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.

Lakes Course is beautiful and challenging

The Lakes Course at Wildcat is a beautiful course. It has a ton of great views at each individual hole, as well as some great Houston skyline shots toward the end of the back nine. It is, however, not for the faint of heart. It is a challenging course with some long holes, very strategic fairway bends and bunkers, and a LOT of water! The island or peninsula greens are tricky but so rewarding when you land it! The folks at Wildcat are friendly and helpful, and the amenities are great.

Very difficult course

This is the first course I have been to. This course is a bit difficult for women to play. Especially for beginners. Still, we finished 18 holes happily and well. This makes me want to try again.

Busy Day of Golf

This golf course will challenge your playing ability to the fullest extent, so it's best to be ready for it. I played bogey golf today because my driving was not so sharp. Towards the end of the round I discovered a lack of full concentration was the problem. As far as the golf course is concerned, it was a challenge seeing where the ideal hitting zone was, due to overgrown bamboo etc., plus, the Marshall was "push" "push" "push". There was a tournament getting started at around 12PM. I get it! Torpedo grass is becoming more of a problem here in spots too. The round ended pretty well with a par on 18 which made me happy.
