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.

As good as can be expected after the freeze

Played the highlands Course. Fairly narrow fairways with a lot of angled stances for shots. The greens seem to have made it fairly well but the rest of the course is burned out. It remains a scenic place to play and some of the holes are remarkably difficult. The staff is great. The golf carts are amazing

Great course for the value

This course is a gem to play under windy conditions. Proper club selection and low shots critical for scoring. Thoroughly enjoy playing this course at all time and recommended

Highlands course

It’s a fun course to play and challenging. The greens were recently aerated but still rolled fine. The maintenance staff have been doing a lot of work cutting back brush and making the course more player friendly. The fairways and tees are beginning to green up. If you are visiting Houston, this is definitely a course worth playing.

Wonderful track

Funny how some feel they have to give Wildcat substandard reviews. The course was in very good winter shape considering all the rain that has fallen. The fairways were very good, except for the locations where people drove their carts where they weren't suppose to. The greens were running true and smooth, except where people refuse to fix their ball marks. Wildcat gives you a true test for your game on either course. If you love the game, you will love Wildcat. If you don't play well, it can bite you anywhere. So if you love golf, you will love Wildcat.

Great Course but Slow

I'm a big fan of both Wildcat courses. We played Highlands today and it was smooth sailing for the first four or five holes. Then we hit a wall and it only got worse the more we played. There were three groups on the tee on the par 3 8th and no marshal in sight. It was around the holidays so I understand people are off of work and the course is crowded. But this seemed excessive, especially with tee times ten minutes apart. After 9 the group in front of us went back and played the front again. Probably the right move. It sped things up briefly but we were back to waiting by hole 11. Aside from that, it's a good challenging course that was in very good winter condition.
