Tournament Course

The fairway and greens were horrible, no cart girl, no where to clean your ball...pace of play horrible, no marshal,and the staff had this attitude of I don't care....and if you book a tee time at this golf course, they should advise you in advance of the conditions of the course.....scale 1 to 10 I will give it a 3, thAts how bad it was....

Course was a mess

Got a good deal on Golfnow.com so I went out and played it again. Last time was just after the Houston Open. It was outstanding, but they went up significantly on the green fees.

This time the course looked like a bad muni. Thin grass amongst the large areas of dirt in the fairways. Fairway bunkers had weeds growing in them. Green side bunkers were caving in around the edges and had tractor tread marks going through them. Tee boxes were ragged. Greens were still good.

I was not told beforehand how bad it was. Wasn't worth the $55 deal price.

Floods. PGA.

Playing this course after the PGA and the Floods have come thru was tough. Doug the caddy was great. Several balls did go missing in thin air... not a lot of variety in the turn house. driving range is great. its hot out there, no beverage cart when we were there.

The course had several holes with great blind shots

Fairways were in poor shape with numerous bare spots. Several greens were patchy.

Fun course

The golf course is beautiful. The greens were fast and smooth. The rough was difficult. The fairways were in poor condition. They were thin of grass. Maybe under repair. I really enjoy the layout of the Tournament Course.

A bit high to high for what it is

If this was 100 to 125 a round than it would be 5 stars all the way buck 60 plus tax cart and for-caddie tip . I've played better for less

Everything great as expected ......

If you play this course for >$119 definitely worth it! Golfnow made the total experience happen, and it was outstanding. Golf Club of Houston is the stallion amongst the mules in a public golf course setting.

Beautiful course

Course was beautiful and very well-maintained. Caddie was helpful. Played round in 3 1/2 hrs! Greens rolled true, but we're a bit slow. Fairways were immaculate.

Very lush, beautiful.

Brilliant green oasis, very wet as they are pouring water on it in advance of the tournament. Greens very smooth but slower
than they look, have to adjust to it. Pace of play was great. I think we were only the 2nd group out as of 9:30am. Price higher than most courses in area but well worth it. Our caddy "Mike" was great, request him if you can.

Perfect weather, course is in great shape

As advertised, I would say the course condition is the best in the Houston area. Got a great deal on GolfNow with an afternoon Hotdeal - with perfect 70+ degree weather. Pace was a little slow - for a twosome - still finished in 4:00 (finished in the dark...). I'll definitely be back.
