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.

Always a great experience!

Very consistent. Always in good shape. Greens running true, not too fast or slow. Pace of play was a bit slow but it was a busy day. Such a fun layout

Course is in great shape

Played early, not slow play, groups waived us through. Greens rolled smooth and fairly fast. Fairways were in good condition too. Great test of your game.

Good place to play

Course was in very good condition, especially considering the drought that has been around for some time. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, greens, all very good. Pace of play was excellent, weekday had only a few players out. Practice facilities are a real plus. Standard driving range w/plenty of bays , putting greens are good and similar to the greens on the course, chipping area is excellent. Large, multilevel green w/ greenside sand traps. Only drawback to Wildcat is the cost, $100 plus per player. Plenty of other courses thru-out Houston at lower cost. However, few have the elevation changes and challenging holes of Wildcat. Can't afford to play here regularly, but a few times a year is a nice change from the relatively flat courses in this area of Texas. Would recommend playing here!

Staff are disorganized and unreasonable

We came to play with a group of 5. We talked with the cashier in the pro shop and we’re told that only 4 people could play on a hole. He also told us for the fifth member that we could pay a fifth cart fee of $30. We said great we’ll just alternate in the fifth player and went on our way. But, when we got to the fifth hole, the Marshall came and told us we were kicked off the course for having five people play. We tried to explain the situation, but he refused to listen. It’s a shame because I actually enjoy the course.
