Not all it’s cracked up to be?
I was a little underwhelmed by this course. With such good reviews overall, frankly I expected a little more. The course itself was playable for the most part and in good nick. My main concern centered around several holes having blind shots off the tee and unexpected issues for reasonably long and straight drives i.e. run out of fairway. The other problem for me was that frankly the course is pretty ugly! It has a general feel similar to some of the Scottish Links Courses which some folks like. Think open, exposed areas, etc. around the edges of the holes however, there were some fairly gnarly areas. Overall, not for me I’m afraid.
Excellent as always
We played the day before Thanksgiving, when I expected most courses to be booked solid. Pace was great and course was in excellent shape, especially given the time of year. I could play here every day and be happy.
Good course conditions / slow pace of play / no cart girl
Pros:
- good course conditions
- good course layout
Cons:
- bad pace of play
- no cart girl (didn’t get a single drink the entire round)
I breezed through the front 9 but was jammed up on the back 9. I left early it was so bad.
MANAGEMENT: There were no marshals to be seen on the back 9 and it was evident they didn’t know how to do their job - they were all huddled together just talking when I did see them on the front 9.
Enjoyed the track
Enjoyed the course. Nice facility. Variety of holes. Great value. I would play again when in Houston!!
Most difficult course ever played
Pro shop staff was professional and thorough. Walked me outside to show me the layout of the practice facility and the directions to the first tee. The links layout of the Highlands course was demanding from start to finish. Seemed most holes you had to shoot long over large gaps to get back to the fairway. Even when I thought I had made a fabulous shot I couldn’t find my ball a couple of times. I believe I would enjoy playing the course again in the future.
First Time
First Time Playing here course was nice and the staff were great.
Fun Day! Great Course
Course was in great shape! Greens are fast! Would recommend to anyone!
Home of the Five Hour Round
Course is good and close to downtown Houston. However, play is excessively slow and the course staff doesn't really seem to care.
Bring bug spray!
The biggest mosquitos i have ever seen swarm the cart every time it is stopped. Bring bug spray or you will not be able to finish the round.
