Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes

This course is close to my office and home. I love coming here to hit balls and work on my game. The wind can be challenging sometimes because some holes sit up on the hill out there. A lot of forced carries and water as well.

The conditions out there are great and #18 is probably my favorite hole out there.

The course was in fantastic shape, the weather was great and the pace of play was phenomenal. This really is a great place to play staying within the Sam Houston Loop. We played the Lakes which is easier than the Highlands but still offers a great challenge. Definitely will continue to play here and recommend to others.

Played for the first time the course; we were matched with a two-some lf young kids with mid-10's handicap, playing the course for the first time as well; it was a fun and challing outting for all of us; the Green Fee is not cheap, but after playing the course, I'd say is a fair price; Golf Course layout has an extraordinary variety, with its blind shots, dog legs, some Par-5's made of "small keys", long and short Par-4's, immaculate greens, will demand every shot and club in your bag; scenery around the course is not beautiful, but the course itself demands so much of your attention that it does not matter; if you are looking for a demanding, well-maintained golf course that will challenge you, instead of a scenic walk in a park.., this may be what you are looking for in the Houston-area.

First time playing this course. It was a nice course. Staff was friendly as well.

Played the Lakes Course for the first time. Overall perhaps the best public course in the Houston area. A nice layout in good condition for the time of year. Staff was nice. The main issue for the first time player are the numerous blind shots and you have no idea where to hit it or how far. Sometimes even finding the green from the fairway is an issue. We would return for the value and this issue would not be a problem. Do not know why the course does not help more with directions and tee shot carry requirements.

Booked through a Golfnow hot deal. Played in 40 degree weather, so course was wide open. For this time of year it was in good condition. Nice smooth greens. A few bare lies in the rough,but that is expected for winter golf. Played from tips and it was a good challenge. Course knowledge would be good, as some holes should be seen once, to see how it is best played. A few holes were difficult to decide on sight lines off the tee. This course was built on a landfill. My only caveat was that you would have thought that since the architect practically had a blank canvas, he would have thought of a routing that would have made walking the course easy. I would not recommend walking, as there are some long traverses from the green to the next tee. Visually a very nice course, with much diversity in the hole layouts. I would definitely play again.

One of the really tough, fun layouts in Houston. This course is a challenge no matter how many times you have played, or from what tees.

Greens were well manicured but very slow. Hard to get a ball all the way to hole from any distance. Fairways were in poor shape, especially those at the more elevated end of the course. Many teeboxes were closed for overseeding. In their defense, it is December and not many places are looking stellar. However, for tee time in this price range, and a course usually in really good shape, I was disappointed by the condition.

I like this course because it's always in a good condition.

Course in perfect condition. Played the Lakes course. Stay on the fairway as the grass lining the fairway is about three inches deep and thick and you will lose your ball in it. If you do find it it's never a good lie. Nevertheless a great course and a great experience

The course was in the condition you would expect from a course of it's kind. Only surprise was the amount of blind shots and lack of GPS and Marshall on a Saturday afternoon.

The greens have recovered from the aerification. The range hitting area isn't the best but the view is nice.

If you like blind shots from the tees and fairways this is your course. There are no other guides to indicate target areas and the score card map layout is no help. The greens were huge on some holes which makes it even harder when you can only see the top of the flag stick. The greens were also super slow.

Course and speed of play were fine. This time of year it is hit and miss with the conditions of the greens. Today was a miss. In about two weeks they should be back to normal.

Course was a little wet from recent rains so some holes require cart path at the halfway point.

value was good considering.

I planned this outing in order to enjoy a round of golf with family who live in Texas, I had never heard of this course I chose it based on its proximity to the Double Tree Hotel on Greenway Plaza. When we arrived at the course we were greeted by friendly parking staff and the pro shop staff were very helpful. The starter was so friendly he had us laughing, we started our round and the course did not disappoint, fairways were well manicured and the greens were smooth. It played somewhat difficult due to us being unfamiliar with the layout of the course. A beautiful course and a challenging course. Loved it (hated the humidity).

The course looks great. Fairways are well kept, trimmed nicely and easy to hit from. Divots are for the most part filled which is not the norm for a lot of courses around here. The greens are excellent. They are soft enough to receive a long iron and they roll true. Pretty quick but not US Open quick. Had a really good experience, pace of play was perfect. The Lakes is a tough course in spots but well worth the play.
