Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes
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.

Great Outing
Course in great conditions. Greens and fairways excellent. Hazard/Water a little higher than normal due to previous rain so made the course even more challenging.
Hi eric8188202, thank you so much for the great review and 5-stars. We're glad you enjoyed your time with us and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club.
Has promise,too many hacks
Not the worst, but nowhere near the best. For the pace of play and poor bunkers, this should probably be a $35-$45/ round course. Don't pay anything more. Much better options.

Course is in great shape pace of play was good I’m just not a big fan of hitting blind shots especially on the Lakes ourse
Thank you for visiting us at Wildcat Golf Club! We appreciate your 4-star feedback and hope you join us for another round soon.
4 stars
Course was in excellent shape considering everything going on with the pandemic. Pace of play was steady. Greens are in fantastic shape. Challenging but fun course overall. I’ll definitely come back!

Same old...
Wildcat is a great option for the public and unique in how different it is by comparison to other Houston courses. But unfortunately charging $100 per round is outrageous. I would expect a championship level course and facilities for that money. It's nice... but it's not $100 nice.
Hi philiplarkin2, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. However, we're sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. Your feedback is very important to us as we strive to create a valuable golf experience for all of our customers, and we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
great course
windy and cloudy day but very enjoyable. Greens were punched about on month ago and had signs of this and a little sandy top dressing but rolled well. Bunkers are considered ground under repair because of COVID19. Staff very friendly. Golf carts in excellent shape EZGO with USB ports!!!
Thank you for your 5-star rating and great feedback, Chris7895935! We're glad you enjoyed your last round despite the weather, and we appreciate your patience & understanding with our current operations during this time. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club!
Great Day at Wildcat
Upon arrival a masked gentleman in a multi-passenger cart asked if I wanted a ride to the club house and though I passes the service was noticed and appreciated. Social distancing signs were well displayed both outside and inside the pro shop. Had booked the Lakes course but asked the guy behind the desk if I could play the Highlands which he readily agreed to. Buy the time I reached the 1st tee the starter knew I was coming and greeted me by name and told me to have a great time. Course is always in great shape. The only issue was that since this Corona problem we are all facing began, all the courses I have played had some way of not letting the ball drop to the bottom of the cup. This was the case only on the 17th and 18th hole. Since I had only a few one putts, gave myself a lot of Gimme"s.
Thank you for your 5-star rating and great feedback, swstringham! We're glad you enjoyed your last round, and we appreciate your patience & understanding with our current operations during this time. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing wildcat Golf Club!

Fun social distancing day
Course is in very good condition. Everything is sanitized prior to customer (me) loading equipment. Also additional disinfectant is made available for the customers (responsible individuals) to spray and wipe down prior to utilizing. Everyone at the starting hole was more then 6’ apart when receiving their starting instructions. Had a wonderful time even though we could not perform the normal social interactions with playing partners ie pick up their club, get their ball out of cup, shake hands...
We truly appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us 5-stars. Thank you for your patience & understanding during this time as our staff is committed to the safety of our golfers, but we're glad to hear you still enjoyed the day with us. Thank you for playing Wildcat Golf Club and come back soon!
Thank you for your 4-star rating, Tommy7999582! Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club.
Very Average
It's okay. Not great and maybe not even good. Fairways and greens are fairly good but rough and areas around are a little bit out of shape. Not worth anything over $40 in my opinion. Staff was very friendly and helpful, pace of play was very slow today.

Nice course
I got to play this course with my son. Enjoyed the day and great view of Houston city skyline on #18 hole. Challenging course and lost a few balls in the water but all in all great day.
Thank you for your 5-star rating, u6467795! We're so glad you enjoyed your last round. Please book another one with us soon, and thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club.
Great Course
Amazing round of golf. Can’t really support the $21/pitcher of beer however
Crewoldt97, thank you for your kind words & feedback! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great golf experience. Thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club.
Fun day
Course is in great winter condition. Greens a little slower then normal but still fast. If you’re able to get a hot deal from golf now great value.
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!
Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes, 7.1/10
Course is always in fairly good shape. Green speeds vary by day, time of day, etc.
Wish the green speeds were more consistent from round to round. Can be quite challenging if wind is blowing, and pins are in difficult places.
Fun course to play, always plays differently based on the elements.
Tough Tee Shots on 70% of the holes.
KEYS TO SUCCESS: Accurate off Tee, Lag Putting
THINGS YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH: In-Accurate approach shots, as most danger is off tee-shot.
Overall -- good bang for your buck. Probably 1 of top 3 public courses in Houston.
rileygre, thank you for your kind words and valuable feedback! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great golf experience. Thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club.
Greens are rolling great
Easy check in with friendly employees. The restaurant had breakfast tacos, which hit the spot before playing. The greens were rolling great, probably the best I've seen them here at Wildcat. Definitely recommend.
Thank you for the 4-star review, recommendation, and great feedback! Join us for another round soon, and thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club.
