Challenging Course

Staff brought cart to parking lot and loaded bags for us, check in was easy and range was perfect shape. The many sand bunkers strategically placed kept us on our toes. Pace of play was great (18holes-3hr 10min.). The greens were in really good shape.

Great track

The course has a excellent layout and fairly wide-open. greens were in fantastic condition for this time of year we played after a pretty good rain so it was soft. Course plays a whole lot better firm and fast I imagine. Practice facilities were shut down for over seeding so that was a bummer

Great Course...staff so-so

Great course, great conditions. Staff wasn't very friendly, in a not really attentive way. Just didn't get a good vibe. Advice you have a great product get staff that is equal to the product

Hot weather

Refused rain check

It was 93 or 94 degrees out and very humid. Despite drinking plenty of water and Gatorade, I was feeling under the weather by the turn and h. ad to sit in the restaurant to cool down. I didn't feel good and asked if my partner and I could get a rain check for the back 9 as I wasnt going to be able to go back out and finish the round.

When I asked if the club could offer us rain checks because I was unwell, the assistant said blankly 'No'. I asked if he needed to ask the Pro if we could be accommodated, he just said 'No'. He sai "No one else had asked for a rain check' and left the desk area. No manners, no civility - it felt like we'd asked him to cut his hand off.

Not a good advert for the club and thoroughly disappointing.

Terrible pace of play

Course was in good condition though fairways were too wet and couldn’t get any roll. Greens were in great shape.

Pace of play was terrible even when a caddie was mandatory. The guys ahead of us took all the time in the world on the greens.

Our caddie, Dwight, did and amazing job and was great reading greens. That’s the reason for the 5 star staff friendliness.

Great course but cart path only before the PGA tournament

I knew that they kept the carts on the path before the tournament but I didn't realize the tournament had been moved to October. So for around we had to stay cart path only. Are other issues were mainly because the day we shoot up the grill was not open and also they close the turn building at about 2:30 so since we were playing in the afternoon we were not able to eat before around or get anything when we made the turn.

The course itself was awesome.

Good course

Course is preparing for the Houston Open. 100 degree temperatures but played in less than 3 hours. Bottles of water in the cart. Range balls are excellent quality. White tees it’s a birdie feast. Blue tees require long irons into greens. Championship tees it’s another world
