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.

Where are the marshals?

What might have been a five-star round of golf was marred by slow play. Our threesome waited on almost every shot and had to ask the twosome behind us to join us for the last four holes so they could finish before nightfall as the temperature fell to the 40's..

Nearly five hours and not a single marshal in sight or moving things along. Not acceptable for a course of Wildcat's caliber.

Nice place. Only issues were pace or play on the back nine and Range ball machine was out of balls for warm ups. Wish the green fees were more affordable I would play more often.

Rainy Day

Made it around 18 in 2 hours due to potential bad weather, played thru 3 groups. Course was wet but still in good condition. Several bunkers were under repair which is understandable.

Par5 no.9 needs a spotter at the top of the hill to help players find their drives.

Great time

Everything was great. Course was in fantastic condition played a very enjoyable pace. Great practice area. Staff and Marshalls were excellent. Only thing preventing 5all around was course layout. There are a couple of holes that

T are blind tee shots where if you don’t know layout can be very confusing. Also some holes where you can hit on to greens or tee boxes on other holes if you a tee a little wayward and you don’t even know it. Makes it hard to warn othe

Overrated for what we paid! GPS didn’t read well with fairways being so close to each other. Some holes we were actually shooting at the wrong flag because of this. Many holes we found others shooting way too close to us as well. No bathrooms anywhere on the course and no mention of that anywhere!
