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.

Excellent
I invited some out of town guest to join me and they are still talking about the experience 3 days later.
The course is in excellent shape, the staff is the best in Houston and the owners are the best. Always enjoy Wildcat

Worst Booking Policies Ever
Love the course but all tee times are prepay. Unfortunately, we had a player who could not make it. Too bad, you prepaid and are now paying for them. Great course but they charge you top rates to play and have restrictive tee time policies.

Must-play Course
Unique and interesting course. Good elevation, undulating greens, lot of water and hazards make it a must-play course in Houston.
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Enjoyed my new friends
Staff wasn’t sensitive to first time at the course golfers. I asked about practice balls and bought a code for a medium bucket. Got up to range and machine wasn’t working because out of balls. The next 12 golfers tried the same thing. Someone finally came and said it was out of balls and would be awhile before it was refilled. No info offered by pro shop about putting green, cart path rules in place, food, drink, ice, restrooms, etc.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes!

Best staff, grass, and class around
I’m new to the Houston area so I’ve only hit a few links around town but I can assure you wild cat is a excellent course. My group and I caught the late tee time to try and avoid as much heat as we could, ended up being out there till the horn went off. Great course, for a town that had a unreal ice storm damage wildcat seemed to stay on top of it. Played the lakes, and it might be my favorite course at wildcat. Staff is always so darn nice, overall great place to catch 18 with your buddies.

Slow greens, hot and muggy
The course is recovering from aerating the greens, and the greens in general were very slow, maybe 6 on a stimpmeter. And generally the course is very open, so other than water there really are no hazards to deal with. However, every course I have played this year has the same green conditions so there isn't much that can be done about that.

Arizona? Wildcats!
Son and I have enjoyed the challenge of this course a couple of times. We’ll be coming back and eventually beat this beast.

Decent Shape
Course was tougher than I remember. Not bad though. Cart service was great but didn’t have a lot of items. Food was solid in the clubhouse but the server definitely didn’t want to be at work that day. Miserable
