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.

Long round

I was about the 5th or 6th group off and it was still a 5.5 hour round. The group in front of us was a few holes behind and nothing was said to them. The group behind us was hitting into us and we couldn’t go anywhere. Made for a non enjoyable round of golf.

No Ghin rating.

The course is great . It gives golfers the opportunity play a simulation of holes that are famous. Pinehurst, Oakmont, Shinicock Hills, Pebble Beach. Its funny the United States Golf Association is part of the draw to come and play Tour 18 . I would think the least Tour 18 could do since they are using the fame from that organization is to set up GHIN to post scores through the USGA. I am a traditionalist and that is important.

Always a Treat...

Course in great shape despite recent (heavy) rain... as such was cart path only. Greens rolled well and with temps below 90 for a change made for a good day!

If there were some flowering plants, one could be in Augusta playing the Amen corner holes...beautiful!

Great course

For the price, you can’t really beat this course

The course design is awesome, the greens are immaculate, never a bad lie in the fairway.

Bunkers are great, recently re did a few of them

The rough is no joke, make sure your hitting fairways.

Not a very long course. But still challenging

I’ll continue to drive an hr to play here

Got it in a hot deal for 42. Definitely worth the hour drive and what we payed. Pace of play was a little slow but it’s also a tough course so it was understandable. For sure recommend especially if you live close

WET WET WET

The course was VERY wet

I have played here for the experience and layout about 10 times in the last almost 20 years.

The reason it takes so long to come back here is that it is too wet.

The course was always wet.

Very challenging

Very appealing to the eye

But too wet. As a result too long not enjoyable.

Cart paths only.........this course should be closed. Too wet.

Thank you for your comment. Perhaps you were unaware tropical storm Beta dropped 7 inches of rain over the 3 days prior to your play date. Try us again when it has not rained so close to your play date.
