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.

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!

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.

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.

Summer morning round

Played the lakes on a friday morning in late June. Course is in good shape not great. Lakes course is challenging layout, with good tee selection. Went off at 7:25 and finished in 3.5 hours.

Course is in excellent condition. Best greens I have played in Houston May and June.

I would recommend the lakes course. Lots of blind shots but very fair.
