Rating 73.2

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.

Awesome Golf

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.

Wildcat GC

A top 5 public golf course in Houston. No course in the city, public or private, has the elevation changes of Wildcat. It can be a little tricky if you haven’t played before due to a couple of blind tee shots but great place to play.
