Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes
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.

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!!!

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.
Hi Brian6521956, we appreciate you rating us 4-stars! We look forward to having you back at Wildcat Golf Club again soon.
Great conditions
Even after the rain over the weekend, the course was in great shape. The greens roll quick and punished any poor chips or approaches, but they were in perfect condition.
I will definetly be back.
Thank you for taking the time to rate us 4-stars and share your great feedback on the course, Gscoligan. Wildcat Golf Club thanks you!
Only one
I’ve played both courses at wildcat many times. Pro shop is very nice and so is the clubhouse and restaurant. Course was very soggy from 4 days of saturated air. I asked before setting out if it was cart path only due to ground being so wet. The staff looked at me like “Do you really need to ask” then said it was. I tee off and front 7 holes no one behind me. On the 8th hole a group showed up behind me. Caught me by surprise. Did not think I was playing that slow. my third shot on the par 5 I understood why. Here they come driving all over the fairway. I sped up and put two holes between by the 11th tee. On the 14th tee here they come pushing me again. How could I put 2 holes between us and now their on my butt again. Ahhh 8,9,&10 all go into the club house. They had to cart path. Now we’re away from clubhouse with no marshals. Therefore they can get away with tearing up the fairways. Then I look behind and the 3 groups behind them doing the same. Ok I hit to give me range and took off to get space. Hit to cart path, green, give me 2-3’ range and go. Did this until I finished. So much for having an enjoyable time. Went in pro shop and asked the new person was I the only one that was told cart path only? He just laughed and said well you know people going to do what they want when no one Is watching them. Just as he said it here comes the group straight up the 18th fairway. I pointed at them and said I guess so. The guy in the pro shop just shook his head and said yep. Premium course is going to be nothing but premium ruts by the end of the day. I guess if the pro shop don’t care, why should the guy that fixed 2-3 divots and 4-5 ball marks on the green at every hole he played give a darn. Now I know why there’s so many of both. They can add cart tracks to the list. Wildcat is my favorite course to play. I drive across town (from the Woodlands) when an opportunity to play comes up. It very upsetting that I was the only one that appreciates the course on this day. Greens always roll pristine. The new carts are great. The maintenance staff and cart barn kids have always been professional. The valets have always been great. Keeping the entrance clean even on a messy day. I know two of the pros that work there and both are upstanding, respectful, & prideful of where they work. I’ve played golf with one of the restaurant’s grille supervisors who is very proud to work there. I’ve met and or played golf with allot of the Marshalls. Wish one was there today! One of which has been a mentor to me for the better part of 30 years. Sad that the people who get to play these great courses don’t give a darn about the job any of them do. Nor do they care about someone that relishes the chance to play either of these courses because of the facility and people. They just want to tear up the course, impose on the person in front of them, all so they can play a 3 hr round. I guess as the guy in the pro shop, whom by the way I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting, said. People will do whatever they want as long as no one is watching them. To him all I have to say is “Only people who lack integrity and respect for those whose living is earned managing that fine facility...
Those people are not me”.
Thank you for noticing. I know your staff works hard to create a great experience for all golfers. I wish I could be as diplomatic. I would suggest push carts or carry on the extremely wet days. Save on the additional maintenance caused by carts. Use the money to build the pro’s a training facility that is welcoming and upstanding as the courses it represents. That is how my brain works.
Not very diplomatic.

Great Course
This is an awesome course which will cause you to use every club in your bag. If you haven't played this course before, this is one course that should be added to your must play list. We had so much fun and the wind makes you think even harder on shot selections. The greens were fast and the par 5's are a blast to play and not to mention the holes starting at #7 when water comes into play on you tee and approach shots. It's a must paly and I will be playing Wildcat Lakes again soon.
Thank you for your 5-star rating and amazing feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed your recent round. Please book another one with us soon, and thanks for choosing Wildcat Golf Club! Be sure to come check out our new SmartPlay feature and order food & drinks anywhere on the course.
