Do Yourself A Favor!

I’ll admit it’s a drive, but I could play this course everyday if it was more convenient. Clubhouse is nothing fancy, but staff is so friendly it makes up for it. Conditions are always good, cost one star because of a temp. green this time. Keep up the good work gents, love it!

Best value around, treat yourself.

Great course, friendly staff

This course has the most unique greens in the state. But they are flattening out one of the best. Hole 14. If this sort of thing continues it will just be a friendly staff and cookie cutter greens.

Undulating Greens

Tee to green course is in excellent condition for this time of year. Most tee shots are straight. A few has slight dogleg. Greens were consistently fast with severe undulation. Pin placements were very difficult. I will definitely return.

The staff was fantastic. The food was good. I played behind a group and still finished in under 4 hours easily. The course was in great shape and would have received 5 stars except for the work still being done.

Can't Recommend Highly Enough!

Great course, one of the best in the area. Only downside is it's too far from home to play it all the time.

Great Layout

Great layout and great fun. They are working on the bunkers right now, but even that won’t keep me away. The greens roll true and the course plays fair for all skill levels. I highly recommend taking a drive out to The Wilderness, you won’t be disappointed.

Cultivated Wilderness

Always love to return here. Despite very wet conditions (after several days of rains and drizzling) the course entirely playable. Bunkers were still not ready (most of course inundated during Harvey) , but they have been already worked on so we can expect them to be in perfect conditions very soon. This course is simply a pearl in southeast Texas and rightfully considered one of the best in Texas. Be careful around green on #15 where fire ants were building their anthills.
