Golf Club of Houston - Member Course

Everything was perfect, except numerous tee boxes were chewed up and in poor shape. The greens were miraculous and fairways were nice.....so I really expected more from the tee boxes. Other than that, no complaints!

As always, GCoH has screaming fast greens that run true. Fun tight fairways. I love playing here. Always a challenge.

First time playing the course, off the Blue tees some long carries but fair. Greens in good condition but usual pitch marks not being repaired. Sand in bunkers heavy coarse material. Overall impressions were good and would recommend playing there. One piece of information, this is the second course at the club and the only one non members can play, I assume main course to be off a higher standard.

Course played very well for Sunday Afternoon. Greens were in good shape and running fairly quickly. Pace of play was best I have seen in a long time, as the tee sheet was fairly empty on a NFL Sunday afternoon. Overall course is close to dormant except for some highly fertilized areas around the greens. Pace was quick and golf course in great shape, win win.

I got a great deal on a noon round for four on GN. However, after I checked in I was told carts would be coming as there were none. Seriously? At a Semi-Private former host to the Houston Open facility? There was a couple patiently waiting for a cart for their 11:30 tee time and it was now approaching our 12:00 noon tee-time. I prepaid for the round and we were here to celebrate my buddy’s birthday. Now I’m wondering @are we gonna tee off on time?” The desk staff said they were hoping carts would come soon. We were playing the Tournament course. So I proceeded over to the cart barn at the members course and asked when we would get a cart. The guy in charge said “well if you just stick round here we’ll see iid we can get all some carts soon. “ Then a member walked up and told me he had to wait two hours for a cart recently. We ended up getting two carts and drove back over to the Tournament course only to find the 11:30 tee time couple still waiting. So I drove back to the cart barn and informed them there was a couple waiting. It’s now 12:05 and we proceeded to the first tee but felt bad for the couple still waiting. All else was fine. I received a call asking if I’d be interested in membership information but after the cart shortage episode I declined even though I was previously considering joining. I was told by one of the members that private carts were prohibited (the same guy that had to wait 2 hours for a cart .

Not sure we’ll go back even though we enjoyed the facility.

The first time the golf cart battery died, I was shocked, but what was really unpleasant was the attitude of the workers in solving the problem.

The golf course was well maintained, but not worth paying that much for.

We were very fortunate to play GCOH Tourney course last week & loved it!!!! No houses - just a fantastic place to play near the airport!!! Way better than some of Houston's private clubs- former shell houston open home!!! DO IT!!!

Greens are in great shape. We did notice some hog damage but none on the fairways. Pace of play was great and cart service was great.

We grabbed a HOT Deal and felt it was a good value.

The location is great for midtown folks but if you live west of downtown it’s a haul.

I played five well recommended courses during a recent trip to Houston and this was by far my favorite. Really great layout with no uninteresting holes. Conditions were excellent, best maintained traps I'd seen in some time and greens were pretty much flawless, rolled fast and very true. Staff was very friendly and helpful from pro shop to starter. Cart girl was really on her game. We'll stocked pro shop and nice practice area. Five stars across the board.

If you want to feel like a PGA pro, play this course. We'll taken care of. Fast greens that move just enough. Plenty of hazards to keep it interesting yet also wide to stay safe.

Came almost 2 hours early and the starter was able to get me out early!! Cheers.

Can't wait to play again.
