PGA quality without the price

Absolutely beautiful course and clubhouse with very friendly and helpful staff from the pro shop to the marshals. Playing as a single I'm used to being ignored or worse hassled on a course, however everyone including the groups in front of me were very friendly and helpful, freely giving advice and letting me play through without any problems. If you want to play a quality course below the standard $300 green fee definitely look up Golf Club of Houston

What happened?

1st time playing, excited as always watched the Shell Houston Open. Nice facilities but since the tournament left it’s like they gave up in the course. Bunkers were awful, some were falling apart, had mud in them, haven’t been raked in days/weeks. Outside of the greens and fairways mowing seems optional. Some greens had bald spots and bumpy. No ball washers or garbage cans on entire course, no water unless you get it from clubhouse. For the price you can go play courses in better condition for half the price. Won’t be back anytime soon. Very disappointed.

The course was in great shape. However, the cart we got was not charged properly and was not functional after 15 holes. We pushed it back to the clubhouse but on a 97 F day , it really was a downer!

Course is in great shape. Punched greens about a month ago

Greens are almost fully recovered from aeration. They’re short on staff but still managing to do a great job. Great course to play a twilight round for $60; however, depending on pace of play u might not finish. We only played 9 cause it was too slow. Still worth it.

Beautiful Course

Really enjoyed this course. Only complaints were that there was no beverage cart and the fairways were so soggy tee shots kept plugging. I feel like at $100+ per round, a beverage cart is a must. Other than that, I look forward to my next round here!

Miserable

4-some ahead of us was horrible - slow play & a hole behind all day. Not a single Marshall to move play along. - need to institute handicap & tee requirements to manage play. Long time before I return.

Monday morning round

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.

Disappointed

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.

Great Course, but understaffed

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

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.

Punched greens

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.
