Golf Club of Houston - Tournament Course

Course was in OK shape. Nothing to write home about. Person at pro shop looked utterly in shock when I walked in to pay for our tee time. Not sure why he was caught so off guard.

Team at the range were awesome. Very happy and friendly. Marshal was also very nice but unfortunatley delays were caught a bit late and despite attempts to get us moving quicker, it didn't really feel like we were seeing results.

Course was just OK. I was expecting a lot better tee boxes and fairway conditions considering the price to play.

No cart girl on course and limited food selection and snack shack on 10 so that was disappointing. Not very inviting club house and saw nobody sitting having breakfast/lunch or drinks before, during or after. Atmosphere could be better.

Course was in good shape, pace of play a little slow. We were a 2 some,, so we played our ball and also a scramble ball just to slowdown for not to wait too much. Total time was around 4 hours and 20 minutes. But definitely would play again. My son played the tips and shot 77. I played the whites shot 78.

The day starts with a first class practice facility, range, putting green and chipping green/bunker. I believe the fairways and greens are bent grass and course is in excellent shape. Home of the Shell Houston open until 2018 you can see how it would hold up to a pro event. Heavily bunkered in fairways and greenside. Water comes into play and shots missing the fairway may catch the sloping rough and end up in the water. Playing the right set of tees is critical to a fun day. A 210 yard driver. I played the white tees and it was a great experience. Highly recommended!

Pros: The course was great as always, quick pace of play, good, friendly starter..

Cons: Be prepared to now PAY for your range balls. I asked the Pro Shop manager POINT BLANK whether greens were good and whether they were punched. I was told they were in fine shape. Arrived on #10 -18 and all punched and sanded.

I’ll play again but will try find an honest employee assessment.

One of my favorite courses to play. Greens roll true. Sand is fantastic. Fairways were in great shape considering the recent cold weather.

Awesome course just wish the pace of play was a bit better

Despite that some holes were cart path only, the course is in great shape

We arrived about an hour and a half before our tee time, so we decided to have lunch first. Best cheeseburger and onion rings I’ve had in a long time! Golf was fine - a little slow pace with 5! people playing in front of us. It’s a long, challenging course that I would easily play again.
