About
Sculpted by Greg Norman out of the tall grassland prairies and rice fields west of Houston, Meadowbrook Farms is part of a planned 800-acre residential development headed by Landmark National. Norman's layout includes deep-faced sod bunkers, Lil Prong Creek, and a multitude of oaks, pecans, and sycamores that take the golfer toward greens that are extremely hard.
The lack of parallel holes allows for an open, natural setting that is perfect for golf, especially since Norman didn't favor much reshaping-instead, he used the natural topography of the former rice farm.
Holes of note on the front are the 160-yard No. 6 and the 420-yard No. 9, both accented by the tall native grasses. No. 9 involves wetlands in front of the green, which is tough considering the longish approach.
Several holes on the back can destroy your round, including the narrow, doglegging 395-yard No. 10. It's imperative to find the fairway on this one. And No. 15 is short (340 yards), but is loaded with bunkers that are difficult for the high-handicapped hack.
The best hole of the bunch is perhaps No. 18, a 545-yarder that involves a layup of a canal off the tee and two solid shots to reach the green in regulation.
All told, this one is worth the investment. The bag drop service is friendly and prompt, and the clubhouse offers affordable amenities, including a great little bar and grill.
Getting there : From Downtown Houston on I-10, drive west to Grand Parkway (Hwy. 99). Take Grand Parkway south to Fry Rd., then turn right. Take Fry Rd. west for approximately 1.3 miles, and the entrance is on the left.

Course condition was good, beautiful view.
First time playing here, good experience. Open view, fairway and green were in great condition. Bathrooms are available in the middle. Somewhat challenged but fun. Got my best score there since starting playing golf. Also got a Birdie and a few Pars on that day. Wish a GPS was provided with the cart, and pace would be faster with enforcement.
Shouldn’t have been open
Appreciating there had been severe overnight rain and over the previous few days which affected the course condition, the reality is that the course should not have been open for play. There were so many standing water features, causing unnecessary lost balls, and greens had not been cut or rolled (understandably given the rainfall). Personally don’t think the course should have been open and certainly not at the price paid. Highly doubt I will ever return there
Value
For a lot of courses pricing does not equate to value and this is no exception. Fairways were decent but greens were not good for this time of year. It appears the process of overseeding has taken place.
Excellent
Excellent course to play at, can't say anything bad about it.
Will golf here again.
Good course
Excellent layout. Good fairways and greens. Good bunkers. Good views.
Great track, needs work
MBF is a great layout.
Driving range is good.
Staff are super friendly.
Course needs work. It just looks a little scruffy round the edges and the greens need some work too. Patchy, woolly and a little slow.
Decent value at $75. Would be disappointed paying $115 at the weekend.
Enjoyable Layout
I was glad to be disappointed by the negative reviews. This was a lovely course, friendly staff, above average greens and fairways. And for my daughter, the forward tees were decently placed for a balanced advantage. We really enjoyed the round and will return.
Perfect day to play
Teed off on time. Never had to wait for group in front, pace of play was perfect. Marshal even came by and asked if we had enough water which I had never experienced in all my rounds of golf anywhere. Overall fantastic day of golf.
Poor course conditions
Greens infected by weeds. Most tee boxes covered by weeds. Areas around the greens poor. Fairways descent. Sand bunkers excellent. Weed patches in areas all around the course; more of a trap than a strategic area. I was not impressed.
Gorgeous course with some challenging holes
Meadowbrook might be the best course in the Katy area. My only complaints are that people do not rake the sand traps or fix their divets. Not the course's fault but a marshall might help with these minor issues. Overall, the layout keeps things interesting and the course is well manicured. Great value for the money.
