About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7337 yards
Slope 139
Rating 75.3

Houston National Golf Club, located in the northwestern part of the city, definitely follows the old adage that "everything is bigger in Texas." This whopping course stretches to 7,337 yards from the back tees. It is a lengthy golf course no doubt, but it doesn't just favor those who can hit long. The layout has a unique links design, so long hitters will be pleased but they will have to be careful of the numerous pot bunkers and other strategically placed hazards waiting treacherously throughout. The golf course has an interesting character that sets it apart from others nearby thanks to a landscape of rolling hills and hardly any trees, a surprise since there is no shortage of trees in the area. Houston National Golf Club's wide-open links design also subjects golfers to the strong prevailing winds, making several of the holes especially tricky.

I realize it's not country club quality but I enjoyed the course. It was challenging and the pace of play early on a Friday was excellent.

Needs Marshalls! slow pace of play

this course really needs marshals around watching the pace of play. My group decided to not play the last two holes as there was a 2 group back up on each hole. If we would of play our whole round it would of been an over 5 hour game
