Wildcat Golf Club - The Highlands
About
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.

Play here
Greens have been punched and sanded, which have to be done. But they roll good and it will only get better. My only complaint is the pace, Marshall's ride around but the pace didn't imorove.. During the week, great place. Weekend, expect 5 hours.
Worth it
Course is almost always in great shape. They have recently punched and sanded the greens, normal maintenance, must do. The greens still roll good although a little slow today. Pace was slow to start but picked up. Played today in less than 5 hours.
Good track
One of the best public course options and most expensive on S/SE side of town. If you can pick up a round in the $30's or less it is a great value. Drastically different feel from the Lakes course, and a better course/layout/design, in my opinion. Pretty easy and gettable from the whites, where I play, so I typically play some of my best golf here. Couple of the guys in the group played farther back and it seemed like it would be much more difficult from farther back. Without a good discount I'll look somewhere else, especially considering I'm driving 45 minutes or so, but with a good price, I'm always happy to go! Based on this and past experiences, I believe ownership is looking to take care of their customers. Always a treat to play Highlands.
Wildcat lakes course
This was a great challenge, beautiful views, long enough to require the use of every club in your bag and was in great condition. There was a lot of water hazards as the name suggests so you really need to be on top of your game or you could lose a lot of balls.
We had a couple slow groups in front of us which made the round longer than necessary and we paid to play the highlands course but somehow was put out onto the lakes course.
Other than that the experience was absolutely amazing.
July 7th
Course is in excellent condition. Greens and fairways played great. Waited at a couple tee boxes but not long. 4 hours 20 mins. If I had any complaints it would be the driving range. The driving area was wet and soft. Couldn’t really hit anything that wasn’t on a tee. But really, that was minor.
Challenging but fun course
A lot of up and down elevation changes. The course is definitely challenging but a fun one to play. Definitely recommend to others.
Play here
Always nice, always maintained. Worth the money. Play the Highlands course, more challenging.
Rain shortened round
Played the Highlands at Wildcat- First time.
Overall, really enjoyed the course, but would have enjoyed much more if I had played it once before..There are a couple of funky holes where your drive looks perfect, and then once you get over a hill, you find you've gone through the fairway into knee to shoulder high rough= lost ball! Oddly, seems like you need to hit an iron or hybrid off the tee on a couple of par 5s! Otherwise, it was a fun course, and in very good shape! We only got through 13 holes before lightning struck nearby...and we headed for the clubhouse.
Right Tee
Course in great condition. Green fast and true. Fairways perfect-wish everybody would repair their divots.
Only issue was some traps needing repair.
Yes typical windy conditions.
Play the correct tees for a better experience!!!
Good layout
Golf course is in good shape, the greens were rolling well but I just wish that you could see more of the fairways from the tees.
