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

Greens great

Raquel was not very friendly asked her if we could go off early refused to call the pro shop to give us the price difference. Green were great but $170 is steep. No gps on carts as well. Grass is pretty dead as well. Only good thing is the greens. Needs time to get back to $170 price point.

Challenge accepted

Under estimated this course the first but thankfully I've learned my lesson as that time wasn't so good in the golf game. I had returned with vengeance and a mission and was able to capitalize on proper guidance and areas to hit or miss. This course isn't easy but a great challenging layout. This course will definitely let you know where you stand in your game from the 2nd hole on in. First hole is just a little taste and your first free warm up.

GCH

The championship course is very lengthy and challenging. Putting Greens are well kept. The pace is slow because there was a foursome in front of us. On hole 18 a couple cut in line out of nowhere. I was going to confront them but my partners said to let it go because there was only one hole left.

I highly recommend this course to everyone.
