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.

Excellent course
Outstanding course. Green are fast and true. Best putting greens in Houston. I love this place
Wonderful experience
Good time had by everybody.
Took out of town Yankee guest for an outing before wedding And both of my sons
First time at the course for all of us.
Clubhouse staff was very very courteous friendly and went out of their way to help guide in maneuvering around the property
Starter was a real hoot and made us feel welcome and at ease going to the first tee
Course was in immaculate shape. Layout was super super awesome with each hole Simmang completely different than the one before.
Grange or crew and quick and any missed put it with your own fault. Skyline view of Euston and energy was spectacular and very impressive Pace of play was superb and the cart girls were generous and fun and made of a heck of a bloody Mary
Will return, will return
Thanks for the great review, we're glad to hear you and your family had an incredible time at Wildcat! Be sure to book another round with us soon.
Challenging course
This was my first time playing out at wildcat Lakes. It has a lot of blind shots and water on the course. The course is very manageable and the greens are in good shape. They are running relatively fast so if that’s what you’re used to you’ll do fine on the greens. Several visually intimidating holes on the course but they are very playable. I’ll be back!
We're glad to hear you enjoyed your round, Fritzi! We appreciate the 5-star review. Be sure to book another round at Wildcat soon.
Hello, thank you for the outstanding 5-star review! #WildcatGC
Great Course
Course is in great shape! Greens were fast and rolling smooth. A lot of beautiful lakes and really awesome views of the city. I will be back again and would recommend to anyone!
Hello, thank you for the outstanding 5-star review! #WildcatGC
Nice Track with Great Views
Interesting course layout. Lots of water on the Lake course. Good greens. Good condition. I played a wet course,, cart path only.
Fun play our
Course has lots of challenges. Played with a stiff wind to make it more difficult. Over all, well worth it.
Tee boxes and a couple of the fairway traps need attention. Having pea gravel in a trap is not a good idea. Only on two holes, but not ideal. Tee boxes need some love.....but all in all, great adventure.
Conditions
Course is in very good shape. Tee boxes could use some more attention, but overall, all was worth it. Only complaint, was the par4 on the front 9 (lakes course), number 5. Get rid of the pea gravel in the fairway trap. Other than that...all good.
Hello, thank you for the excellent 4-star review! #WildcatGC
Hello, thank you for the excellent 5-star review! We hope to see you at #WildcatGolfClub again soon!
Great Track
I would recommend the Lakes course over the Highland. Great course for the money!
Great Golf Course
Greens and fairways always in great shape. Will play again.
Rained Out
Only played 8 holes due to storm/heavy rain. Course said I needed to get with Golf Now for rain check but there’s nowhere I can find on the site to try and get a rain check. That is why I rated value for money low. For 18 it would have been high but for 8 holes it was very expensive.
