Course Highlights
The Highlands course delivers a links-style experience with dramatic elevation changes, blind shots, and carpet-smooth greens that consistently impress recent golfers. Friendly staff and a smooth pace of play make this one of Houston's most rewarding and unique layouts.

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.

Bring your own clubs

If you rent clubs, you’ll be paying for the owner’s kids to graduate with a doctorate. Also, as I live in Florida, I have access to over 1200 courses. In Florida, the same course would be no more than an average course as far as the quality of the course, but it would cost no more than $45. I paid $83 here. I doubt seriously that if I ever return to Houston, I will ever play it again unless the cost changes for the better.

Pristine

Tee boxes, Fairways, greens were absolutely in tiptop shape. I’m sure that the recent rain has something to do with it. Nevertheless, it was the best I have seen the course and sometime.

This course is a lot of ROD Ryan Fun 🤘🏼🎶⛳️

Had an awesome time at Wild Cat Golf Course came to support the Rod Ryan Charity Golf Charity Open !

It was so much fun! Course was prep, golf’ carts were washed and ready for a great day of golfing for great causes such as Texas Adaptive Aquatics Sports, outdoor adaptive recreation and watersports for the disable veterans, adults and children. Wild Cats were very welcoming, accommodating, friendly and with great service .

Looking forward to returning again soon! ⛳️

Great course

One of the more challenging courses in Houston. A few blind shots, couple par 5s that you can’t use driver on. Lots of elevation changes, which isn’t very common for Houston. Overall great course.

Great course. Always enjoy the playing.

We had a great tournament on 3/24. Nick is such a great guy and help us settled down everything professionally. Staffs are friendly. It was very windy but we still really enjoyed to play there. We'd certainly love to have more events at both the courses again.

Good course to take visitors

After playing memorial park not much compares. But Wildcat is close enough to the city to bring out friends and less seasoned golfers. The course plays a bit short from the blues, would recommend playing the golf tees behind the blues for a better challenge.

Overpriced for poor service

Slow play, course conditions are sub par, off course service is non existent. Stick the the Lakes course if you’re going to play Wildcat as this course is not worth the money
