Better late than never
I was held up by construction and arrived late for my tee time. No problem, they readily accommodated me, gave me the ok to tee off after the next group. The course was in great shape…I putted so well on the smooth greens. It’s also great to have ice readily available in the clubhouse…even fresh popcorn which is a great way to stay hydrated. Fun shing holes into the wind…always a challenge.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u8860059. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Houston National Golf Club thanks you!

Bad Conditions
I first played here about 9 months ago and the fairways, tee boxes, and around the greens had tons of bad spots and patchy grass. I thought to myself “this is awful what the freeze has done to this nice course”. I gave it 9 months and came back…. It’s probably worse now then it was then. The greens are uneven and slow, the fairways are very much beat up. If you don’t hit the green you might as well just fluff your lie because it’s for sure going to be in junk. Played the bunkers as ground under repair because they were more rock than sand. This is officially on the “do not play” list. You could tell me the twilight rate was the prime Sunday morning rate and I’d still go elsewhere.
Fun course, but bunkers need work
We had a blast playing Houston National on April 29, 2022. The course is fun, fair and challenging from start to finish. My only complaint is the current condition of the bunkers. Some of the bunkers are unplayable. It wouldn’t take a lot of work to fix and maintain the traps. It does take some work, though. All in all, the experience at Houston National is positive.

terry.s view
the fairways were dry, since there has been little rain lately, there were patches of dirt in some areas.
the greens had been plugged and sanded, which took away some of the enjoyment of the round. they were slow and bumpy.
the layout is still very challenging.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, tercro69. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Houston National Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Character
Houston National is a wonderful course! All the holes are fair, and the fairways are wide and (for the most part) forgiving.
Greens were punched yesterday, but they were fair too! Very smooth and not the bit bumpy. They were however slow. (I never really got used to the slowness and three putted 6 times.
But most of all the course’s layout has fantastic ‘character’ and is a joy to play!
Hi, Greg7847013. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Houston National Golf Club.
Ok at best
Great layout
Fairways are fair
Greens are bumpy with too much weed/bluegrass
Traps are not good
Hello, austex123. Thank you for visiting us at Houston National Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Awful
This course is worth 40$ max right now worst course conditions I have ever seen for a 80$ round

Over Priced and Poor Condition
They layout is great with many different and challenging holes. The groundskeeping is very poor with cart damage right up to the edges of some greens. Because of this there are many bad, dirt lies right next to the greens. The greens are overgrown and very bumpy. Get some rope out and keep the traffic away from greens and direct the cart traffic!

Close to home.
Even on a GolfNow deal it’s overpriced. Could be soo much better with better course maintenance. Greens bad with weeds etc, bunkers bad, fairways hard af. Pay little extra and wait for a Blackhorse South deal. 100 percent better value!

Course is in bad shape
The greens had little weeds all over them. You couldn't hit a straight putt to save your life. This course needs major recondition to be charging what they are charging. There was literally no one on the course and now I know why.

Very enjoyable
Other than the greens being rough from little sprigs of grass or weeds (not sure which) the course was in very good condition.. I will play here again. It is a tougher course than I'm used too as the fairways were narrow but it will just help improve my game.
Staff was quite friendly and did a great job.

Average course with room for improvement
They had just plugged greens on 3/30/22 and we played next day but they failed to inform us of this or provide a discount, which is customary. Overall, course is a bit hit or miss with a lot of brown and dead areas in fairways but I’ve almost come to expect that at most public courses in Houston. Sand traps were unplayable and had standing water in all. It had just rained the day before but I saw no attempt to try and drain them or even keep in playable condition.
There was a terribly slow group of 4 in front of us with no Marshall to police their pace. What should have been a 4 hour round on a Thursday took nearly 4:30 or 4:40.
But, it was a beautiful day and hard to get too bummed about being away from work. And they still offered the burger and chips after the round, included with your green fee, so that helps save the value proposition a bit. The adjacent members course looks it great shape - just wish they took a 1/4 of that time to invest on the primary course.
