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.

Challenging Course
The course was very challenging. The Highlands course will make you play your irons and leave your woods in the bag . This was our first visit and on top of that is was very hot. Plenty of water available, but beverage cart was only seen a couple times over 18 holes. Pace of play was somewhat slow and no time could be spared at the turn to enjoy some food or drinks. Will try and go back when temps are cooler and maybe not as busy.
Toooo Quircky
Wildcat has two courses. The lakes course is a really nice course but the Highlands layout is just to weird. Greens where good. Biggest minus is $14 for a bucket of balloon the range that does not even offer grass. Robbery
Solid As Usual
Played Highlands on a Friday afternoon and teed off right on time, if not a few minutes early. Course was in good shape, as always. Greens were a little slower than normal but nothing that would make you complain. It was hot but they do a good job of having water coolers every couple of holes which is always nice. Finished in just under four hours. You could do way worse playing somewhere else.
Wildcat
Got special price of 48$ and well worth the price.
No issues with pace but not many on course, busier on weekends. Course is in great condition, geeens roll well. Only issues, no cart so have to make sure to stock up on water, and new carts restricted in some areas, have to pay attention.
Great course
Great course but slow play as expected for a Sunday. Highly recommend.
Technical hills course in Down town
Nice layout. Mobile check in. South side of town. Highlands has a lot of traps but not much water to deal with. In the hills. Par 5’s are technically lay up holes with dense vegetation between fairways.
Technically challenging for a high handicap
Arrival to the course you pass the lakes course. Lots of parking. Mobile check in. Very upscale to my normal courses. For my handicap it was very challenging on the highlands. Small greens. Blind tee shots. Long carry fairways. Couple par 5s that has to be played with irons due to tight corners. I really enjoyed playing this course. Greens where in great shape to be the end of summer.
Great course
Fun course with elevation in Houston which is tough to find . Greens , bunkers, fairways are in great shape for Houston summer
Great Potential
I’ve always enjoyed playing either course here. Layouts good and pace of play can be good if you start early. However, the last two times, pace of play has been slow probably because, and this is the real complaint, people have to spend so much time looking for balls. I’ve always know that there’s little rough and just off means ball is lost. Now however, you can/will lose balls in the fairway. The grass is kept tong to maintain greeness and the ball will sink down in the stuff and be lost forever. I lost 3 balls just off the green in fringe. No bueno.
Slow play
Super slow pace need Marshall on the course to speed up play
Challenging Course
Played Highlands. Very challenging. Frequent beverage cart access which was nice because day was hot. Good and quick taco at turn. If play guides per hole could be offered in in cart info t it would be nice. Used Roundabout app to get some insights.
Nice Course Fun Terrain
Played this course with my 13 year old son. Lots of rough areas so his accuracy paid off. We had a great time and the staff was very welcoming. Bring some game, and mosquito spray, and you will have a great time.
Excellent Layout
Course is well laid out with city skyline views. Difficult but well planned.
Good layout.
Greens were being aerrated hence inconsistent ball speed on green.
