Wildcat Golf Club - The Highlands

The course was very well kept overall. The pace of play was excellent.Best views of the city! I think they did a very good job of starting people on time. The one thing that wasn't as they describe is the facilities, in their website they state that at one point they where the number 1 as far as facilities goes. They are average.... I'm not saying there bad, but I've gone to munies that have way better facilities.
I thought it was a little bit over priced.

Wildcat is quite difficult but the more you play and the more you get to know the course the more it is

This course was a nice, challenging one to play that resembles a links style course. The course was overall in good shape, but did have a few weeds on the greens popping up here and there. Don't expect to see that at a course with these prices, but I understand that can be tough to manage. Pace of play was good too.

Lot of blind shots if you do know the course. Nice views and hills

I've played the Lakes 3 times but 1st time playing Highlands, not sure which I like better. Both interesting courses for the Houston Area, well worth deal on Golfnow, would not pay their normal outrageous prices.

The green was very poor shape. And they over wster the tee box. Which it make dangerous for the golfer. I almost slip down. I was not pkease it.

Greens were in terrible condition. They were watering major portions of the fairways on multiple holes in the middle of a weekend day. I'd feel even worse if I was unfortunate to have paid the $50-70 some folks paid that day

For $85 I expect a course to be in much better condition. I have two infant children which limits my golf time. This is why I hate to feel like a wasted a rare free Saturday morning at Wildcat, but that's exactly how I felt. Greens were poor and way it's overpriced for what you get. Great view of the city is the best thing I can say about it.

Course in great condition pace of play is extremely fast and had alot of fun

Course was in great shape however the greens had been aerated a few weeks back and were real slow. breeze most of the morning which kept it bearable

this course always have good conditions. greens had been aerated and sanded and puts did not roll true.

Each time I come to Houston, I do my best to sneak in a round at this course. It has great elevation changes, challenging carries, and an overall great layout. Spectacular views of the city, and the Highlands is actually my favorite of the two courses. The staff, especially Lee in the pro shop, was wonderful. He was able to get me right out and accommodate some needs as well. The only reason this rating wasn't a 5 is due to the recent aeration of the greens. The tee boxes and greens were not in great shape which is very odd and has never been the case playing here before. I would recommend this course to golfers of any skill level looking for somewhere to play in Houston.

Wildcat Lakes is typically in fantastic condition, but they seem to be fighting an invasive species of grass/weeds in the greens. The greens are are in very rough shape, regardless of being recently punched. Hopefully they will get the problems solved soon. Only hot-rate deals make this course tolerable to play. I probably not play again until the course recovers.

Lakes is a very challenging course with a unique layout for the Houston area, namely lots of elevation changes. Unfortunately, the course conditions were far from the world class standard they like to claim. If it were just the recent aerification of the greens I wouldn't have any complaint. But there were far too many more serious flaws: burned out spots and clumps of crab grass growing sporadically throughout many of the greens, tee boxes with crab grass, if any grass at all, and spots on the fairways which were in desperate need of attention. I expect they will eventually recover, but I don't see it being worth its reputation in the next few months.

The Lakes course is a great course with a mixture of seemingly easy holes (beware) and challenging holes around the lakes. Not a course if the thought of water has you quivering on the tee box. This really is a course that will make you pay if you miss the fairways. Only downside to the round was the greens had recently been cored. Pity we wern't aware of this when booking.

Great deal using hot deal for a Fri. The course was recently aerated so greens not as good as normal. other than that the course was fine.

This is for the Lakes Course, not the Highlands. I haven't played that. I got what I was told was a great deal with a Hot Deal from Golf Now. I thought it was good value, but nothing extraordinary, and certainly wouldn't pay their "normal" price. It's a lovely course with elevation variations, lots of variety, great views. The course is in decent condition, except for the greens, the most important part of a golf course. Most had weeds growing in them, and Number 1 has a patch of some kind which is like putting through short rough. As a result putting is inconsistent, the one place you can make up for an odd errant shot. After all the hype, I was somewhat disappointed, but I had good company, the weather was great, and I certainly enjoyed myself. I guess because of their proximity to downtown they can command higher prices, but there are lots of courses around Houston as nice for less. I must say the staff were extremely friendly, which I don't always find when I have a Hot Deal price.The clubhouse and grounds are excellent, but it's a long walk from the parking lot to the course. All in all a good course.

In my opinion Wildcat has 2 well maintained courses. Our (twosome) round was in very humid/hot weather, with greens that looked like they were punched a few weeks ago. Fairways had great roll to them, aprons were damp up front, and rough was knee/waist high (2nd cut). Our round started about 8a and we breezed through the first 10 holes but caught the backend of several groups. The play slowed down and we observed a 5-some as the lead group that slowed the back nine down. Absence of course Marshall on back was obvious = pace of play. Play this course and marvel at NRG/Astrodome and downtown Houston. Enjoy!

Played here while visiting some family in Houston. Played early on a week day morning for a golf now rate of $45 per person. This was not a hot rate but still well lower than the regular rate. Well worth the money in my mind. Staff was friendly and got us on our way quickly. We played the highlands course and it was great. It's a very challenging course and not well suited for a beginner. Lots of forced carries, starting on the first hole. Not a great course to score on but very rewarding. Fairways were in good shape, lots of thick rough lining the course, waiting to eat up wayward shots. Greens were not super challenging, fairly easy and slow. They had been punched but were growing back in, still affected the putting however. Nice views of downtown and the stadiums, nice scenery. Would recommend to almost anyone to play, however think twice or play up a tee if your not used to long carries. Houston golf at its finest.

Always a great choice inside the city limits. Top notch practice facilities. Challenging course with several blind shots. Only negative about this round was the aerated greens. Otherwise the course was an excellent shape
