Excellent course

Hole after hole of tremendous design, plus excellently maintained!
Plenty of space to play at your fullest and be challenged at the same time.

A great course for the money

I love it! The best course I played in Houston. Best view and great condition. Only thing is it costed over 100 dollars and a bit pricey. But I would still play there again next time.

Great condition

I thoroughly enjoyed my round of golf. The condition of the course was excellent (although a bit overwatered).

The only problem I had was that many of the holes were “forgettable”. As I reviewed/replayed the round in my memory, I found I had trouble remembering many of the holes.

Worth experiencing

First time playing and overall the course was great. Nice practice facilities, well maintained, interesting layout with no houses on the Tournament course and holes not crowded next to each other.
Carts had GPS but with annoying geo fencing feature. Give you two water bottles but no water on the course so still need to bring your own in hot Texas summer.
Only complaint is the expense. You should definitely play once and then you can decide if it worth the extra money versus other high level courses in the area.

Tournament Course was beautiful and long. And hard! But loved it. Pace of play excellent. Refreshment cart
on course came by often. Water and ice provided in the cart. Pro shop staff, starter and Marshall’s were very nice. Driving range was included. Look forward to playing again.

Great course no Cart Girl

Played the Tournament course, it is in great shape tee to green, not too crowded, so pace of play was good, only complain woud be that there is no drinking water on the course, wish they would have told me when I checked in that there was no cart girl on the course, when the marshall told me this on hole #10 he was kind enough to go buy me a few beers and bring them to me, that was great.

Play on a Pro's Course!

I now understand why the PGA tour guys have an easy time putting with greens that roll true and fast. Greens are in great condition! A little maintenance here and there but expected this time of year. I rather them spend the money on keeping the course in good condition instead of cart girls and marshall's. If you are a low handicap player you will enjoy it, but if you go to hack it around and drink beer there are better courses for that. Overall great experience and the golf shirts were 60% off if you buy 3 or more, bonus!

The best conditioned course available for public play in area.

I've played this course about 8-12 times a year and this was the 1st bad experience I've encountered. The course was perfect, as can be expected, the round, unfortunately, was not. Booked a tee time and showed up early because frequently I can go off early. Today, was told that myself and 2 others would be teeing off on 10 behind a tournament that was still.playing... no big deal. Great guys that I played with, however, when we went to the tee box there were teams still waiting and behind us making the turn. The group in front of us had started on hole 6 and we waited for 2 groups at each teebox the entire day until our last 4 holes. Is Golf Club of Houston hurting for money and need to squeeze teetimes in during a tournament? Unacceptable guys...wouldn't have driven up from League City had I known...
