Punched Greens but Full Price

Greens were punched last Wednesday. No mention of that from anyone until you get to the first hole. I don’t mind paying up for this course but not if the greens aren’t rolling perfect.

Not worth the price.

No towels, no sand in sand bottles, pace of play slow.

All for $170 per person.

Need Marshall

Fairways was not as nice as I’ve seen before especially for this time of year. Greens were good. Need marshals because took 5.5 to play and waited on every hole.

Shotgun Tournament

Course is really good looking. The greens are excellent. The layout is a kick in the teeth.

We quit after nine because they put a shotgun start tournament out on the course when we were around hole 6. Pace of play slowed to slower than a crawl. We asked for a refund and they gave us a rain check for nine holes. Said we should have called out to see if a tournament would be there. For $190 we shouldn't have to do that.

Course was pure!

First time playing here. Place is huge due to the 2 courses on the property. Practice range is legit. Had a 7:30 tee time and had no issues with pace of play. Course was pure from fairways to green. 2 different cart girls driving around all round. Staff was great!

The best Houston has to offer

A real joy of a golf experience. Layout is high-class, with not a single weak hole. Lots of bunkers and water makes it a real challenge. Greens are solid and exceedingly fair (though Memorial Park is better). Course was in very good shape for late February. Thought it was a great value at a $100 hot deal, a bit pricey at $140. Pace of play was good. Clearly the best course in Houston I’ve played.

Needed More

Playtime was horrible...where was the Marshall??? Wanted to charge extra for a single ride cart...that you dont have enough carts is a course problem.

Staff was mostly pleasant.

I'd play again--but....

I'd certainly play it again but it was extremely slow on front. Fortunately on back, part of group in front of us had to leave so it made up time on back.

Never saw a ranger on front which is where it was needed..As a former golf ranger, you gotta catch those slow guys early in round and actually talk to them..

Challenging

Challenging for a 13 handicapper playing from the Blues. But, enjoyed the loop. Could use some Marshalls to keep the pace under 4 hours. 4:30 is just not necessary with a little encouragement to repeatedly slow play.

The course was amazing and has spoiled me for future play at other courses. The only 2 downfalls were we got held up by a tournament that ran over and I was disappointed in the sand bunker conditions being too hard packed

5 hour 15 minute round, no marshalls

5 hour 15 minute round, no marshalls. The club pros simply do not care how slow the pace of play is.
