Creek/Bunkers at Northgate Country Club
About
The golf is the centerpiece of a small, upscale housing community, Northgate is crammed into an area of land that's dominated by huge trees. Labeled a shot-maker's course because of the super-tight fairways and small, testy greens, the course offers 27 holes of golf that many consider some of the toughest in Houston.
The Bunkers Course is named appropriately, featuring loads of sand in the design. They say No. 1 is the toughest opener in Texas, playing 417 yards with two extremely dangerous shots. The tee shot must be perfectly placed and the approach must carry 200 yards over water.
The Creek Course is narrow and loaded with water. The best hole is No. 8, a 200-yard-plus par 3 from an elevated tee box. A creek looms right, and the green features a ridge in the middle and bunkers on either side.
Getting there : From I-45 north, exit 1960 and turn left. When you come to Northgate Forest Dr., turn right and the course will be on the right side of the road.

Fun Course
Greens are fast, but ball sticks on approach. Fairways are lush, ball sits up. Plenty of water hazards to get you in trouble. Staff makes you feel welcome.
Management is Poor
Northgate Country Club and Daniel McIntyre hired my company to perform services on their property last year after Hurricane Harvey. When we were hired we were told we needed to complete the job as quickly as possible because the Club had a full schedule of weddings and member events for the fall. To help Northgate and its members and clients keep an uninterrupted event schedule, we rushed all of our available employees and equipment to the site at their request. We serviced all of their buildings and made them clean and safe for all of the events they held that season as they requested. Neither Mr. McIntyre or the Club management complained or let us know they were dissatisfied with the services we provided. After the work was completed, Mr. McIntyre signed a job completion form that stated the work was done to his satisfaction. However, nearly a year after Harvey, we still have not received any payment for the work we performed. The Club has had many events in the spaces we worked on, but has continued to refuse to pay us even $1 for the work we performed at their behest, to make sure their clients were able to have the kind of events they deserve.
