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.

Good Gourse
It was great course and fun layout
Not much difficulty, clean cut farways, fast green speed I like it.
Great Fall Day in the Highlands
It was a great fall day with perfect weather at the Wildcat Highlands. Greens are in great conditions but faster than most other courses in area. Fairways in great shape. Pace of play was very good even though their was a small tournament going on at the same time.
It's a must
This course was amazing. I chose to play the highlands over the lakes, because I didn't want to loose too many balls in the water. I was super impressed by this course. Pretty impressive elevation changes for it being in Houston. It also had a links style of feel to it, which made it feel like you were in another part of the country. The fairways and greens were in pristine condition. I got a great deal on GolfNow, so the value for the money was amazing. Maybe the only negatives were the weather, it was pretty muggy for this time of the year,, and the carts had no GPS, which is not a big deal if you have your own GPS tracker. I will definitely want to return to this course and hopefully shoot a better score. Highlands was by far one of the best course I've ever played on. Two thumbs up!!
Good luck on first trip
Course is in excellent condition and the views are spectacular. If you never played the course, or it's been a while, you have almost no chance on many of the holes. Blind shots and waste areas that unexpectedly poke out mean that you will lose balls that are well struck and aimed where you THOUGHT you wanted to go. From the tee box, you will be hard pressed to even figure out which direction the flag is on a few holes.
When you do find the green, you will be treated to some of the nicest short grass in the city. If you miss a putt it's on you because the greens roll true.
I can't wait to go back with a little more knowledge of where NOT to hit it.
Best course in Houston.
When you step on to the first tee box this place will blow your mind. You instantly feel like you are playing in a completely different part of the world. Reminds me of playing at some of the beautiful courses at my former home in Colorado. Lots elevation changes throughout, not flat like nearly every other course in town. I love this course. It is challenging, well kept and tons of fun. The price they charge keeps a lot of the hackers away, including myself. Every so often you can snag a $30 hot deal. Pace is fast and odds are you will be paired with someone somewhat proficient. Can't say enough good things about this place, try it you will be amazed.
Great Challenging Course
If you're looking for a challenge but not an expert player this is a good course to try! There are a few elevation changes, blind shots, fairway bunkers, and narrow landing areas but this course is much more open than I expected when looking at some of the holes from the tee boxes. With the exception of a few rough cut holes on greens the course was in great shape! I will be back
Not in Houston Anymore
This is one of the only courses in/around Houston that has actual hills. Considering it's August in Texas, we knew we were going to have blistering heat, but that didn't stop us from really enjoying our round.
Pros: Pace of play was great. Course was in pretty good condition.
Cons: The practice range was the worst I've seen it in years. We played 18 holes and no beverage cart service! I've never experienced this before.
Great round of golf!
This was a beautiful course that we played last minute. Great course that was very challenging. Make sure you hit fairways are you may lose some golf balls. Lots of fun though.
Great Views From The Dump
I have always liked playing this course. It was the first time the greens and the tee boxes were not mowed (played early afternoon). Takes a great course and turns it into a yucky experience.
Always love the view from 12 green of the Dome and DT skyline.
I think good course should let you know when their greens suck so you can choice not to play. Or reduce the rate and explain why.
A Wonderful Day
For those golfers of above average ability seeking a reprieve from the ho hum flat courses typical throughout the coastal plain, This Is It! If it weren't for the panoramic views of the city skyline, one could easily forget they are in Houston while amongst the hills of Wildcat. Fantastic layout, well kept greens, fairways, and bunkers. A classy place.
Located in the center of city
When it's been raining and you don't want to wait a few days for a course to dry, book at Wildcat
Great course
This is only my second time visiting Houston, TX, and my first time playing golf here. This is by far the best course I've played since arriving. The course was in great condition, with plush fairways and fast greens. There were nice variations in elevation and layout each hole. My only complaint is there was no starter on a course at this level - surprising! I wasn't sure if I was playing with someone or not and didn't find out until the end round. Overall, a good experience however.
Great conditions
Great course, needs to be played with someone who's played it before. Lot of blind shots and split fairways leading to confusion on which direction to hit your tee shots. But excellent conditions.
