About
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.

Course was basically dead. Most fairway shots are from bare dirt or dead grass. Dust clouds every time your ball hits the ground. This includes the greens.
Solid course
Fairways could really use a nice watering but the greens were great. Great pace. Small complaint is that there are houses surrounding a ton of the holes. Hoping they will give the fairways some love but will play again. The full rate of $80 would seem a bit high for this course though.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the state of our fairways. We will make sure to address this issue in order to improve the overall experience. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the greens and the pace of play. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round in the future.

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
