Houston National Golf Club

Well maintained course. Pace of play a bit slow, but that's on the golfers. What I didn't care for was the unfriendliness of the staff. The clubhouse staff was just "present", the starter was hostile...not a smile to be found, not a thank you for coming to be heard.

The staff in the pro shop are the worst ever. Just because I used a Hot Deal, he made me feel like I was stealing from him personally and the Course. If the staff don’t want to honor the hot deal price. they shouldn’t offer it.

Fairway’s has lots of weeds in it and the golf cart died in the tunnel after the 18th hole. So, we had to take our bags and walk back.

Course was in rough shape all around. Bare patches, native grasses and weeds all around. Miss a fairway and don’t plan a recovery shot. Not worth the $89 I paid.

I'm not sure why they've completely neglected this course but charging almost 100 is price gouging to say the least. There's soo many other options in the area that actually mow grass and rake their bunkers.

I've complained about the bunkers being unplayable for months and not 1 bunker in all 18 holes is playable which absolutely disgusts me. They look like the course has been closed for over a year with weeds actually growing in the bunkers, I mean absolute neglect. But to be overcharged was the icing on the cake and why I'm compelled for a next day review. The only saving grace, the greens roll good, not great. You would not have 1 member on your private course and I'm more than sure they have sand in bunkers and raked daily which is normal. Our group lost or had a very hard time finding balls in play, just off the fairway. The grass in some areas that are bone dry hasn't been mowed in months. The rough probably hasn't been mowed in several weeks and the crab grass is everywhere because of the neglect, just collecting money.

The Houston national side is a disgrace and someone needs to be removed. I'll stop by to practice as range and practice area is good. I'm sorry but someone needs to be fired

I'm new to golf but have played a few courses now and this was by far the most challenging yet. Rolling hills, tricky greens, gaps and rivers galore. I probably lost 10 balls while I was there. 1-2 is normal for me.

The only weird thing that I noticed was that one of the bunkers was just a concrete bowl, but it could have just been under maintenance.

HN has been one of my favorite local courses, but when Cypress Creek closed they almost doubled their prices. For that, we get really nice new carts with GPS, however they are restricted and we can no longer take them to the car to load/unload. What we didn't get were halfway decent fairways (full of weeds) and playable sand traps (full of water and murk). Per usual the greens are 1st class. So for the time being I'm taking HN off my rotation,

The course was fantastic staff is friendly and wasn’t too busy. Perfect almost all the way through. The one thing I think would make it 10x better is if the fairway was cleaned up regarding weeds in some locations. It wasn’t terrible but it could have been a little better in some spots and the bunkers need to be redone it’s hard as a rock in there right now but that could be due to the recent rains.

Other than that it was fantastic. Small things would make it a GREAT course for the value

sand traps were unplayable.

grass cuttings too thick to locate golf ball.

Start off by saying staff is super nice and very accommodating. Helpful at every turn, even at the end of the round when getting the burger, chips and drink. Bar staff was great.

Now the bad. The fairway was in rough shape lots of holes. Weeds grass missing and just not in great shape. Makes you wonder if the private course is in better shape??? Then bunkers are 90 percent all about compacted and need some good TLC. Some of the areas in the course are pretty rough.

Finally the greens are great as well as the tee box. No fungus or rough shape ones all pretty good. I just think with a little investment in the fairways the course would be excellent.

In recent weeks the price to play has more than doubled. With the new carts, this can be expected. Unfortunately the restrictions to mobility and cart malfunctions make it difficult to justify the cost. The functionality of the cart was sketchy throughout the round. At the end of the round, the cart got stuck in the tuneI beneath Queenston Blvd. We had to pack up and walk back to the clubhouse. In addition, the crab grass around the greens is out of hand and the traps need sand. It’s currently not the place to work on your short game.

Best value in Houston. Greens were rolling great and the layout is always a challenger. Fairways need some tending but that’s just a small fix compared to the positives this course has.

$100 got you a round on rough fairways, bumpy greens and sandy tee boxes. But they threw in a burger and draft beer so hey I guess it was worth it.

I'll start by saying (I think) the price has gone up here. Not uncommon these days but I'll also give credit to Houston National for having a fleet of brand new carts with GPS and some better grass in the fairways. In the past there have been plenty of noticable dead/dirt spots in the fairway and while they're not completely gone, it definitely seemed better this time around. It's a unique course for Houston that I enjoy playing and their lunch/drink deal which is included with the green fee remains a great perk.
