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.

Course is great. Pick correct tees for your ability or it will be a long day. Greens are fast but big.

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.

Slow Pace of Play

Pace of play was ridiculously slow. We were lucky to get in 13 holes with a 1:30 tee time. Unacceptable in my opinion. Cart battery died for both of us. It also takes too long for anyone to pick up the phone.

Poor Value

For a course where a PGA tournament was previously played, I found the conditions very poor compared to many other courses in the Houston area. If the fee were 1/2 what I paid, I’d be less critical. The final straw for me was when my cart ran out of battery after only 14 holes played.

Pace was very slow and I discovered many of the issues were due to our play following a high school tournament. If the course is not capable of handling this scenario, they should not have tee times following the event.

Review title

Staff needs to remind players to fix their pitch marks. Very nice greens but people are doing their best to ruin them. Fairways and tee boxes are ok.

Cart S. Show

I wasn’t able to tee off until an hour after my teatime because they didn’t have any carts available. I checked in 15+ minutes ahead of time as well!

Great Course

The course was great, weather was windy, pace of play was slow. The minor negatives I can say is the marshal never came around and slow groups didn’t allow faster play to go through. It was my first time and hated to skip holes to allow our group to finish before sunset. I wish Golf Now HD ad not allowed us to book a 1:30pm tee time. Positives were I can’t wait to play again and hope I putt better.
