Playing this course for the first time.

Little challenging not knowing the layout. So made it a slower pace for us. Not having a driving range or putting green to practice on made it more challenging not knowing how tge greens were running.

But overall we had an enjoyable game. I will definitely be coming back and will recommend this course to friends.

Great, beautiful layout

I hadn't played in a couple of years as the course is a 1 1/2 drive from my house. I was glad I made the trek back out there as the course is in terrific shape. I love the layout deep in the pine trees. Only a few holes have houses in site, but nothing close or distracting. Other have mentioned the no frills amenities. Tiny pro shop with a bottled soda and snacks. One small restroom there and a couple of Porta potties out on the course. The fairways and greens were terrific shape, but the bunkers need some attention as some have weeds growing in them. That's my only minor complaint. We played in 3 1/2 hours on a weekend. You can't beat that. I will certainly make it up there again this summer.

Grand Lakes GC Review

Course was not in good shape. Cart path only didn’t help with the experience. Sand Bunkers were not playable and contained rocks and pebbles.

Hidden gem!

This was our first time playing here. The course was amazing and a great challenge. The amenities could really use some restrooms and ball wash stations. We have decided we will be back again.

Unapologetic itself

As everyone stated, no range, I club house, no water on the course. It doesn’t hide these.

Drive was a bit winding, but have been wanting to play this course for a while. Played after the really bad storms and the course was expected to be wet and we were cart path only (no issues). It handles the rain well.

Loved the course layout, makes you play golf and not just swing the club. Greens were decent were two different kinds of grass, that impacted putting, but I’m not complaining. Apparently Gary player designed 7-13. Too many holes stand out to have a favorite, but fairways were interesting and rolling.

Would not walk, several long trips between certain holes. Was quiet on my day and no pace issues.

Will be back several times and will be part of my rotation.

Interesting Layout

Course has a unique layout that doesn’t return to the clubhouse and has several long walks / drives. It appears they changed locations for the clubhouse and this led to the liking distance between some

Holes.

I love the layout and the slightly rolling terrain. Greens were big, built up and fun to put on.

Put this one on your okay list if in the Houston area and you want a very reasonably priced good course.

After the Rains

The course was in good shape despite all the rain that we've had over the past couple weeks. Cart path only but that is expected. The pace of play was good. It took me right at 4 hours to get in 18 and that's with having to walk across the fairway many times. Only a couple of greens had some poa that affected the putting. But a great price for a good layout. It's starting to come around since I played it last summer.

Great open, rolling and challenging course.

I love to play golf at Grand Lake. Though it's located in a residential area. The golf course is cut out of nature. Open, no annoying city noises, just a golf course in the countryside. Quality bathrooms, anywhere you want to go. But I've never chosen a course to play by its bathrooms. I simply love me some Grand Lake.

Beautiful Course

The course maintenance personnel definitely have taken the time and effort to create such a beautiful course.

Improve the amenities (cart person, water availability on the course, an actual clubhouse) and provide easier access to the course (in a gated community with lack of a code/guard) for entry without feeling like you are trespassing (haha) and this place would be one of the best in Texas or even the country.

Need to get the course established in the GHIN system.

Keep up the great work Maintenance Team!!

Grand Lake is always the perfect challenge

Grand Lake is always the perfect challenge for the golf game. Open elevating and descending fairways with very testing greens. Just love me some Gary Player old school golf. Yea, I know there are no putting and practice tees, so all the more reason to come ready to play some golf.

Interesting Layout But Marshal Not Doing His Job

We had a group of 8 players in front of us and the marshal did nothing to break them up resulting in a five and a half hour round. Completely unacceptable especially at a course that offers no amenities.

Pace of play poor

This course could be a hidden gem, but the pace of play was interminable. While I very much appreciate the course being fairly well maintained at the sacrifice of NO amenities, having a marshall on the course moving slow golfers along would be an inexpensive fix. We were a foursome, but the 2 people ahead of us were taking at least 2-3 shots at every stop till they got on the green.
