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 course
Enjoyed the experience. It’s my second favorite course next to Gus Wortham on Houston. It was cleaner than some municipal courses in that the tee boxes had fewer broken tees strewn about. I don’t recall getting too ticked about cigarette butts. Golf courses are not ashtrays, contrary to what the inconsiderate smoker (doesn’t) think about.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Tour 18 Houston. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Tour 18 Houston!

My Favorite of the Muni courses
White sand in the sand traps, perfectly manicured course.. Fairways more difficult than I imagined because they are cut so short. Even if you hit a perfect fairway shot, you need to be good on subsequent shots to be on green in regulation. The greens break like they look (like they are supposed to). I will continue to play this course

Course is in great shape. Tough course. Always a great time at Tour 18. One of the best, if not the best public course in Houston.
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Tour 18 Houston. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
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.

Condition
Condition was not very good and had to use artificial turf on range preventing the ability to tee up my Driver.

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.

Pga holes
I loved how they authenticated holes from the pga tour. I got intimidated immediately by ame corner. Will play again without the intimidation
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Tour 18 Houston. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
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!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Tour 18 Houston.
