Wilderness Golf Course

I scheduled a round for Father's Day early enough to have family time afterwards. Since none of my regular golf buddies were able to play, I went as a single. The Marshall paired my up with a threesome which was fine as on A Sunday singles either have to play through a lot or wait on every hole. The course is in excellent shape, as usual. One thing I did notice was the pace on the greens seemed to vary between holes. Over all it was an enjoyable round. I look forward to my next one.

This is a beautiful course and is super clean in every way. Greens were superb, and the holes were challenging enough. Especially the under rated par fives.

My only knocks are
1) Google will point you in the wrong direction and make you overshoot the runway on 288 if you are coming from Houston.
2) You will die from blood loss if you do not come prepared for the Mosquitos. They are everywhere.

Nice shaded parking lot. Courteous staff in club house. Warm up facilities are excellent ( practice green , chipping, sand trap , and driving range). On time tee times. Not over-priced. Well maintained fairways and undulating greens, Fair layout for all handicap levels (pick the tees to fit you handicap). Sand traps were among the best in the Houston area, Greens were large, receptive and fast but not "unfair" pin placements. Well worth the 45 minute drive from southeast Houston

The Wilderness is well worth the drive down to Lake Jackson. From Missouri City, it takes me about 40 minutes.
The link style course is secluded in a wooded refuge. The fairways are wide, but the greens are protected by deep bunkers. There's not a flat spot on the greens, and they role fast and true.

This golf course is a good test of golfing skills and beautiful.

Fun layout and challenging. Front 9 is a good warmup for the back 9, as everything gets tighter and more scenic. It actually gets a little shorter on the back 9, so they throw you a bone there.

The greens are complex and challenging. They always roll true and are fast, but be ready to three putt a few times because of the complexity of the humps on the greens and the larger influencing mounds around the greens.

The par-5s are my favorites. Pack a lunch for playing holes 9 and 18, they are difficult and long. I'll return early and often to play this hidden gem. It is worth the drive from Houston and all of Houston's suburbs.

This is a great course!
The course is kept up well, it's beautiful and scenic and peaceful. It's also challenging and has good practice areas to prepare! The people there are so friendly also! It is tops on my list!

Airiation almost complete. Most holes are filling in nicely. Pace of play was fast (Monday, go figure). Fairways are beautiful for Bermuda. The greens here are a nice change of pace. Lots of undulation and fast. Neat design on all the par 3's, all very different and make you shape shots. Par 5's aren't so long toy have no chance at eagle. Course management is key here, picking the right club. I will be back with some friends next time. Enjoy, go play!

Very fun layout. Nice Green and pace of play was great. At the time I played, there are a few dry spots on fair way.

I always like to play The Wilderness. The greens are well maintained and the fairways tight. The greens had been airiated and sanded but they were still putting with good pace and not too bumpy. It was Saturday and the course was full. At the turn there were 4 groups on number 10 but still finished all 18 in a little over 4 hours. Will play there more and walk. Very enjoyable.

I really like this course. It is challenging but fair. There are a few greens that can have tough pin placements (7, 9, 10, 14, 16). The greens had been punched recently & were a little bumpy, that was the only condition issue. The round was incredibly slow, 5 hours is just too long. Seems like the biggest issue is people not being "ready". When the group ahead clears the green, players are just starting to choose the club, figure out honors, I just don't get it, why do people think playing slow is fun. How about a 3 1/2 hour round and then go have a few beers after the round.

Great course however it needs more water because the fairways were hardpan!!

Had a great round yesterday at Wildnerness Golf Club. The course is beautiful and a hidden gem in the Houston area.

I have played this course many times. The greens had been punched so putting was not at its best. The greens are usually consistantly fast. I love playing here especially fAll n spring.
The Wilderness is a challenging course and fun. PlY it if you can you will enjoy zsome unique golf holes.
The pace was not too bad because the course was full.

Very fair setup, course condition for this time of the year was good only can get better. Pace was over 5 hours due to a tournament on Sunday. No marshals on course. Greens were just punched so a little rough.

This is one of those reviews where I am projecting what could have been. The staff is very friendly, the course has a good design and is moderately challenging. The major issue I had was with the greens having been aerated within the past week or two as the holes from the process had not closed up. On GolfNow, the A! symbol was not posted when the tee time was selected. Additionally they had sanded the greens (to excess as there were splotches on the greens where you saw sand but no green).

I suspect in a couple of weeks with a little rain, this would be a very good course to play.

Long challenging course with strategically placed bunkers, ball placement very important, course in good shape coming off an unseasonable cold winter. Staff friendly, knowledgeable and ready to accommodate , just wish the local golfers were as happy to see you.

A group of 16 played this course on 02/23/2014 and we all were very pleased with the golf experience at the Wilderness. The course was in great shape for the season and the staff was very friendly and professional. A great golf experience that everyone should experience. Thanks

1st time to play here. Unfortunately dead of winter. But will definitely head back when course is in bloom. Might be the coolest greens in all of Houston area. Lots of slope change and roll pure. Very nice course. Has some Gators too.

My wife and I had a great time . We used a coupon on golf now and it was where the drive. Thank you.

Challenging, fair and fun! Go try it out. You won't be disappointed
