Golf Club of Houston - Member Course

Always the best manicured golf and practice facility

Played the tournament course two times while visiting Houston over President's Weekend. Staff, Starter and Marshals were polite, professional and welcoming. A real bonus to playing this course is the incredible practice facilities including four separate greens and many bunkers and chipping areas to work on your short game as well as a driving range. Getting their early to warm up as this incredible practice area was well worth it!

The course is prepping for the upcoming PGA tournament and was in outstanding shape, in spite of the recent weeks of rain. On almost all occasions, according to a member we played with, this course is "cart path only". ..making for a 4 -4.5 hrs round, however also preserving the fairways to near perfect winter shape. The course offers four tee boxes per hole so you can readily adjust the length of your game to the T box selection. Bunkers and water are plentiful on many holes and help to make this relatively flat course challenging and interesting. In spite of being close to the airport, the course is replete with natural beauty and even offered us a view of a bald eagle and Bobcat, while we were playing. A good mix of long par 4's and 5's with dog leg left and right as well as many holes with water and bunkers protecting T shots and approaches to the green. Since we were heading to the airport after our round, the staff generously offered us the member showers...another example of their welcoming spirit to "non-members"

In summary, a great value, especially in the PM, for the average to above average golfer. I would come again in a heartbeat and a definite don't miss if you are in Houston.

Rain all during round. Course and greens held up great

The Tournament Course was in Excellent shape for early winter. Greens were still running a tad bit slow, but much faster than they normally would be this time of the year. Overall Speed was probably in the 8-9 Range. Fairways and Rough are relatively grown in with the Overseed. Course was a little damp in spots from overnight rain of over an inch. Several of the balls plugged on drives, which is normal till February/March when the Houston Open prep starts. Great day, nobody out on a Monday and 65 degrees!

This is a nice course. People seem to think it is very difficult because pros play it, but because the course is well taken care of, you might shoot lower than elsewhere. I liked this course enough that I played 3 times within a month. Unfortunately on the last round I left a $170 speaker in the cart. I did not play it because we got paired with others. This is 3x the price we paid for the round. I called the next morning and left my info. The cart guys should have found it right? Wrong. I called a couple more times and they said they would look into it. I don't think anyone every really looked into it. Brian was very rude and condescending. Either the cart guys don't clean carts (they do) or they took my speaker. You would expect that this would be extremely unlikely for this not to happen. Haven't played here since.

Fun, not a destination but worth playing if in the area.

Very nice pro shop staff, starter and Marshall. Course was in much better shape than the last time I played.

Cart path only was only down side, but prepping for tournament was understood.

Nice price via GolfNow, had a great time with my son!

Great Hot Deal at $50/player. The course was really wet from the rain the night before but besides that it was in excellent shape. The staff was friendly and the cart girl came by regularly. It did take 4hrs to play for a twosome which was a lot slower than I’d hoped for but with it being cart path only that was to be expected. With deals like this I’ll definitely be back to play again.

As usual the course is in great condition, even though they’re still in the overseeding process. Pace of play was slow, but that’s because of cart path only, which was expected with overseeding. However, price was over 50% off of normal, can’t beat that for a course like this.

Awesome course, even though it was wet the course was in great shape. Will play it again soon.

Fun course ! Getting ready for tour play early . Greens were fine but fairways were wet due to fertilization and it was cart path only for this reason.Sounds like this will continue up until tournament time, so plan on a little extra walking! Overall a good experience with the deal we got from Golf Now !!

Course is what you would expect for a premier championship course in winter. Overseeded grass was mostly ok but as you get closer to your ball, lots of bare areas, sparse grass. December golf conditions - slow greens.

It is what it is for December.

Most outstanding memory is the rudeness of the Pro Shop Staff. This does not appear to be a new thing, reading some historical reviews. The clubhouse serves the Member course also so non-members are treated like second class citizens by shop staff. Club manager needs to get a grip of the customer service side. Sam & Scott (?) just plain rude.

Love the layout. Played during overseeding so a little wet and greens somewhat slow. Cart path only also. Will be in excellent shape when winter grass comes in.

Getting to play on a professional tournament course was awesome. Especially for the price

I feel like this course would be great close t when the open is played there, but they probably spend 8 months of the year updateing, repairing and prepping. Definitely need to call first to check course conditions and events.

I scheduled a round, not knowing they had a tournament going on ahead of me. After 2 & 1/2 hours, 8 holes, and unable to get into a rhythm, that was enough for me.

That said, best greens I’ve ever putted on, and very friendly staff.

I had a super time.

This course will humble your game.

Stay focus at all times especially on those short putts.

The staff was very friendly and professional and the course was well manicured! Will be back!

I played the first week of August. I got a "hot deal" on golfnow, for $52/player before tax & fees. Came out to be $59 total. The course is temporarily not requiring a forecaddie after 11a. The tournament course is never at its best during the summer, so my expectations are reasonable. However, with all the recent rains, the fairway grass was very good. The ball would sit up nicely.

There were not "dry pan" areas. The course is known for their greens. However, the greens were recently aerated so the greens were very bumpy and the grass was pretty thick. It took a few holes before I got the feel for how hard to hit the ball. For less than $60 it was a very great deal.

Great course. Don't expect it to look like the Houston Open. Months of hard work go into that week. It is still one of the best experiences you can have. Titlesits range balls complimentary.
