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.

Punched greens, slow play

Should be nice to play in about 3 weeks, but there’s cheaper, better options in the area until then.

Really nice.

Course is in great condition. Lush fairways and excellent greens. Fast and true. Weekday pace of play was good. Will play again and recommend it. A little pricey for everyday but good price with Hot Deals.

I may lean slightly to the lakes course but don't sleep on the highlands - linksier style sibling! Great elevation changes in the layout!

Solid

My brother and I bounce around to the public courses here for variety. We want good conditions and a fair price . Wildcat is an upper end public option in Houston and delivers a good value and 2 quality courses, both very different from each other. Highlands is overall in very good condition other than the 17 and 18 greens which are recovering from freeze damage as many greens are in Houston. It was an enjoyable round on a hot saturday afternoon here.

Striking Oil at Wildcat!

Usually, when I play a course for the first time, I don't fo so well. Yesterday at Wildcat was the exception. It was partly due to choosing a reasonable tee-I chose the 6100 yard Blue Tees and played the Highlands Course. This course has a very challenging layout. If you are playing it for the first it probably be good to play with someone who knows the course. Wildcat was in pretty good shape although most greens had burned-out portions. The choice of 5 tee boxes offers a variety of skill levels the chance to do well. I played the course alone and several times had difficulty locating the next hole or the direction of the hole because several tee areas are located near one another. In addition, more signs indicating the direction to the next hole are needed. However it was a good day to play and "strike oil" at Wildcat.
