Wildcat Golf Club - The Lakes

Nice, challenging golf course here. Too much torpedo grass however. I guess the cost to owners from the pandemic situation prohibited the use but need for chemicals to destroy the fast growing stuff. The greens were slower than expected. More bermudagrass and less torpedo would be normal.

Picked the hottest , muggiest day of the week, but had a great time. A bit disappointed that there was no notice that the driving range was closed, but the starter was able to get us on earlier, thanks to a no-show foursome. Beverage cart came by four times, which kept us hydrated and the Marshal checked on us twice (both folks were very friendly). It had been a couple of years since we played here last, so appreciate the new cart setup and the course was in excellent shape (sand in some of the traps was a bit tamped down, likely due to all the rain). We will be back soon

Not the first time I’ve played the course but sadly the last. Such a pretty course with a fun and challenging layout. Course conditions were fairly nice today. Pace of play and the Marshalls/starters/pro shop’s ambition to fix or alleviate the problem were nonexistent. Listened to the Marshall get yelled at by a scramble group for 5 minutes while waiting 3 groups back on a tee box. Front 9 took 2 hours 45 minutes, took approx. 45 minutes to play 10&11 before deciding to leave. Group in front of us drove a cart onto the fringe of our green to try and pick up a fairway shot we hit up and off the back. Maybe because the cart girl sold the group 24 beers on hole 5 that were finished by hole 10 and their awareness depleted, I’m not sure. If you can get out here when the course is very open it’s well worth it, if it seems like it’s busy at all, buckle up for your 5.5 hour + long round.

It was a wet, sloppy, muddy round post-Beryl so it's hard for me to give the course a fair rating. It was my first time playing it in nearly a decade so I've been overdue. Course is always challenging and I like the fact that it has elevation changes unlike practically every other Houston area course. Some of the blind shots can be a bit frustrating, though. I'm looking forward to getting back out there again on a drier day.

The staff and facilities are excellent and take good care of you. The course (Lakes) is in excellent condition especially considering we were hit by hurricane Beryl 3 days ago. The greens rolled a little slow but true, the fairways were mowed and clear of debris with good grass. The rough was a little shaggy but that’s what rough is supposed to be. Most of the bunkers had been reconditioned after the storm and the remaining ones were being worked on. There was a very slow foursome in front of us who ignored the marshalls. Once we skipped a hole to,get around them we played in less than 4 hours. My main complaint is that the course presents you with many blind shots. So if you don’t know the course well it is easy to get out of position and leave yourself with difficult recovery shots leading to big scores. Also many holes require a long carry over trouble off the tees. As players in our 70s we should have moved up from the White tees to shorter tees but we were not advised well by the starter about what to expect. One more note, there are few trees and little shade on this course so be prepared for intense sun and heat in summer. Finally, great views of NRG Stadium and downtown Houston, and nice breezes, on the high points of the course.

Beginner golfer and this plenty of challenges and made me realize I need to work on my game. Great layout with plenty of hills and water hazards.

I took my son to play here for his birthday. It was an extremely great time, Great course, great staff, and the course was in immaculate condition. This now has become mine and my son’s favorite course in the Houston Texas area. We look very forward to playing this course regularly. Make sure you bring a lot of balls unless you know how to strike the ball well. Thanks for making my son’s birthday and I around Golf wanted to remember.
