Good Track; Challenging

This was the first time on Highlands. Greens were ok...a bit on the slow side. Bunkers were good and the fairways were firm (with ample good grass). There were a few visually "weird" holes that were difficult when playing the course for the first time.

Overall, while my son recommended the Highlands course over the Lakes, we preferred the Lakes.

It seemed to me that there were more blind shots on Highlands with unknown outcomes, than there were on the Lakes course.

Horrible Pace of Play

5 1/2 hours to play. Totally ridiculous. Need marshals to get things moving.

Wildcat- Highlands was a great experience

First time playing Wildcat, weather wasn’t the greatest but everything else was top notch! Staff was welcoming and friendly, course was in great shape for this time of year. Played on a Monday morning and it seemed like we had the course to ourselves. Two groups allowed us to play through with easy. After the first round, we payed the inexpensive replay fee and played a second round. Already looking forward to my next visit to the challenging course

Great course hidden Houston treasure

Did not feel like Houston being on the course. Awesome place. Some greens under partial construction but well marked.

Good Course; Poor Pace of Play

Overall an enjoyable experience. After several days of cold weather and way too much rain, the course was in pretty darn good shape. Greens were great - relatively fast (despite all the rain), and rolled true. Course was a bit too wet in a few places, but not so wet to require CPO. Everything except pace of play was good. Pace of play was horrible. It took over 5 hours for the round. They MUST get Marshalls on the course to ensure pace of play is reasonable (ideally at the 4:15 pace they profess).

Beautiful view, a little bit challenge but fun.

Well kept fairway and greens. Had fun! Too much mosquitoes, got bitten badly. Will come back playing again with anti mosquitoes spray. The pace was a little bit slow as it was Sunday. Wished marshall would do the job.

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
