The Golf Club at Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe

Their greens bounce not roll.

More weeds than grass.

I kept trying to enjoy golf here but so many needs for improvement. Cart paths unusable. Greens are crab grass. Greens are tiny as compared to most courses. To top it off my golf GPS watch does not recognize This course and had me playing the Walden course through 7 holes.

The course itself was taken care of. The greens were complete trash except for the two by the clubhouse. Greens were missing grass and/or full of weeds. When you’re putting from 5’ out and it’s bouncing off the ground from going over the weeds, it’s a problem. Several bunkers had 6” of water sitting in the bottom of them. I won’t book a tee time here again. Hard to believe until you see it first hand. Absolutely the worst greens I’ve ever played on.

I can see why so many people talked about the poor green conditions right now, but they mostly held shots and rolled true. I really enjoyed the layout, tough track, definitely a shot makers course. Definitely a fun course that I would come back and play again.

Disappointed with the club house. The snack bar/ food counter was absolutely barren. No chips, crackers or candy bars of any kind. The only food available was a turkey wrap, which was tasty but cost $16.26 Employee stated everything else was locked up and he didn’t have the key.

A little disappointing for a Margaritaville Resort.

GCMLR is getting better as time goes by. Always has been a challenging design and course conditions are improving rapidly. Fairways have filled in nicely this season and ALL traps were recently filled with brand new sand. Greens need a bit of improvement; wish the superintendent would bring in the Texas Golf Association (TXGA) to consult on the greens. This course could be hosting key state amateur tournaments with some focused work on the greens. Keep up the good work on a solid course!!

Greens and fringe around greens are sub par for a resort course.

Greens are in pretty bad shape. No course should have "Resort" in their name with greens like these. Also, fringe around greens was too high. Needed to be mowed.

Great course to play. Fairways are getting better over the years. Greens still need some work. Beautiful course overall, especially hole 15 which is the nicest.

Was more impressed last time I played Margaritaville Resort Golf Course. The greens are the main issue. The poa grass has taken over some of the greens, making them very uneven. Some of the greens have spotty coverage. The fairways were, for the most part, in good shape. The layout is challenging with lots of big trees, water, and sand.

The course is fun, but it is in very bad shape. Greens and bunkers were in terrible shape. I understand bunkers get washed out with all the rain we have had, but most were mud pits. That wasn’t done from a couple of storms. The greens had so many weeds/ grasses growing through them it was impossible to putt on. Where there weren’t weeds there was just nothing but sand. The tee boxes didn’t really seem like tees were moved often because there were a lot of divots in. Fairways seemed to be in decent condition but I didn’t spend much time on them!

This is a challenging course, but it is also rewarding for good shots. It has water and sand traps that influence your shot decisions. A couple of greens had some spots, but the majority were in great shape for this time of the season. If you hit in the rough, take some mosquito repellant, it will come in handy. We teed off early and finished shortly after 10AM. It was getting crowded when we left. There are a few areas of cart path that need to be redone.

I played this course before it was bought out by the "Margaritaville" brand. Went back hoping that the course would be in better shape than in years past. Sadly, it was much much worse... Greens are beyond recovery, water filled most of the bunkers (water that had obviously been there for some time) and the fairways were not well maintained. This is another one of those courses that has such great potential. Tight fairways, great layout, and good green complexes. I really wish the resort would spend some time, effort, and money into fixing the course up. Would not recommend spending hard earned money here.
