Very well kept, very long course, and loads of fun to play!

If you're going to come out bring mosquito spray!!! There are loads of them and you will be eaten alive if you don't bring any.

On to the review.

One of the most challenging courses I've played yet, at a slope of 126 it offered just enough difficulty for it to still be fun. There are deer and lots of other wildlife in the area, gorgeous views all around and the course is in pristine condition.

Excellent shape, fast and big greens, good value for money

Course is nice with fairways, bunkers, and greens in good shape. I would have liked GPS on cart and 150 yd pole markers. Green fees were resonable considering excellent shape it was in. Big negative for us was the mosquitoes since course is next to marshland. Maybe we will go back in fall.

Great course, and very friendly staff.

I would rate this course as one of the top daily fee courses in the Houston area, Very difficult from the back tees, but is enjoyable from the front tees for those who do not hit the ball very far. Greens are fantastic, and are fast and undulating.

Bring your bug spray

Have played here twice. The mosquitoes are horrible. It is usually in good shape year round but quite pricey. If you like boring, straight par 4's, this is the place for you. Not worth the drive in my opinion.

The course was ok, due to heavy rains the day prior- standing water in fairways and in some bunkers- cart path only

Loved the course, wish water was not there, but we need the rain, but always enjoy playing there. Wish it was a lil cheaper, so i could play more :/

Sanded Greens

Great value for a wonderful golf course. The Wilderness was in great shape (tee boxes, fairways, bunkers) however, we caught the course after recent sand treatment. One week from now, the greens should be perfect.

Spectacular!!

What a beautiful course! Surrounded by protected wetlands and bird sanctuary, this is an amazing golf experience. The fairways are in excellent condition and the greens roll well. I have played faster greens but not many with more tiers and undulations. LOVE this place! Well worth the trip from Houston and bring a buddy to share the experience with.

Challenging course

Though it is a bit far from Houston, I really enjoyed my round. The greens were rather difficult to read and some hole locations were nearly impossible. I will come back in the summer to see it fully in bloom.

Excellent, scenic, well-maintained course

With Moody Gardens in Galveston, The Wilderness is the best municipal course in the Houston area. The course winds through huge, moss- covered oaks in a river bottom with alligators, nutria, and millions of birds. It is well maintained, especially the greens which are smooth and putt true. I had 9 one putts during my last round. That is about 3 times my usual total. The staff is super friendly and the course is uncrowded. We played on a Monday afternoon and there were fewer than 20 groups on the course.
