Golf Club of Houston - Tournament Course

Beautiful course. Well kept. Big golf course. Huge greens, get it close or accept the three putt.

Worth every penny. Played twilight 2 ax’s this month. Course in great shape. They air rated 2 weeks ago and greens are just filling in. Very true and tough. Fairways generous, rough not easy, it’s a good test.

Course was practically ours for a majority of the morning. Course in great shape. A few greens still recovering from the freeze but rolled well and they put cups in places where you didn’t have to roll it thru them.

We had a 1pm tee time and arrived at :1215 to get checked in and warm up in the range. They informed us that there were no carts . Come to fiind out they had a morning tourney and must have overbooked the course based on number of carts . This is poor planning and based on the club and the rates they charge this should NOT happen. Very disappointed...by the way we finally got out cart to play at 1:25. With a 1pm tee time . SMH.

Incredible golf course and one of the best values you will find. We can’t wait to get out there once the green aeration is complete. Only complaint is that they seemed a bit understaffed for a Saturday. Our cart died on the 14th and it wasn’t the only one as we passed several abandoned carts on the final 5 holes.

All that in mind, we can’t wait to get back out… with a fully charged cart of course.

Greens were recently air-rated, so the roll is very bouncy and inconsistent. Seems that no one cares to repair their pitch marks, so greens are also littered. All in all I was a bit disappointed in the course condition. When it’s in good shape, this is easily one of the best public courses in Houston; just not this week. Still had a great time with friends out there, and the staff were friendly as per usual. There were some great twilight views as well. I’ll always return to this course, but will give it a few weeks to recover.

I love this course because the greens are incredible. Well not today they were punched and sanded which was not noted on Golf Now north by anyone in the pro shop. What a disappointment.

Most everyone knows that this course plays host to a PGA tournament and is highly regarded by the professionals. Playing this course at the end of July after a period of a good bit of rain the last several months has done a number on Houston area wide golf courses. Also our cold weather in February damaged a lot of greens to many Houston area golf courses. The greens at the time of my round had been aerated and sanded; mostly the Greens were in average shape having been treated in this manner. The fairways were in good condition and grass was cut close and tight. Sand bunkers are numerous and tough. Sand quality was fine. At a price rate of $75 on a Thursday which included a six dollar fee for range balls which were not readily available at the time prior to my round, this is frustrating. . Golf carts were also scarce at the time of my round. To the courses credit there was apparently a rather large tournament going on at the time. Of course this is a great golf layout and it is very challenging and unforgiving if you cannot hit Fairway Off the Teebox. The cart rules were 90° with several holes being cartpath only.

Played there for the first time on 7/25. The gentleman at the checkout counter was friendly and made us feel welcome. Course was in great shape. Challenging without being too difficult. Look forward to playing again.

The overall conditions appear to be slipping a bit. Also, with all the rain the course is still very wet which would appear that the course doesn’t drain well. I still believe the staff mows the Bermuda too tight in the fairways which makes the ball “sit” a bit too much for my preference.

The range markers had not been moved since the prior day so the hitting areas were ratty. Side note, the club should promote straight line divot patters vs the random divots you find at most muni ranges. That’s what it looked like yesterday.

I walked off after 12 holes because the group I got paired with was on track for a 5+ hr round and I didn’t have the time to stay out there. Six holes left and we had already been out there 3.5 hrs.

The toughest part of running a golf course is keeping it in great shape. This course has done that. It’s a shame that the overall experience was lessened by simple things like obvious tee markers. There was no ryme or reason on why some holes has tee markers and some didn’t. And the ones that did are so small and close in color, you had to get out of the cart only to find that you were at the wrong tee. Also, it was cart path only for no reason, the course was bone dry.

Other than that, great course layout, great shape, penalizing rough (so hit it straight) good value.

Played as a single. Cart was not charged. I called at hole 11. No one came out. I limped back to the clubhouse. Wouldn’t refund my round. The management of this club is horrible. Too pricey for what you get and it’s way overrated.

The course was well kept even with the rain we’ve been getting. Course was challenging but fair. Greens were fast but most are big and playable from the fairway
