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.

Fun Course
The course was in wonderful condition, as it has been for the past six months. It's not super long but it does provide a good challenge with plenty of water and bunkers around the course. The greens were in great shape and probably a little faster than your average course. The round was moving along at a normal-ish pace for a weekend until we got to the 15th green and saw seven people waiting on the 16th tee. Not sure what happened but there was plenty of waiting for the last three holes. Also, we saw some guys on the golf boards cruising directly across the 6th green. I've never rented one of those so I don't know the rules about where you can/can't drive them but that struck me as odd. As of this review there were rakes in the bunkers but still no water coolers on the course. Overall, a good experience at Tour 18.

I love this course
Tour 18's 2020 has been very good. There are more investments to the course and driving range. The staff is ALWAYS pleasant, helpful and efficient. Pricing is competitive. Hole 12 (par 4) is extremely difficult because of the length. I am very excited for my next round.
I am uncertain of my last play date.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Excellent Course
If you kept your ball in the fairways you could reach the greens. This course is challenging in its layout but with its clean fairways and very fast greens it was a pleasure to play, I would highly recommend this course to any golfer who would like to challenger their game.
We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Tour 18 Houston!
Tour 18 recap
As the name states, this is a replica course of the architect's favorite 18 holes across the US. It is great to play here. I don't know how close to actual the replica holes are since I have never played any of them but you probably get a good feel for it.
The course and the greens are a little beat up since this place gets a lot of traffic but this can be overlooked since the experience is enjoyable. Since the place does get a lot of traffic, the pace is slow on the weekends. During the week it is better. Know this going in.
Thank you for taking the time to review us u3208648. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Tour 18 Houston thanks you!

Excellent Course, Good Value
My wife and I have played this course three times in the last month. We get the senior rate of $40. It's a great value. The course is in very good condition. This is a challenging and fun course to play.
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.
Worst pace of play I’ve experienced ever
The course itself is very nice and fun to play with but the groups in front of us were playing insanely slow. Probably a good 7-8 groups piled up in front of. Started our round around 3 which should still be plenty of time to finish. Took 3 hours to play the front 9 which is by far the the most I’ve ever waited to play each hole. We only got through 14 holes before we ran out of sunlight and I drove 4 hours just to play here so that made it even worse. There was no starter at the first tee and didn’t see one marshal out on the course doing his job. Waited 5-10 minutes each hole before you can tee off is ridiculous. Not only that but then wait another 5-10 minutes to hit your 2nd shot and so on. I really like the course but it’s got to be better monitoring the pace of play. As a business I am sure asking a couple groups in the front to pick up pace and keeping an eye on them is whole lot better than losing customers.
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!

Entrance sign missing
Was late to my tee time as the counter person so reminded me. I drove past the entrance because the big sign out front of the woodland entrance was no longer there. Other then that course is in great shape as long as you’re not in the rough. US open penal rough. Swing as hard as you can and only move the ball 20 feet penal. I felt like Rory chopping into the lake in front of 18 green. Still as much fun as my broken back would allow. I think everyone should play this course.
