Going downhill

The course layout is decent, and the staff is great, all of them. The fairways and greens are getting really bad, to the point that it's almost not worth playing. It's a fairly cheap green fee, so I've overlooked the ball bouncing along the green when it hits the few patches of grass left.

What has gotten worse, and will probably keep me from going back, is the complete lack of course management. I NEVER see the Marshall on the course, and the pace is just ungodly slow. I'm used to having to skip a hole or two here, due to some couple in front of me taking 15 strokes per hole, but it's gotten considerably worse. This last time, it took 2 hours thirty minutes to get through the first 9,and on the 10th hole there was a line of EIGHT carts waiting to play. I saw groups of people driving carts on to the green, crossing fairways to sit and have conversations with other groups in the middle of the fairways etc, and no Marshall. Not once. It's not worth it when you take it all into account. Used to be a fun, inexpensive course to play, but I'd rather spend 120 or higher and go to a well managed club.

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about our staff.

We're sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet expectations. We are currently transitioning from our winter grass, and the significant amount of rainfall we've received has impacted our maintenance team's normal routines and course conditioning efforts.

We also understand your frustration regarding pace of play. Providing an enjoyable experience for all golfers is important to us, and we take concerns about course management seriously. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention and will continue working to improve both course conditions and the overall player experience.

Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you'll give us another opportunity to earn your business in the future.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration with the current course conditions.

We are currently transitioning from our winter grass, and the recent heavy rainfall has made it challenging for our maintenance team to perform their normal conditioning routines. While these conditions are temporary, we recognize they can impact the golfing experience.

Our team is working hard to improve conditions, and we appreciate your patience and honest feedback.

Not worth the money.

$75 for a Friday afternoon round is steep for the quality. First time playing, as our normal course just had greens aerated so looking for an alternative. We bailed after 9 holes, due to pace of play and poor conditions of the course. Greens are all scalped with large patches of dirt, so no true putting to be found. Fringe and fairways not much better. Shocked at the condition with all the rain Houston has gotten recently, as every other course in the area is in great condition. Plenty other options for that price. Layout fairly boring as well.

Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing the overall condition of the course.

We understand the greens are currently not at the standard our guests expect. The combination of our seasonal turf transition and recent weather conditions has created some challenges, but our agronomy team is actively working to improve playing conditions each day.

We appreciate your comments and look forward to providing a better experience on your next visit.

What happened to the greens?

I have played this course on several occasions and this is the worst condition I have ever seen the greens. Most of them have huge bare spots and what grass is there is in clumps so it is like putting on an obstacle course.

Thank you for your feedback. The greens are currently in transition from our winter grass to our summer turf, which can create temporary inconsistencies in playing conditions. During this process, some areas may appear thin or patchy as the winter grass dies out and the summer grass establishes itself.

We understand this can affect the quality of your putting experience and appreciate your patience while the greens recover. This transition is a necessary part of maintaining healthy playing surfaces throughout the year, and we expect conditions to continue improving as the summer grass fully matures.

Thank you for playing with us, and we hope you'll return later in the season to experience the course at its best.

Very good for the price

I was impressed with the cost of this round and how the course played. The greens were a little rough, but I can't expect $200 greens for the price I paid. Overall I really enjoyed the course and I would be happy to play it again. The water hazards were really good and created some nice challenges.

Great round in Conroe

Played a round with my son. They let us start thirty minutes early and everything continued to just get better as the day rolled on. Region has had a lot of rain recently, so the greens were a bit washed out and bumpy, but everything else was great including the sand traps and no mud or swamped fairways to deal with. Beverage carts came by three times, perfectly paced. Course's hardscape (cart-paths) could use some maintenance.

Course Review

My Wife, Grandson, and myself enjoyed a round of golf on Sunday. Pace of play for us was 4 hours 15 minutes. Course was in good condition, fairways had good roll with quality grass, greens a little slow but play true.

This course was in better condition for the money tham any course in 30 miles radius.

I will be back.

Pleasantly surprised.

I was pleasantly surprised with this course. I admit my expectations were low; however, the round far exceeded that low bar. For example, for me to enjoy a round of golf, the greens speeds must be consistent from one to the next. Of course, I prefer faster greens, but I will take consistent slow greens over inconsistent fast ones. The greens here were notably consistent, including the practice green. Kudos to the course superintendent.

Great Value

Course was in great shape. Considerably better than the last time I played here. Only downer was the pace of play because of the two groups in front of us having an outing. Taking pictures on every hole and slowing everyone down. Other than that, really enjoyed the day. Will be back for sure.

Worth Extra Drive

After complaining at Edwin Watts about clover and postage stamp greens at other courses, I made the drive to Margaritaville and was pleased that I did. Greens are professionally maintained, not too much water or sand traps. Pace of play was appropriately quick.
