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.

Does not honor posted rates
I booked a specific late in the day tee time on a Saturday primarily because the rate was posted at $20 lower than other times. I get to the course and am rudely told that the price is the price regardless of the time. The staff member refused to honor the golfnow price even after I showed him my golfnow reservation confirmation. I was forced to pay the higher price because if I didn’t i feared the club would charge my card anyways and I wouldn’t at least get the benefit of playing. Felt very taken advantage of. Course was ok value. Groups in front were slow and would not let me play through. No marshal to move things along. Overall negative experience.

Pleasant Surprise
First time player, very happy overall. Fairways were pretty bare but got pro rolls when putting it down the middle. Really enjoyed the layout, plenty water danger and rolling jagged hills on the sides of the fairway with no telling how your ball will react. Greens rolled true and fast, not perfect but they were the best greens I’ve played in the 8-10 course ice played this year. Great outdoor bar, gasoline carts and friendly people. Highly recommend!

Condition below average
The fairways were not in good condition. If you it off the fairway slightly the mounds were not in good shape. The greens were average but some weeds around the fringes. Tee boxes were good. For the the rate they are charging on the weekend the course. should be in better condition. Great golf track . Condition need some work. I hope to see it get better in late spring early summer.

Pleasant
The course was a little bare in places, but it was still nice. They could do a little more with course layout maps, got myself in a little bind a couple times.
Thank you for your review! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Houston National Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Green Review
Several Greens had a few rough spots on them; however most were good to excellent! Faster than most other courses greens that I have played in the greater Houston area! I love fast greens since I believe they are the most fair...and I consistently play 8-10 courses in the greater Houston area.

Honored to show off this course
I was joined by Ben, recently moved to Katy from Wisconsin. I was playing solo at my usual brisk pace of ready golf when Ben came roaring up behind me, hitting humongous shots on #2, catching up on 3. I went to wave him thru not wanting to slow him down when Ben mentioned this was his first time at Houston National. This course can have some surprises so I was only to happy to guide him., Ben hits from the tips, played in college so I was glad to join up.,The greens are much improved after the deep freeze last month.! We both liked the value, $35! Hot Deal in Golf Now.. the plumbing was fixed in the grill. Beverage cart was well stocked and helpful. I bragged on the upcoming two finishing holes and they didn’t disappoint. As a weatherman, couldn’t ask for a nicer day. We finished in just over an hour. My favorite course.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We appreciate you rating us 5-stars and for taking the time to leave us a review! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Houston National Golf Club!
