Houston National Golf Club

It’s the first time I used Golfnow and it was a seamless process! When I arrived the pro shop found my reservation immediately and had me on my way in no time.i teed off at the exact time that I booked and completed my round in 3 1/2 hours! The tee boxes and greens were in excellent condition. The fairways could use some maintenance but it is winter time.....

It was a great way to spend a winter’s day!!!!

Enjoyed the course and the greens are like greased lightning but it is a little over-priced compared to other courses in the area

The course was in good winter shape, and the greens were fast and true. Pin placements made it challenging and finished in 3 1/4 hours

I like the layout of the course. The fairways are bare and tight this time of year. Sand in the bunkers was hard., but the greens were in great shape!!!

This is an urban residential layout with sometimes long distances between greens and the next tee. Houses almost always on at least one side of the fairway. Layout is wide, generous, an on most holes the fairways are edged with mounds which are extremely helpful provided shots are not too errant. The layout is always interesting. Much of the fairway grass is dormant - ie brown at present (Jan 06). The greens however are in very good condition but lightning fast - it really makes you appreciate how good the pros are! An enjoyable outing at a bargain price through Golf-Now

Played the public course today. The whole course was in very poor condition, close to unplayable. Waste of money and time. Will never play there again.

Greens were great. Soft, shots checked up and putted true. The rest of the course was a nightmare. No grass anywhere. The fairways were barren, rock hard with absolutely no grass. It was like hitting off pavement. Same for the rough. Perhaps throw a little water on them once in a while. There was no advantage to hitting a fairway, most of the time you ended up in a hole. Greenskeepers obviously gave up on the course a long time ago. Will not return to this course anytime soon.

Greens were very fast, surprising with recent rain. Bunkers were solid, not playable. Overall course in good shape for late December

Course in great shape. Fairways running hard and fast. Last 3 holes are excellent finishing holes. So many good golf holes. Good golf fun.

Man, I played Houston National 3 years ago and it was so much nicer back then. Trash everywhere, cigarette butts everywhere, carts were filthy and the course was in horrible shape for the price. Seriously I have played poorly managed municipal course better that this. Greens were fine but for the money there are MANY other courses in the area. Not sure I will play there again.

If a manager is reading this here are a couple suggestions:

1. Have your staff pick up trash as they are in the course of their jobs.

2. Multiple pros and asst pros (too many) and not enough cart girls or people maintaining the course.

This course could be amazing.

This course offers plenty of open fairways to hit, if you get off to the side though there’s lots of moguls. The greens are in good shape the fairways could use some maintenance and over seeding but overall it’s in good shape.

The price point for this corse should be more in the $25 range based on the overall conditions. The fact "National" is in the name does not add value to the experience.

The layout was challenging but a links style course should have grass in the fairways. The fairways had more sand than some of the bunkers. I don't think the irrigation system was broken because the greens were nicest part of the course!

We spent over $100 for our group to play here - we could have played much better conditioned courses for the same price elsewhere!

My daughter and I like playing golf together maybe once a month sometimes more if we get the chance. We went yesterday and really enjoyed ourselves. The people that work there are super friendly and went out of there way to make our day enjoyable. The green fees were about $75 for us to play it included a hotdog and a beer/soft drink. The guy working in the restaurant was very nice and went out of his way to make sure everything was good. The only negative I would say is around hole 10 is there is a split between the course and the private course which are both hole 10. Maybe a sign or have someone there to make sure golfers don’t venture onto the wrong course. This was not a total big deal. We would definitely go again

Played on Nov 1. When I went in to pay I used my debit card and their system said “denied”. I then looked on my bank app and it showed the charge going through. The system at H National said no. I said no big deal and gave them cash. I saved the receipt and was going to follow up. As usual, I forgot. Today I got a call from the course saying I had been double charged and they would refund to my debit card. In today’s world this simply doesn’t happen enough.

Well played HOUSTON NATIONAL, well played...

We invited a guess from Oklahoma to play with us and it was great! The greens are in great shape! Some bunkers has water but I am glad we did not have to play there.

First time at Houston National. Fun and challenging.

They load the course and NEVER have marshals on course keeping pace of play going. There were 4, count them 4, groups on the par 5 6th. Beautiful day but my brother and I left after a 2 and half hour front 9. Mentioned it to staff in pro shop. They couldn’t have cared less. Awful experience. And the shape of the course is getting worse and worse.

It took 2.5 hours to play 9 holes. We quit after 9. Their effort to pack the course made a beautiful day a real bad experience
