Golf Club of Houston - Member Course

The course is great. The conditions were great and the greens had great speed and rolled true. It was a little cool and breezy but an awesome course. Especially with the Golf Now deal and the tee time credit! A great value. I purchased a GolfLogix Green Book to help me read the greens. Some reads are challenging. I plan to play the course regularly, so I bought the book. It did help me on several reads. The range is excellent too.

The drink after was disappointing. I ordered a Manhattan, and the bartender didn't have sweet vermouth. So, he concocted something he called a substitute without telling me. No cherry. He should have informed me he would have to find a solution which was okay, but not a Manhattan and he should not charge for a Manhattan. And put a cherry or two bro. Jeez. That part was lame. If the bar were half as good as the course, it would have been a perfect round.

What a great track! Played this past weekend for the first time. Besides the wind blowing 25 it was an awesome day can’t rate this place high enough!

Course was in great January shape. T-s, greens, fairways where well manicured and green. Rough was dormant as expected and cut down. I'll plan to hit this once a month up until the June tourney to see how the course progresses from amateur friendly to professional insanity. Just note that in May, whiskey will take take the sting out of a triple bogey 4putt when they start rolling 12 to 13 on the greens. Hum Baby!!

I played Golf Club of Houston with perfect weather and perfect greens. There had been rain 2 days before and it was still cart path only. I have played the Tournament Course about 3 times and I look forward to playing again. The only negative was the twosome ahead of us. The man was apparently providing lessons or instruction to the woman. She had a few swings and misses. Our foursome was waiting on that twosome. He was a very good player so I know he knew better than to be so slow. She should probably be at the range and take some formal lessons before playing a challenging course like The Tournament Course.

The driving range was closed for regular patrons but open to members or Houston university players.
