Course is Awesome

Even though it was cart-path-only due to the weather conditions, it should not have taken an entire hour to play only four holes. While the cart indicated we were only seven minutes behind pace, the slow pace significantly disrupted our rhythm and enjoyment of the round.

The course was prime. Tournament quality and greens were pure. Level of quality and amenities are worth the green fees.

Don’t waste your time/money

Booked a Tee time at 2:30 pulled up at 1:15 and they had a tournament of 72 players playing at 1:30! Pace of play was horrendous, staff was awful. Their “pro player/manager” doesn’t know what she’s doing either. First time going there and will never go back. Don’t waste your money, moody gardens is nicer that this course.

Course is always nice, at a minimum.

Course was in very good shape, just a bit wet and cart path only due to recent rain.

Nice bar and restaurant and desk staff were very nice.

COURSE MARSHALLS

The course needs Marshall’s to ensure pace of play and care of the course. Apparently raking traps and fixing divots is old school. So is pace of play; it should not take 5.5 hours.

Playing GCH used to be a treat. Free range bakks, collard shirts, pace of play. Now it’s just like any other course.

Very nice place

Home of the Houston Cougars men's and women's golf teams. The practice facilities were quite nice, the Tournament Course was fun and the staff was very helpful. The greens are well protected by nice, white sand. I found the bunkers well maintained and very playable - I had to hit out of a lit if them... I definitely recommend the Golf Club of Houston
