Great layout but greens need to fill in

Course was good with healthy amount of challenges. Mixed up the tees to get a good feel of distances. Greens rolled fast but a couple need to fill in. Overall, good course and one worth the drive.

Great Course

Pretty course with no adjoining houses. Just an alligator or two. Fairly wide for less skilled like me. Exceptionally friendly staff and other golfers. Really glad I gave it a try. To bad it’s more than an hour from my house.

Great day to play a round

Impressed with the friendliness of the staff. There was a tournament going on but my partner and I were able to complete all 18 holes. The staff kept the pace of play consistent with the tourney as well as for individual play. Hats off to Kurt & Richard the we’re phenomenal!

Dependable course

The wilderness is in great shape. It's one of only a handful of courses in the Houston area available thru golf now whose greens are in good condition. The fairways are plush. I felt like taking off my shoes and socks to walk on it barefoot.

Annual Open House

Course has a great open house around this time of year. Great food and beverages after a fun round of golf. Considering the extremely wet weather we have had this year the course was in great shape. Greens probably as quick as I have ever played there and with amount of undulation putting is challenged. Easy to 3 putt or more if you are in the wrong section of green. Beautiful setting to enjoy with friends.

Nice course

Five hour round, they could do better on marshaling the course. Cart path only, very wet conditions so it plays really long. Easy drive from Houston.

AWESOME Course Layot - Fantastic Condition

This was my first time playing this course, and if I lived in the Houston area, this would be a course which I would play over and over again.

Everyone I encountered at the course was super friendly and fantastic. Person in the pro shop was very friendly. Since I have never before played the course, they gave me a yardage book and offered all kinds of suggestions and advise.

I played as a single. Right before I was scheduled to tee off, the starter sent out two groups of four so the starter let me tee off on hole number three which is right by the first tee and then at the end of hole #18 I played holes #1 and #2. The starter was super nice and friendly.

Overall, excellent course in very good condition.

The greens were in fantastic condition with very few non-repaired ball marks. The greens are huge, so even if you are on the green, a two putt is not a given. The greens were smooth, rolled true and quite fast.

The course flowed nicely and was really fun to play. The front nine is back and forth with several holes right next to others. The back nine is much more open and wandering with very few holes next to other holes.

Due to the fact the course in near water and in a "wilderness area" there are lots of mosquitoes so make sure to take some bug spray with you. One of my favorite courses I have played in the Houston area. Great Course. Great Value. Great Fun!!!

Wilderness is a great value for the Dollar

Wow what a fun track. Greens were in good not perfect shape, held well but were a bit slow. Fairways could use some TLC. Rough was long and SOGGY...

All in all it is a great value for a really good track. Interesting holes. Par 3’s are tough for women but most of the other holes are fair.

Beautiful track, but mosquitoes were insane

In my opinion this is the best public course in the greater Houston area - that's even without accounting for the fact that it's less expensive than many inferior courses in the area.

It's a beautiful course in excellent condition, has some character in the layout, forces thought with some risk/reward shots, and is surrounded by nature (not a subdivision, airport, industrial area, etc.). The staff is welcoming, the price is right, pace of play was great - it's really as good as you can get around here.

My 1 and only complaint is the mosquitoes. Wow are they tenacious and swarming. I should have worn pants and a long sleeve undershirt - nonetheless, I will be back again.
