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.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the course. Please come back soon for another 5-star experience at 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.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes. We hope to see you again in the future.
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.

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!

Rude Patron and Staff
A guy/patron from the group behind us drove up to us to told us to stay off the green with a rather rude manner. Apparently he thinks he saw us from 100+ yards and assumed we were driving on the green. After the game, I went to the patron to explain the situation and he wouldn't listen to our explanation that we did not drive and close to the green. We had to look for a ball and was driving around the green in the rough to match the pace of the game. When I tried to speak with him, he took us to the clubhouse and the clubhouse staffs wouldn't listen to us and assumed that we were too close to the green. We tried to explain we took pride in the cours and the game and were not even close to the green but in the roughs.
We did not appreciate and anticipate that the staffs without confirming and took a side without present any evidence.
Thank you for the feedback. One of our members informed us that your group was driving too close to the greens as well as driving across the bridge on #12 where a sign clearly states "No Carts Beyond This Point". The bridge is not made for carts to drive across, and we have that sign in place everyone's safety as well as keeping carts away from the green. We do ask that all golfers abide by the cart signs keeping carts away from the collars and greens. Thank you.
