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.

Nice Course, Feels like it's missing something
I played Blackhorse North this past weekend 1/23, booking a last minute tee time as a single. I've played the South Course before, and was aware of the high bar that it set for the course. I will say this wholeheartedly, the green fee is not worth the golf course. $120 for a Saturday morning with spotty fairways, slow greens, and stacked tee times just isn't worth it in my opinion. Pace of play was surprisingly good, finishing in 4 hours 10 minutes in a foursome with 4 carts. I'll go to High Meadow Ranch or Cypresswood Traditions before going back to Blackhorse.

Awesome layout
Greens were hard and fast, really tough pin placements. Few areas under repair but overall great condition for winter golf.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes.
Good layout but needs a lot of work
They have lost the greens and grass is not great on the fairways. Not worth the money.
Thank you for the feedback. During this winter time the grass does look a little different compared to warmer temp periods, but rest assured we have not lost the greens. The greens are right where we want them during this time, and the course will start looking more like you are used to as we see warmer temps come. If you have any questions please reach out. Thanks.
Hi, thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes.

Slow Play
5:30 minutes from the first tee to the parking lot. The course was stacked with people who were reading putts like they were in the masters, and spraying the ball all over the place, with two practice swings a stroke. There was a Marshall out there, so I don’t understand why it wasn’t addressed. We waited 10 minutes on the tee, and 10 minutes on approach on the majority of holes. The course holds a lot of water, and was very muddy and moist. The greens were superb compared to other local courses. The layout involves a lot of blind shots.
Thank you for the feedback. We put a lot of emphasis on pace of pace, but we will take this to the team to make sure we improve on it. During the holidays, we do get a lot of casual golfers, but pace of play should never be 5:30. Hope to see you at the course again, and we will make sure our marshals get more involved next time. Thanks.

Great course. Challenging tee shots
Great course, very near Downtown. Very friendly staff. In Perfect condition even after a storm day . 8th hole killed me but but I loved the design . My favorite holes : 13th (because of views and also birdie it ) and 18th
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes.
A good test
Always a fun day here. Lakes a little easier and today conditions were perfect. When it blows it can be a real test

Hi Woosig0320, thank you so much for the 4-star review. We're glad you enjoyed the day with us and we thank you for choosing Wildcat Golf Club!
Playable after rsin
To bad rain just before tee time. Course played long but still very playable even after rain. Two very different course -try both!!!!
Hi Fishhead21, thank you so much for the 4-star review. We're glad you enjoyed the day with us despite the rain and we thank you for choosing Wildcat Golf Club.
A great afternoon
The weather helped but I do really enjoy this course. The course challenges you in different ways, you have to think about your choice of club instead of automatically reaching for the driver off every tee. The greens were in good shape (except a brown/bare patch on one of the back nine). The pace of play was great, we never quite caught up to the group in front and always had a hole between us and the group behind. If you play golf in Houston and haven’t played Wildcat Lakes yet then you should.
Thank you for visiting us at Wildcat Golf Club. We truly appreciate your 5-star review and hope you join us for another round soon!
