About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6782 yards
Slope 129
Rating 72.7

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.

Tee Boxes & Bunkers need work.

Why are the Water cans not back in place? Bunker rakes are back, no flag restrictions & no Covid mask rules for staff or customers. Why no water for golfers? Also, the new home construction area on the back 9 around holes 16 & 17 are drastically changing the look & feel of the course in a negative way.The new apartment complex on the back 9 was tough to see so close to the course & now more intrusions to the ambience of the course is not a good thing. What's next, a sewer plant or machine shop? Greens, fairways & golf carts were in good shape.

GHIN not Available

Played this course only because it was close to my hotel and IAH airport. I’m glad I picked to play here and change to experience somewhat of the famous PGA tour holes. The staff were really nice during checkin, starter let us play with 5 but we kept the pace. The hole markers could use some cleaning or retouch so we can read the wordings but no big deal. I could not use my GHIN app to do my stats as the course was not even show up on the app. overall, I enjoyed my round and looking forward to play this course again.

Definitely worth the money

I had been wanting to play here for a long time a d I finally did. After playing a lot of other courses after the freeze happened I was disappointed at how poorly the greens were fixed. Tour 18 greens were in great condition! Bunkers were kept up nice and the practice facility was well taken care of. And they have stand up carts you can ride!! This place was super cool and I had a great time!

Shambles not Scrambles

Played here before when the course was younger. Instead of growing into a nice mature course it has become run down with everything old and in desperate need of a facelift Really disappointing were the bridge supports separating from the bridges. Tee boxes were terrible and hole markers nearly illegible or missing entirely. Was excited to play there with my daughter so still had a good time. At least we were paired with a friendly twosome who played well. Luck of the draw. A very average course with very little appeal.

Loved the course!

Replicas of professional tour holes is a novel idea for a golf course and we found the holes to be pretty faithful to the originals. The holes were all interesting, of course, and were fun to play. There was even an Amen Corner with Augusta’s 11, 12 and 13 replicas all in a row on the front nine (holes 5, 6 and 7). The finishing hole was the Blue Monster from Doral.

We had played the course for the first time a week ago and decided to come back, and we would definitely play this course again if we return to the Houston area. We were aware of the freak winter storm Texas had a month ago and knew the course might not be in prime condition, but the greens were decent and we had no complaints about the course conditions.

Course was in average condition. Some of the tee boxes were in bad shape. Kitchen was closed due to some problem. Pace of play was slow. We arrived a little early and although no one was on tee we were not allowed to start until another group who were late teed off. We were always waiting on them. Need to give Marshal ability to speed up play especially at tee box

Great course!

Great course to play these iconic golf holes. Only downside was it was cart path only, since it rained that morning before sunrise. Played in four and a half hours. Pace was slow for us! Greens were slower than we expected. We would definitely go back.
