Gary Player would Approve

Grand Lakes is a Gary Player designed course . It’s definitely not cookie cutter . Every hole has different challenges . 5 years ago the course needed lots of work . Today it’s a completely different course . Almost every hole is tree lined . . Every week they are making improvements . The Fairways have gotten much better since all of the waste areas have been removed in the last few years .My favorite improvement is that the greens are comparable to The Woodlands greens where I live . Bunkers are plentiful and are being improved also . It’s always been important to me that Customers service is a priority and at Grand Lakes it is . Since there is no Clubhouse they allow golfers to bring their own coolers . It’s nice always having whatever snacks or drinks I want to bring . So if you want to find a reasonably priced course that will challenge your game give Grand Lakes a try . Will Mattern ⛳️😀

Course Conditions Great

This has to be the most improved course in the area. Greens are excellent, fairways good. Traps are not bad. The superintendent has done a great job of getting this place in good shape.

Great track. Lacks amenities. Great value.

Scenic links course. Great layout. Course in rough shape in August despite plenty of rain. Tee boxes and greens need a little work. Friendly staff. No snacks on course and water etc only avail before you tee off. Nothing at the turn. But in terms of interesting course and pace of play - really good.

The course did not have me in their reservation system despite booking on Golf Now (with confirmation email and number in hand). But they got us right on anyway.

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.

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.
