First Time Playing

Nice course, but...

Really nice course but the mosquito infestation is absolutely ridiculous. This was my first time ever playing this course so it may not be like this all the time. I've lived in Louisiana and Texas for over 40 years and have never experienced anything even close to this. Almost quit multiple times because of it. Other than that, great course!

Wilderness a hidden Jem

I’ve played this course in the past and it seems it’s gets more beautiful every time. The fairways are blush and the greens are running about 9-10 nice and smooth. The bunkers have soft sand and easy to get out of.

The staff is friendly and warm . They welcomed us and made us feel like we were family.

The starter yesterday on fathers’s day was the most the most friendliest and compassionate man I’ve had the pleasure of laughing with…. Great course and will continue to recommend it to as many friends as I know…

Thank you

Richard R

Consistently excellent

Wilderness never disappoints. Course is always in great condition. Greens are In great condition. Friendly staff as always. Over and above worth the price on either a hot deal from golf now or an afternoon tee time straight from the pro shop. I am a 4 times or more a month golfer and wilderness is always one of our group's preferred locations.

OMG the MOSQUITOES !!!

Course was great as usual, but mosquitoes

made it almost unplayable. Went through 2 cans of spray. Management, please try to do something as it really takes away from the experience.

Don't book unless you like being extorted for more $$$ for a aveage muni

Booked here(and use this a lot so I know to read fine print) Golfcourse conditions were average muni, nothing more. That's not even the bad part. When arriving to the course, Pro shop says I need to pay an extra $30 for cart. Show the girl at counter, reservation includes cart. Assures me I have to pay for cart. Essentially extorted to give them another $30 on top of the $120 I pre-paid GN for golf and cart for the wife and I. What was I to do as I just drive over an hour to get there? If I would have know you would do that, I would have just gone to GC of Houston or Tour 18. At least I would have an above average course for the same price.

A shot maker's course

Great layout, very scenic course with lots of natural areas lining the fairways. Greens are in good shape and rolled true - challenging pin placements. Wind was howling 25-30 out of the SSW so it made my first round on this course a bit more difficult. Really enjoyed playing this course, will definitely play here again.
