Golf Club of Houston - Member Course

One of the tires of my cart exploded while I was riding it and it took the staff 40 min to get me another cart.

The best course I have ever played, fairways were picture perfect. The greens were good, but the grounds crew was getting the course ready for the Valero open. But just a great course, price was great !

This is by far this best course I have ever played! PGA level course tough and challenging! Superior

The course itself is great. They are getting it ready for the tournament so the greens are covered in sand which makes it very rough to putt. Other than that it was awesome.

Course was in great shape. Only negative was it was cart path only. THey don 't want anyone on fairways until Houston Open is over.

This was my first time playing The Tournament course at Golf Club of Houston. My tee time was pushed back over 1.5 hrs. due to rain and the course being wet.

The course is beautiful and was in good shape but due to the rain was very wet and soggy and cart path only. I got a deal on TeeOff.com. I thought the value of the course for what I payed was fantastic.

The greens were in great condition (smooth, quick with lots of subtle slopes and undulations). The tee boxes and fairways were great.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to play.

CliffNotes for those just checking reviews:

- Car was broken into (smashed window) during an afternoon round.

- Staff was apologetic about the situation, but otherwise not helpful.

- This has happened before, and security cameras are not installed to cover the Guest Parking Lot.

- Other than the smash & grab, a nice course that was fun to play.

I played this course while in Houston visiting my in-laws for a few days. I’ll start with the positives: the twilight rate of $45 was a steal compared to some of the other courses. The course was in great shape despite the amount of rain. The marshal allowed me to play as a single since it was pretty open, and good pace of play allowed me to complete the round in under 3 hours.

Now for the negative: During the round, someone smashed the middle window on the driver’s side of my car and took a backpack. This happened in broad daylight sometime between 2:00 (when I arrived) and 4:30 (when my bank’s fraud dept called me about some attempted charges.) Upon getting back to my car, I called the pro shop to let them know about what had happened. The person in the pro shop was apologetic for what had happened, but that was about it; no one came out to check on the situation, see if they could do anything to assist, etc... After filing a report with a police officer, I went in to let someone know that there was a ton of glass in the parking lot. They were closing up, and I was helped a lot by a woman whose name I can’t remember. She took my name and info, and said she’d pass it along to the GM who would call in the morning after checking the security cameras. She was the most helpful person in all of this. I called him (Repeat: I. Called. Him.) at 2pm the next day, left a message, and he called back. He was also apologetic, said there was nothing on the cameras, and that was that.

During this process, I was told “we haven’t had a break-in in months... for a while, an officer would do patrols through the parking lot.” I read a review about a break-in a year ago in what sounds like a similar situation. Overall, everyone I dealt with was nice and apologetic about the situation, but that was about it. It’s easy to be nice to someone who has just had their car’s window smashed in and stolen from while on your property. However, playing on a course with such a good reputation, I expected more. More assistance, more communication — anything that could have helped take the bad taste out of my mouth. This is a course that plays host to a PGA Tour event, not the local muni. Had this happened to a member, naturally, more assistance would have been given. I’m not naïve enough to expect the same treatment as a member who pays thousands per year, but some attempt to remedy the situation given the circumstances would have been nice.

Last thing: if this has happened multiple times, put some cameras on the light poles that would cover the entire parking lot.

It was fun to play the same course as the big boys play .

Course is in great condition, lots of water though.

Due to rain it was cart path only but we also pretty much had the course to ourselves as well.

First 10 holes were great. Greens were just aerated but played ok. Thunder came and left but when it came back rain was too much. Had to call it.

Staff failed to mention the greens were punched after we paid our fee...I would have never have played here had I known that. One thing I value is course conditions and for what we paid for the round I expected much more. Our caddie was amazing and I appreciate his hustle on the course....his name is Austin and if you can have him join your group I highly recommend him.

Staff was great our caddy Austin was amazing but the aerated greens were awful. Hopefully they’ll be in shape before too long because the course was great otherwise.

The course was in good shape other than tee box's greens were smooth but not overly fast good day to play

The course is beautiful and was in good shape, but I was surprised by some patches of dead grass in the fairways, particularly because it is an expensive round. The layout was fun but also seemed a bit redundant. This would be a 4-star rating if not for the ridiculous cost. There are plenty of other courses in the area you could play for much cheaper and a similarly nice golf experience.
