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.

Unique Houston Experience

The elevation change on this course is very unique. I give Wildcat good to excellent marks in every area EXCEPT, there are several blind shots where you must know the course. The signage is poor so first-time players will struggle to know where to hit. The more you play these two courses, the more you'll enjoy them. I wish their carts had gps with yardage markers. Having said that, it's still a must play public course in Houston. Both courses are equally good in my opinion

Good course

It is a good course, but a little expensive for the price. It seems like it is a course you have to play at least twice to know play the ball since there are some blind shots.
