Rating 73.6

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.

Fun had by all

We had a good time at this course and will definitely return. The value for the money spent was very good.

My son in laws needed rental clubs and the quality of their rentals was as good as their own clubs.

While recent rain storms had drenched area courses, the Wildcat Highlands was in very good condition.

We were glad that we chose to play here today.

Rough Greens

I know almost every course in the Houston area had suffered some damage from our deep freeze earlier this year. I completely understand and Wildcat seems to be working hard on getting their greens back to the quality I have seen them in the past. Just made it a little more challenging then usual.

Great course

Great course, hole 17 flag on fairway so I’m assuming they are working on greens on hole 17.

Scorecards are not placed on carts. I would expect this from Wildcat Golf Club.

Punched Greens

Not worth the money when you end up playing on punched greens and one green was turned into a temporary green for $72 green fee at 2:30. $90 before 2:00. 18th green was in horrible shape.

Blind Shots

It was my 1st time playing the course. Showed up 40 minutes early before my tee time to get warmed up at the range to find out the ball machine ran out off range balls. Having course knowledge on this course is a MUST because the course has a lot of big hills EVERYWHERE! The pace of play was held up due to all the blinds shots on almost every hole. There were a lot of blind shots hit throughout the day. The greens were a little bare, but it looks like they were recovering from the Texas freeze. Hole 17’s green was under repair, so the 17th green was basically a field with a hole it it.

Best front nine of my life!

The course is in pretty good shape, a few of the greens have freeze damage. I played the front nine well and I should have stopped there. The back nine put me in my place. It’s golf! Just go enjoy the round.

Some rough spots

Still mending from the freeze so understandable. I’ve always felt Wildcat could stand to let the fairway turf grow a little longer to allow the Bermuda grass to fill out a bit more.

The freeze hit the greens

Putting is difficult when the greens are damaged from the freeze. Slow speeds of putting due to long grass to grow in the greens, otherwise fair conditions.

Incredibly Slow

1st couple of holes were moderately slow. Then remaining 7 on front were incredibly slow. 2 in our 4 some quit after 9. The remains 2 quit on 15 because they played 4 holes in 1:25. Crazy slow.

Worst condition ever. Never again

Absolutely terrible. Used to love the course, but they have apparently decided to let it go to he77. Every aspect of the condition was embarrassingly bad.

Everyone in the group said they would never go back.

Not worth the price

Course in poor condition. Greens are bad, even had a replacement green on 17 that was just the fairway with a flag in the center.
