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.

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.

Fireball Shots & Good Vibes

Cart girl has fireball shots and was attractive, but not overly attractive to the point of intimidation. Net positive effect on the round for sure. Lots of rain, but it was cool, my buddy mark played "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" by CCR and we totally vibed on hole 13. Will be back for sure.

Challenging Course with nice Views.

First time playing the course Highlands. Really enjoyed the layout and views. Only negatives were pace of play and greens were recently airated so putting was very tough. Do recommend and will play again.

Great course but greens recently aerated…

This is normally a great course, but the greens were recently aerated and were not in playing condition. The condition of the greens made for a frustrating round unfortunately. On the other hand, great staff and despite the rain, the superb drainage system allowed for 90 degree so the pace of play was outstanding.

Nice Track

I really enjoy playing this course. The only issue this time was the greens were just punched. Maybe another week or two and it will be awesome again.
