The course was in good shape. The greens were very good. It rained about 30 minutes but the course absorbed it well. I enjoyed the round and will come back.
Great course!
I havent been golfing very long. This December marks my 2 year anniversary, but I have played just about every course in the greater Houston area and this ties with Moody Gardens as the nicest looking course (my favorite course is Vaaler in Blanco,TX). It was well manicured and all but a handful of the bunkers have been repaired from the recent dlood damage. I got a great Hot Deal through GolfNow. I highly recommend this course to everyone. I drove an hour to get there and look forward to my next visit.
first time, not last
title says it all, need 25 characters so here they are
Worth the drive...
I live in Sugar Land and I can promise this...you won't be disappointed to make the trip to The Wilderness. The staff makes you feel like you are part of a country club. Extremely friendly and helpful. The course plays long and has many tricky greens, but a truly enjoyable course.
excellent as usual
This course is amazing, for a municipal, or any other type of course. Beautiful layout, good condition except for the bunkers which they were completely rebuilding, including new drainage apparently. Friendly staff. Had the course to myself on a Wednesday afternoon!
The undulations on a couple of the greens was unreal, but very playable.
This place is a gem.
Fun at the Golf Course
This was the second time I have played since the Memorial Day weekend floods. Overall the team at the course has done a wonderful job recovering from the flood. They are still working on the bunkers; installing new drainage and sand. The greens are in remarkable shape for this time of the year. I recommend that anyone looking for a challenge and fun time play the Wilderness!
Make the drive
Very nice morning round. Greens and fairways are in awesome condition. Bunkers still under repair but the rest of the course was in excellent condition. Will definitely be back soon.
All Around Great Experience
Worth the drive! Dave in the pro shop was very helpful. Greens rolled great and overall conditions were fantastic. All around amazing course! If you are an avid golfer, you owe it to yourself to check this course out!
Can't wait to play this one again!
It is hard to believe that just a few weeks ago much of this course was under water due to flooding. The turf conditions from tee to green are immaculate. The definition between fairway and rough is great. You are rewarded for keeping your tee sheet in the fairway and fairly penalized from the rough. The greens were smooth, but make sure you are on the same level as the pin! Once the bunker renovation is complete this course will be close to perfect. If you live in the Houston area, make the drive. It is worth it.
Beautiful course!
Course was absolutely beautiful, and I love the layout. I only knocked off one star for course conditions because they are still recovering from major flooding a month ago. All things considered, they have done an amazing job to get the course in great shape! The bunkers will take the longest to recover, and they are currently considered GUR.
The greens are absolutely some of the best I've ever putted on, and they rolled fast and true. Fairways are lush and smooth. Love this course!
Nice to get out of the city to play
Enjoyed the challenging course. Front nine was cart path only and we couldn't figure out why. It was very dry and hot, the cart path only made it more challenging. Back 9 was 90 degree which helped. Would like to go back and play again when full cart play allowed and all holes open to play as designed.
Staff were very nice folks and welcoming to us.
Great golf course
My second time playing the Wilderness. Perhaps the best public course in the Houston area (comparable in quality to Redstone and Blackhorse). Very good layout in a great venue - no houses, in a forest (wild deer, etc..). Course itself is a good challenge - the large greens keeps the track from being overly difficult. On this round, fairways a bit thin due to time of the year & greens were slow due to recent aerating. That will correct itself in a couple of weeks. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great value for the money. I would strongly recommend. Worth the 50 minute drive from downtown Houston.
Value for the Money!!
A beautiful drive down from Houston. Most likely the best value for the money in this part of Texas. Greens are undulating and even with recent punching with top dressing rolled very true...more importantly, they held shots hit appropriately.
Great course, great staff!!!
Top notch facility and top notch Staff. Course is challenging but fair and the staff will go above and beyond to help you out.
Good golf Course great greens
Really good golf course with superior greens. Very good speed and lots of undulation. Nice clubhouse and staff is very friendly.
The Wilderness
This course is a must play. A real hidden gem and worth the 50 minute drive from where I live. The greens were rolling as fast as any I have played on. Great value for the money.
Great Course about 45 minutes from Houston
Great layout with Fairways and greens in great shape. Moderately challenging for average golfer.
Incredible Course
It's a long drive, but worth it once you get there. The course is beautiful and soft and the staff is very nice. I was a little surprised they didn't have any energy drinks. No Red Bull, 5 hour energy, Monster etc. This is now one of my favorite courses, I'll just have to bring my own Red Bull.
Enjoy your day at Wilderness
Wilderness is always fun to play. In great shape, and a challenging course. The greens are always soft, and undulating. This is a course that I could play everyday.
Very enjoyable round of golf
The greens were very fast and in some challenging locations. The fairways were very good but the grass was a little high so the ball didn't roll very much. Overall a very enjoyable round of golf. I will certainly play there again.
