Houston National Golf Club

Course very nice...especially the greens!

Very fast, but very fair

Chose a windy and overcast day to play Houston National. Even with the late tee time, I expected to join a group but hardly anyone was playing..As I played fairly well, I remembered the challenge of this course: difficult Green placements, often over water; and tight layouts.

While the traps were in good shape, areas of the fairways were bare. I expected the course to be in better shape. Maybe not so much due to the winter temperatures. For a course of its stature, I hope there is a robust effort to repair and upgrade the grass this spring..If you like challenging greens even in winter conditions National"s got your back. Overall, a good day amd place to play.

Greens were inconsistent and couldn’t tell the fairway from the rough most of the time. Paid upwards of $70 for the round (included a burger/hotdog and range balls which was nice) but the course isn’t worth more than $35 to play.

The fairways were terrible. Dried out, eroded, etc. greens were decent. For $70 not worth the money!

Pipes were yet to be repaired after the bad freeze so no grill or rest rooms at the Houston National pavilion. Fortunately next door the Sterling Golf club’s facility was unaffected. I did miss an uphill 20 footer for a par on 18! which would’ve broken a 90 for me but no complaints on the greens which rolled true. The last couple of holes crisscross a creek and they are my favorite holes.

Not the courses fault but no grass. Hopefully when the weather gets better the course will get better. Front desk made it easy

I love this course and have played many times because during the week they have senior rate starting at age 55. However, on the weekend you can't play with senior rate and the rate is 70.00 and IMO that is way way way out of line. I know all courses are high now days and it won't be long before they price themselves out of the normal guy being able to afford to play golf. However, it did come with a drink and a burger after the round and the burger was outstanding.

This course is nice and offers a challenging, scenic course for your enjoyment. I don’t think this course is quite on the same level as Black Horse that is also in the area. If found to be same price black horse gets the nod, but if found to be around $50 I’ll take this course every time!

I really hope the course doesn’t take long to come back after the freeze. And it doesn’t take long for the repairs.

Hard to believe a week ago we were dealing with no water or power. Too bad the club house at the course was not spared but I must say I was pleased with the conditions of the course.

Only issue was the staff was rude at check in. Problem was I had booked a Hot Deal and the previous time using a Hot Deal at this course included a free lunch. So I asked about the lunch and was rudely told it only was for Hot Deal bookings. I replied that this booking was a Hot Deal so then the story changed that management didn’t delete the lunch offer. So I didn’t get a free lunch. Course conditions were good but pace of play was slow after the turn. I feel that the course either owes me a free lunch or a free round of play

Slowest course in Houston. Pin placements are in bad spots for fun and pace of play.

I have played this course many times. In the summer months the fairways and tee boxes and greens( in my opinion) are in great shape for the amount of play they receive. The winter months they get a little ruff but all courses get that way. The greens always run fast and are in good shape all year long. If I had a negative comment it is that the pin placements are not friendly to the average golfer. The PGA does not even put the stick on a slope on the green. I mean come on man. But overall the course set up is awesome and challenging. Love playing this course.
