Always Slow

I have played at this course multiple times and I have always had a terrible experience with pace of play. This time it was due to a group that was allowed to play with 6 people. UNSAT. They were slow and they did not let people go through. The fact that the course does not have amenities (none) and does not staff a marshal to ensure pace of play, I would not recommend spending the time and money to play at this course. Do better.

Great looking course!

Great Lakes exceeded our expectation, especially when compared to other public courses in the area.

Very hilly fairways, but the challenge was apt.

Sadly, facilities are lacking (porta-potties on 6 and 17), but the staff was friendly and the greens were in excellent shape.

So quiet out there, too. Definitely need a cart, though, as some of the holes are quite a distance from one another. Cart paths are all concrete all the way.

Great Layout

Course offers a wide variety of holes and terrain changes, which is uncommon for Houston. Some long par 4's and short ones mixed in. Greens break way more than first appearance. My gripe is there are no yardage markers on the course, no sprinkler heads, nothing marked on the cart paths and nothing in the fairways! Everything is an educated guess. Spend $100 on some paint and at least mark the cart paths at 250, 200, 150 and a 100

Favorite Place to Play

The pace of play is a bit slow lately, but I love playing at grand lakes. Very few houses on the course, grass is easy to read, greens are great for the price, and the price is always great. I love the peace and quite I get there.

Weird

No clubhouse, very crowded, they ran out of carts, teed off 20 minutes past tee time. People were very friendly. The course is not in great shape. The greens are very small. Lots of bumbs and ravines. Tee boxes in disrepair. Parking lot was gravel in some areas, grass in others, and it was overcrowded. Despite all that, it seems to be very popular.

Amazing course

The course was in amazing condition. It is a long course, but the layout is awesome. Only one problem there is no driving range or practice greens. If that does not bother you and you live close get the membership.
