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.

Love this course

I love playing here but it's usually close to $100 for the round. For some reason, on that particular day the fees were just below $50/person. I'd play there a LOT more if that was a regular price.

Still has it

Been several years since I last played. The have since reversed the nines. Greens were recovering from maintenance punch. Pace of play on a weekend was fine value reasonable for proximity to downtown. Staff very friendly would come back again

Decent Course

The greens did just get punched before we played the round so that was a little unlucky. Also cannot see the greens from 90% of the tee boxes which is kind of odd. Overall, decent course but not my favorite.

One of the Best in Houston

Beautiful course! Great layout! Greens and fairways were in great condition. We played 18 holes in 3.5 hours with 4 people. It’s my favorite course that I’ve played so far in the Houston area

Great Course!

My first time to play Wildcat. It was awesome! Definitely a unique course in the Houston area. The greens were in great shape. The course has a lot of blind shots. It was challenging but really fun to play. Beautiful views. I will be back again.
