Rating Snapshot
About
Architect Roy Case created both courses on this new 36-hole, daily-fee facility that is located only 10 minutes from downtown Houston. In addition to the views of the skyline, Case had at his disposal a touch of Hill Country terrain with dramatic elevation changes, as well as the typical Houston- area prairie lands. From this he was able to carve the links-style Highlands Course and the more traditional Lakes Course.
As its name implies, the Lakes Course, which tips out at a par 72 7,016 yards, is loaded with water. The best hole is the 539-yard No. 7, which is listed as the number one handicap. Interestingly, the four easiest holes are the par 3s, which range from 165 to 218 yards.

Great course in Houston
Challenging course with the most elevation change in the Houston area.
Yeah, but, Why?
Good condition, a great challenge. Just feels like there are a lot of split fairways and lots of risk with no reward. If you're a glutton for punishment and enjoy hitting very specific, precise shots. This is the place for you.
Great experience!
Needs at least two drink attendants per course! One isn’t quite enough! Awesome course though, very difficult. That’s a compliment not a complaint.
Great course, overall great but
Course conditions were very very good, some greens were okay, and the last hole with the greens being renovated was also a big letdown and not the way you want to end a great round at a nice course. That’s as harsh as I can be about it, I’d still recommend
Good experience but hard following thelayout
Pro shop was very courteous and welcoming, which is refreshing. The pace of play was fine but it was a little hard to find out if you were playing the correct hole if it is your first time. Multiple blind tee shots that force you to rely on cart GPSs to ensure the coast is clear.
Solid Houston course
There’s a lot to like about the layout of the course, with well-placed water and interesting turns. A few holes are somewhat gimmicky (blind shots, double fairways), but nothing too terrible. Course was in decent but not great shape for early March. For some reason, I wanted to like the course more than I did. Just feels a notch below top-tier Houston tracks.
Not fully impressed.
I was expecting much better greens. Understand the recent cold front might affected them. They have a temporary 18 green and we were not aware. Otherwise will wait a little longer to play the course. Over all we had a great time
Not worth the money
Way over priced for the condition of that course. Must be paying for the club house. The mast hole didn’t even have a green, just some short cut grass.
Too pricy for the condition
Had rental clubs. They charged 60 USD which I feel is a bid high.
General condition was only average.
Overall, I enjoyed it.
Great Layout
Course was in amazing condition and the layout was awesome and will challenge you no matter what handicap you are. Love it and will return.
What a good course
Brilliant lay out and it was challenging to play and manage
Vacation golf
We love golfing in Houston area. This course was fun and in great shape
Wildcat Lakes
Excellent course. Only downside was the temporary 18th green
Fivesomes made us have a 5 h round
A fivesome was playing in front of us they never bother the play others play theough, marshall never showed up
Whybare they allow to have zero respect for other players time?
This should not be tolerated or accepted by management
