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.

Greens are fast!
The fairways are in need of water, they did just slit the fairways so they should be getting better soon. The greens are mostly in great shape. They are running fast! Blew the first couple of putts right by just.needed to adjust the speed.
1st time play
Course administered COVID19 protocols well. Played alone well spaced from other groups though 2 played me through even though I wasn't in any hurry to get home. Course is challenging to hit to decent fairway lies and there are few bailout areas around the steep sided and water/trap guarded greens. Generally as tight a housing development course as I have seen. Some patches of fairways and many bunkers were bare and neglected. The greens were in nice shape and putted true.

GREAT DAY OF GOLF
The course needs to implement more stringent Covid-19 restrictions: Players should not be allowed in Pro Shop...putting staff at risk; Course should not allow double cart ridership, unless requested by players; No evidence that cart had been sanitized.
I play this course about once a year. It is a great layout with many, many challenges. The fairways are in pretty good condition. Greens are in very good condition.
I got teamed up with 2 great local guys and had a blast.
There was an extremely slow foursome in front of us and despite calling pro shop, no marshall came out to move them along...only bad part of the day.
The 17th & 18th are 2 of the toughest closing holes in golf.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Houston National Golf Club thanks you!

All in all, Id probably come back again
Was it the greatest course? No. Would I recommend it to people? Sure, if they just wanted to go have a little fun at a decent course. The public course was substantially less kept than the private course, it was obvious just by driving by.

Enjoyed the modest test and it rewards you if you hit the fairways. Greens are quick and require you to make the right read. Can't wait to play agajn.

Tuff for hackers
Great tuff layout. Bad hackers need not apply; Good to average hackers better work hard to break 100. Drought has played havoc to fairways. Greens are ok. Enjoyed it - from average hacker.

It’s dry
The greens are in good shape, however many of the fairways are very dry. Lots of bare spots. Seems like they need to do some watering to get the course in shape.

Houston national
Greens held and rolled well but outside of that the course could use some TLC. Fairways need lots of whater. They were hard and very little grass.

First Time's A Charm
Found a great deal on Golf Now so I decided to play Houston National. Teamed-up with a twosome and played a very good round. The course layout is outstanding and there are a variety of tee options. The white tees played about 6300 yds. The course is still under winter conditions and so there were damaged areas here and there. The greens were in pretty good shape and as fast as any I regularly play. Because of recent rains some of the traps were packed-down but not all. Overall, I enjoyed playing here and was very satisfied. When Spring arrives the course should be in better condition.

Greens in good condition but the fairways urgently need the grass to come out of its dormant state and start growing!

Greens Good, rest is Ok
The greens were in good shape, however, the rest of the course was just OK...Not bad but not good...4:50 round, so fair for a Saturday public course round..Round came with a free meal and drink, plus all u can play golf...All said it is worth the price of $65 for weekend

Thank you
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Houston National Golf Club.
I like the layout of course. Maybe due to time of year reason for patchy fairways. Challenging course will try in the summertime see if its different.
