Winter conditions but still very nice

Overall the course was in great shape when considering wet winter conditions. Greens were very soft but remarkably quick. Fairways were pretty soft also, so not a lot of roll out.. This course is one of my favorites in the Houston area.

I like the course, always have. This time I was informed at checkin that cart path rules were in effect even though it has not rained in almost a week. When on the course I saw no reason for the cart path only ruling. Also on checkin informed the guy in the pro shop my partner and I would need separate carts as he is in a high risk situation relative to Covid. I was told there would be a $50 surcharge for separate carts which I think is ridiculous. I was told it was because of high demand (on a Monday?) and they were trying to discourage one person per cart even if there were health risks. I assume the cart path only was also because of high demand. Trying to cut down on the wear and tear to the course. Again, after being on the course I saw no wear and tear that would warrant this ruling. I think both of these situations should have been made clear when I made my reservations.

December Golf

Excellent course. Wet from overnight rain. Greens were smooth and fast. Bunkers in great shape. The clubhouse staff and marshalls were courteous. The price is a little high but overall fair.

Soaking wet

Last rain was on Saturday. Played Monday. Cart path only and for good reason. Soaking wet. My only complaint is that none of the bunkers had been prepared. They were a wreck.

Great layout.

IM TALKING ABOUT MEMBER COURSE, NOT TOUR COURSE

This review is abt members only course. I noticed they combined the 2 reviews, but this is members. WOW!!! This is arguably the best in Houston. It is a real treat. It is so memorable. Played with my brother in-law, and decided to join. The pace simply can't be beat. Not a whole lot of members, and the members sometimes pick the tour course because we get that too(though I don't really understand why anyone would pick tour over member). Conditions are always great, couldn't ask for any better. The layout is special. It is absolutely top 3 in the area(I think tied for first with shadowhawk, have played almost all public and private.Value is great too. Initiation isn't terrible, great for money, and the dues are incredible for the money. It also includes passport privlages to Blackhawk and Blackhorse. Staff is super friendly. The starters, marshals, and closer are all some of the nicest people I know! The amenities might be the best part of the membership. 2 sides to the range. public side isn't great, but member side is awesome! The rest is members only. 3 hole short course, incredible short game area, amazing putting green. By far the best membership in Houston with the food being amazing, the passport, and the amenities. in total, you get 93 holes!

Great course. Slow play.

2 five-somes in front of us. Very slow on the front; marshalls got them moving a little better on the back.
