18 is always a fun place to golf and a great place to golf with family. We had fun and most importantly my pops had fun!
