Rating Snapshot
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.

Once was too many times
First time playing, staff weren't friendly, no marshals to enforce pace of play, driving range borders first and ninth holes which caused errant range balls in play. The course itself is nice and well laid out, but play at your own risk.
We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Please contact us to share with us your favorite part of your experience. Thanks for golfing at Houston National Golf Club!
First time and last time
Pro shop helpfulness was non existent. Pace of play was horrible, I ended up cutting my round short at hole 11 because the two threesome's ahead of me took 10-15 minutes per shot.
The course is technical and nice, but won't play there again

Not worth the price
Course has been in much better condition before, and still a course I enjoy, but it is just not worth what they are charging for it right now. I’ve played courses recently in double the condition for 10 to 15 dollars less. There are pretty big rock solid burnt sand patches in every fairway. Greens are decent but some with clear bad patches. Just not worth the price right now.

Recovering

Quality course for late July. Yikes on the carts
Course is in good enough shape for late July in Houston. Some burns on greens but overall well maintained. The carts are completely different story. They are all in dire need of service and the tires spin and screech every time you start. No reason not to play, just don’t think your specific cart is broken.
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Houston National Golf Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!

Fun course
Course was in good condition and had a lot of challenging features. Cart path only due to all the rain which slowed play a little. Overall it was a good course and I would play again.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Houston National Golf Club!
The condition of a few greens was not up to par. Some bare spots in some of the fairways. Due probably to weather quite a few unplayable bunkers. Still my go to course in bad weather though.
We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Houston National Golf Club. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
Punched greens
Overall nice layout. Bunkers will need work, just about all were unplayable. Greens were just punched but in a couple weeks should roll well. Fairways and tee boxes in above average shape. Worth playing again.

Slightly let down
This is my second time plaything this course, and this time I was let down. The course was a bit beat up. Greens are currently aerated and covered in sand. With the rain the sand just clumped up on the ball and made putting very slow. Fairways were okay except for a couple flooded areas.
Can’t wait for the greens to get better.
=We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We strive for a 5-star experience, so we welcome your feedback. We work hard to maintain the course for everyone's benefit, which means aerifying the greens as part of our regular maintenance schedule. The greens will be healed soon and in pristine condition.

Great course for the $65 at 11:30
Good course, can’t complain about the course at all. A few bare spots here and there and a dead patch on 2 greens, but that’s summer in Houston for a golf course. Nothing to really do about that, and any that were apparent were minimized. Worth the $65 if you’re a regular golfer. Rained out at 9, so I have to get ahold of GolfNow for the rain check, but that’s a golf now policy, not the course. Definitely will be back.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Houston National Golf Club.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Houston National Golf Club!
Great course
First time playing this course, I am by no means a pro. Just an average guy. It’s a great course of you can hit the “Long Ball” as well as the more technical players that excel at the short game. Will play again
We're glad to hear you had a great first time playing Houston National Golf Club! We look forward to having you back soon.
Played here a lot over the years
First time I can say I was really disappointed. Had a 12:20 tee time, checked in 12 and couldn't even get a cart until 12:30. No marshalls out here to keep pace so we got to the par 3 7th and had 3 groups backed up and waiting.
The priority is definitely the Sterling side. Could be a top public course in Houston, maybe Texas, if the effort and money were there.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Houston National Golf Club!
