CPO Bummer

Course was in great shape pre LIV tourney but they had it as cart path only with zero notification prior to showing up and checking in. Understandable but would have been nice to have that communication ahead of time. Really slowed down pace of play.

Amazing course, slow pace

Course is in amazing condition I'm assuming because of the LIV tournament in June. Had to wait for 20 minutes to get a cart, which is ridiculous considering the green fee, and the pace of play is awful.

Worth playing but I won't be back unless it's a special occasion. Too expensive.

An Enjoyable Day in Houston

I recently visited Houston on a work conference and was able to play a Sunday round at the Golf Club of Houston. The course is highly manicured and I felt I was in South West Florida on a championship course with Bermuda type greens that rolled quickly and Florida fairway grass. The layout was fun and not too difficult but bring your driver (250yds min) from Blue tees. I enjoyed the layout and the staff was very nice . I would play this course every time I visit Houston . One annoying thing was most holes were in cart path only mode when only a few were cautioned to avoid by the starter James. James was very helpful and a terrific guy. The gps in the cart would disallow you to drive on the open fairways but it was a lot of holes ( 80%) and for almost 100 dollars - annoying. I can only assume they are preparing for an upcoming LIV tournament, also watch tee boxes rotated , you may be hitting further back than you realize . But again a great course to play!

Excellent course - worth the $?

Great course, loved it! Fairways, greens, staff, club house all perfect. A little steep in $ to let me play more often, but worth the treat each chance I get to play here! Highly recommended. Only thing is the golf carts are next gen smart which takes some getting used … making nearly entire course being cart path only, rest of the time reversing out of red zones! :)

Beautiful course

Great golf course. I had never played it. The cart electronics were very helpful in shot placements. Open and breezy area. Depending on the wind, there is some air traffic leaving and coming in at IAH.

Pace of play

endured a 6 hour round sunday 4/21. group in front of us couldn't seem, to grasp the concept that with cart path only you might reference the cart GPS yardage, take two clubs to ball, use range finder, then select. No. go to ball, use range finder, go back to cart, get club. In addition to this absurdity, they routinely would not tee off on a hole until the group ahead was on the green. they would sit around an BS on the tee box. It was painful. Attempts to get the marshall to hurry them along were not successful. Brutal round, but the course is nice, fun, and in good shape. If they had any beverage service out on the course, that would be a welcomed addition.

My overall rating is due almost exclusively to pace of play. 6 hours is absurd on every level.
