Golf Club of Houston - Member Course

I got a good deal on Golfnow, paid 39$. I read some reviews and heard what condition the course was in, the guy at the pro shop asked if I knew how the course looked and told me that if I was expecting the course to look like it did in April for the SHO I would be disappointed I told him I already knew what to expect... Everyone of the workers were super nice, very helpful, and made our experience a great one. Although the course was not in the best shape and it was hot as heck, I'd play it again for the same price... I can't to play it when it gets in better shape.

Fairways were damaged due to floods. Also, the greens were recently aerated. GC did give us a free round for future visit, this was much appreciated.

Had played course in early June. Understood the rough conditions at that time - recovering from extremely rainy season. Believe course was worse this time. Should have been advised of this from course staff or GolfNow -- ESPECIALLY that it was cart path only. Maybe I should have asked BUT with the terrible condition of course, I feel that I should have been told what I was getting into before booking through GolfNow and/or arriving at course

The deal for this course came with green fees, carts and forecaddies for $100/player. When I set the tee time, I was told you have to have a forecaddie unless you tee off 1:30 or later. I was also told they were switch grass, so the course shape was marginal. We elected to take the 1:30 tee time because we did not want the extra expense for the forecaddies(20-50 tip) each. When we reached the first tee, it said "cart paths only". The pro shop could have told us this prior to the round, like when we booked it. This is Houston in July. It was probably 110 degrees with heat factor and made for a brutal round. Unless you can hit right next to the carts paths, you will spend a lot of time in the extreme heat here. Save your money and play 2 or more rounds at courses that let you ride the cart to your ball. The fairways were not soft, and golf carts would not have hurt them. The greens were in transition, so 100 for a round that you practically have to walk is not a bargain.

This is the second time in a couple of months I've had a group to play this course. Both times the course wasn't in great condition. There was dirt on almost every fairway and the greens had just been air raided. Not to mention it hasn't rained in a couple weeks and it was cart path only. I expect more from the signature course in Houston. If it's like this again it will be the last time I play there.

Was really looking forward to playing, especially with a $99 rate through GolfNow, but felt like money was wasted at end of day. Greens were punched, which was fine and totally expected this time of year in Houston. However, they have lost many of their fairways and overall the course was in terrible shape. I hope they will be able to get it back in shape for the Shell next year. I would not recommend playing the course now, especially not for the money you'll have to spend. Better rounds can be found in the area for less.

I took 3 clients Friday July 10th expecting at least grass in the fairways. With green fee and caddie tip spent 600 dollars.

The course rates in the top couple of worst conditioned courses i have ever played. It has not rained in 2 weeks and it is cart path only.

There are huge swaths of fairway with NO grass (not some NO grass) on it. This is on nearly every hole. The overseeded bent grass is all dying out on the greens so there are large areas of damage on the greens.

This course is obviously in better condition for the PGA tour but it is horrible now. They should be charging 50 bucks to play not $150 bucks right now. It is that bad.

the course was in the worst shape ever, mo grass!!!

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....

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.

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.

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

fairways are half dirt and bunkers are still very wet, not told ahead of time about conditions and that it was cart path only!!! lots of walking in the heat!!!
not happy, not worth the money, fore caddy was two weeks on the job and was not a golfer!!! no help

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.

The course was in great condition! Greens were very fast and true.. fairways very consistent Very good course. good value!

I have played this layout many times. Right now it is in extremely good shape. You should play it before it is brutally hot.

We were lucky to play. The course did not have our reservation. They did squeeze us in.

One of the nicest courses I've ever played, I will play this course again

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

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.
