Wildcat Golf Club - The Highlands
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Snobby workers
Saw good reviews and wanted to play here. So I was excited to play here however, first thing I noticed was the carts were not good. No GPS and ripped seats. Weeds were everywhere and the pace of play was horrible. 1st tee box was packed so I was told to start at 10. Then as I play on I see a bunch of workers playing holding up the course back on hole 4 or 5. Unbelievable behavior from the staff. Just a overhyped municipal course. Best thing was the city views, besides that not coming back for the price.
Was just meh
Maybe I was expecting too much since I saw this course on a lot of Top 10 courses in Texas. I golfed Heritage because the other course was closed. That meant everybody golfed Heritage and it was packed and slow. The marshal allowed a 5-some behind us. I've golfed courses in Phoenix that don't have a weed. This course definitely had weeds. No GPS on the carts. It seemed like a standard middle-of-the-road public course. I don't get the hype.
Nice Golf, Very Good Conditions
My wife and I played this course and really enjoyed the lay out of the course. We had perfect weather and since we were a twosome a couple of players in front let us through. We have a very nice 4 hr round.
Good Track; Challenging
This was the first time on Highlands. Greens were ok...a bit on the slow side. Bunkers were good and the fairways were firm (with ample good grass). There were a few visually "weird" holes that were difficult when playing the course for the first time.
Overall, while my son recommended the Highlands course over the Lakes, we preferred the Lakes.
It seemed to me that there were more blind shots on Highlands with unknown outcomes, than there were on the Lakes course.
Always great
We love playing Wildcat. Conditions are always excellent and the staff is friendly and professional.
Good Course; Poor Pace of Play
Overall an enjoyable experience. After several days of cold weather and way too much rain, the course was in pretty darn good shape. Greens were great - relatively fast (despite all the rain), and rolled true. Course was a bit too wet in a few places, but not so wet to require CPO. Everything except pace of play was good. Pace of play was horrible. It took over 5 hours for the round. They MUST get Marshalls on the course to ensure pace of play is reasonable (ideally at the 4:15 pace they profess).
Wildcat- Highlands was a great experience
First time playing Wildcat, weather wasn’t the greatest but everything else was top notch! Staff was welcoming and friendly, course was in great shape for this time of year. Played on a Monday morning and it seemed like we had the course to ourselves. Two groups allowed us to play through with easy. After the first round, we payed the inexpensive replay fee and played a second round. Already looking forward to my next visit to the challenging course
Hills in Houston?
So much for everything is flat at sea level! Incredible rolling hills, lakes, streams, views and wildlife. Can’t wait to come back!
Great as Alays
The best facility in Houston. Course is in great condition and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Was pretty busy and still played in 4 hours. Good job Marshalls.
