Course Highlights
The Highlands course delivers a links-style experience with dramatic elevation changes, blind shots, and carpet-smooth greens that consistently impress recent golfers. Friendly staff and a smooth pace of play make this one of Houston's most rewarding and unique layouts.

The Highlands Course is probably the more stimulating of the two tracks at Wildcat GC, offering better views of the city, natural wetlands and grasses, and some intriguing flat sand bunkers. Case must have an affinity for the No. 7, because like the Lakes track, the 421-yard, par 4 hole 7 is the most difficult rated hole. Watch out for the par 5s on this one, three of which play at or above 570 yards from the tips.

Getting there : From downtown take Hwy. 288 south for 5 miles to Loop 610. Head west and find the Fannin exit, where you'll U-turn under 610 and drive east on the access road to Almeda Rd. Turn right on Almeda and the course is 3 miles further.

Great course hidden Houston treasure

Did not feel like Houston being on the course. Awesome place. Some greens under partial construction but well marked.

First round

First time playing the Highlands course. Totally different from Lakes course with no water in play. Played after a big tournament in the late afternoon. Course greens were running fast until the late evening. Recall one green on back nine that had some bare spots.

My go to. Always

I played tournaments here and when they finished the airport road to Buffalo extension, it only got easier to get there and what a beautiful drive is a bonus. The pandemic only drove us closer. I play almost weekly. Two courses. Best use of a landfill Ever. Great work Team awesome!!!

Good course, a little pricey

Nice course to play, however it always seems like Lakes is either closed to public due to maintenance or tournaments. Highlands is challenging and is good shape

Great track

Both the Highlands and Lakes courses are challenging, but they’re also fun and score-able. Not quite five stars as there are certainly some areas/tee boxes where turf isn’t in the best shape, a few greens could use some work as well, but overall high quality golf experience.
