Houston National Golf Club

Easy to find each hole without needing a GPS, navigation map through the golf cart, they also have a car that goes around if you want to buy an extra drink or two while you play

I've played Houston International GC 8 times this year and this most recent round (07/25/26) will likely be my last for a very long time. There were so many issues! My tee time was at 10:30 AM, and the round took 5 ½ hours to complete because the Marshall was very liberal with allowing slow play by the 10:00 AM foursome. I didn't even play holes 13-17 because of the back-up. My cart mate and I drove through the aforementioned holes to see what was going on and potentially forego playing the remaining holes, only to observe the 10 AM foursome fishing for golf balls with NO GOLFERS playing ahead of them. Unbelievable!! We drove pass them and two small children (approximate ages: 8 and 5 yrs old), were instructed by one of the adult golfers to move the cart up as we drove by them. So, we drove through the 17th tee box and dropped our balls within our typical distance hitting driver off the tee box, so that we can hit an approach shot and putt out. We then drove to the 18th hole and it was wide open (SMDH!). We played the entire hole and ended our round. All but the greens were in really bad shape. I payed $96.35 for a round and course condition that was only worth $50.00. By the way, I was part of a foursome and all of our carts malfunctioned on the 12th hole, literally moving in slow motion. I called and spoke with Dennis in the pro shop, only to be told that there's nothing he can do other than reset the GPS. He did, and the issue still existed for all of the 12th hole, and recovered on the 13th hole. He offered to have someone bring out a different cart, but the issue had already resolved itself. I asked him to turn my GPS off and he said he couldn't do it because then it would allow me to drive anywhere on the course, essentially implying that I would violate golf course rules. I'm 52 years old and fanatical about doing things the right way and being a good citizen. Very disappointing! I'm going back to my home course: Memorial Park GC. Or, my other two favorites: Tour 18 GC and Golf Course at Houston.

Unkept rough, terribly kept fairways, badly kept greens, terrible pace of play, and about $50 over a fair price.

Fairways were in poor condition and rough were very high uncut. Lost lot of balls in rough. Greens were in good condition. Thr course has good layout, contours and can be a very good course if maintained, Course is need of maintenece.

Overall, I’d say we had a decent experience. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating to our schedule, which we really appreciated. The course offers great amenities, and the beverage cart attendant was awesome—friendly, attentive, and made the round more enjoyable. The pricing was also very reasonable, making it a good value.

The course itself was definitely challenging. There are a lot of hills and thick rough, and I lost several balls in the tall grass that I thought would be easy to find. Hitting out of the rough was also difficult. I’m still new to golf and have only been playing for about four months, so that definitely contributed to my experience. More experienced golfers will likely appreciate the challenge. I’d recommend bringing a few extra golf balls if you play here!

The decline of this course continues. 8:30am tee time and it took over 4.5 hours to play. Rough and fairways looked like they had not been cut in days, yet the greens were sheared. Large marks on almost all of the greens. Fairways and rough are now a mix of what seems to be bermuda, st. augustine and weeds.

There should be some sort of notice when greens are punched. The food was gone when we were done with our round.

First all the greens have recently been airrated and putting was horrible. Rough was tall and almost unplayable and the pace of play was horrible. Teed off at 10:40 am and finished at 4pm. 5 hrs and 20 minutes for a round in 100 degree heat and humidity.

Not worth the money even though it was a hot deal. The greens were good and rolling true but the rough and bunkers were in horrendous shape. Layout of the course was very confusing. Would not recommend.

Only bag drop with no good direction on where to go. No golf carts in the parking lot allowed. Gentleman in the shop was nice. Driving range was ok. Fairways are Very uneven with some contains some areas that are very dry vs others that are a bit more grassy. Varies by hole. Shots landing in the fairway makes hit ball bounce/land all over the place which is hard to have consistency. Greens were decent and a bit fast. Got a bit worse in the back 9 holes. Traps are not playable at all. Prepare to lose a ton of golf balls in the rough which makes this not fun at all. I should be able to find my golf ball in the rough and keep it in play but not here. Overall an ok course. Nothing exciting here. Prob won’t be back as I hate losing golf balls about 1-2 feet into the rough.

I've played this course several times. The course was in good condition, including the greens. Pace of play was much improved, perhaps because fewer golfers are out in the hot conditions.

Had a good time. Wish I could have finished but rain ended the day for me

Course conditions were fair. Greens excellent but traps were unplayable. Fairways improved from last time I played, but still average. Inconvenient to have to use the bag drop, as they won’t let you take carts to your car. Pace of play was very good.
