Gus Wortham Park Golf Course

Gus Wortham provides golfer with a mini hill country
experience, a lot of holes on the back nine actually
have some elevation change, whether uphill or downhill. This is a nice change of pace, if used to flat courses in the city. The fairways were in rough shape, greens rolled true & in good shape. I've played here probably 30 times, if looking for a different experience of Houston golf, try the original Houston Country Club...Gus Wortham.

When we arrived at the golf course, we found the course was closed on the day of our tee time. Big waste of time and money on golf now!!!!

course was a nice mature golf club open since 1920s I think.

It is hard to imagine that some of the holes on this golf course are in Houston. Great tee-green elevation changes!!, wonderful old trees, water and views make this course a really good value. The greens are older-style grass, but roll true. A fine relic donated to the public trust --it's the old Houston Country Club course. Have fun.

Good old golf course to go hack around on. not too expensive so makes the day fun. some great holes. odd lay out (3 par 5's in a row).

Always enjoy and is always maintained. The cafe is closed at this location.

Booked a hot deal for 10 bucks. Course honored it with no problems. The course presently is in good shape. This is a decentchallanging course. One hole has been cut short due to a rebuilding of a bridge. Friendly staff with huge greens. I have always liked playing this course. Very open lately but I do play during the week. :-P

I played this course with a buddy during a weekday at 1 pm. The course was pretty empty which is great since we are both beginners. There is a decent variety of shots and some challenging par 4s. Par 5s are pretty straight forward; long, open and straight. Par 3s are fun with one going over a pond. One par 3 is just a little over 200 yards too. Many holes have thick woods on at least one side and reward you for your shot in the fairway. There is some decent elevation change and hole 18 has a big downhill drove for a par 4 over a creek that finishes uphill to the green. The cart paths are asphalt which isn't bad considering the low price for greens fees. Some parts of the course could use a little attention but overall a fun courseand great for the price so close to downtown.

I had an excellent round with a good friend. We had a great time with a challenging course for a couple of hackers.

It would've been nice for little heads up about the liquor license...
And the food situation... they have no cafeteria they only have vending machines withs snacks... So we just finished up nine holes and left...

Staff is courteous, genuine, and friendly. There is a lot of new fluffy sand going into the sandtraps; pleasant surprisedfor a muni.
Gus Wortham is a little forgiving, but has a few challenges in the depth changes on about 4 holes. Fairways are green and firm. Greens are slow and slightly bumpy. Really no blind shots; #1 doglegs left. Good course to relax and play.

The course needs a lot of attention! Poor greens, brown fairways, no change from short grass to rough.

Course needs some conditioning. Good course for the money
needs to improve on speed of play.

There was one lady that worked there hiding in a blind spot on hole 16, a par 3 that jumped on my soon about not announcing his slice in her direction. Tee boxes too close to the greens on too many of their preceding holes. Outside of that we enjoyed our round and the rest of the people that worked and played there. Cart paths need attention. We will return.

Elevated greens, and wide open, greens not good , three were ok.
23 on a holiday was good

Staff was very friendly! Was hoping to stop and get a hot dog after the front nine. Wish it served food.
One of the creeks was full of trash (mostly cans and bottles) :(((
other that the above mentions I loved it! I will play here again

This hidden gem just off 45 south is great value for money. Especially weekday twilights rates, and if you want a course not too crowded to work on your game or just play through fast, this will keep you happy. The course layout is varied with water coming into play on a handful of holes and not too much elevation for a beginner/middle skill level golfer. Some greens can be a little rough to play on, but nothing I haven't encountered on more expensive courses.
Bonus info: It's the oldest 18 hole golf course in Texas and it featured an exhibition match with Vardon/Ouimet back in the day.

Only problem I had was when I booked online, it said $60 due upon checkin. When I got there my guest and I were charged $34 a piece which came out to $68. We were overcharged $4 a piece.

i was playing solo...behind a 2 4somes and 1 5some and no one would let me play though...i went in to the pro shop to get some help...but i got no help from them so i went home...i don't think i will be going back there anytime soon.

Easy short course. Needs attention as fairways are in poor shape. Greens are bumpy and dry.
