Well worth the money and the drive

It combines the new with the old......the tight with the open......the easy with the difficult......and the more difficult with the "dadgommit, who put that tree there!". For the money, I think this is the best value for SW Texas. The T-boxes are in great shape, the fairways are firm, and for as much play as it gets - the greens are in great shape and roll true. It's a challenging course. Most of the water leaves you alone. If you play in the fairway, it tests your shot making.....if you play out of the pines, it can make for a very difficult day (but that's golf). Seriously tho, only a few holes allow for scramble to GIR so each shot need to be thought out. The staff is tremendously friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere of the pro shop and grille is not snobby and suffocating. The amenities are rather impressive with what all is available. If there is one negative........with the age of this course, how this course is set up, and it's natural tree line - this is not (in my opinion) a beginners course. However - this is a great place to escape the craziness of Houston.

Great course

LaTorretta is a great course, somewhat challenging with tight fairways. Some trees should be trimmed off some fairways. Greens in good shape. Overall value is excellent.

Dhigh

Our cart ran out of gas. Brought another one out to us in a timely manner. No biggie, not upset about it, things happen. But could have at least received and apology. Employee checking us in not overly friendly or very informative knowing this was our first time there. Lady at concession stand was very personable and kind. Great course, great fun, just need a like work on customer service.

Incredibly great conditions considering the drought

This is the best I have seen this course - ever! No mosquitoes and lush greens. Fairways also soft and green. Great job to the greenskeeper and staff.

Unable to play, but...

We were unable to play due to the weather. The Houston area was getting a lot of rain July 4th so at 11:30 I called the course to see if they planned to be open in the afternoon. John from the pro shop told me that based on the rain and forecast the course would probably close but I could call back in a couple hours to be sure.

Then, for the first time ever in the 45 years I have played golf, I received a call from the course at 1:30 to let me know they were indeed going to close for the rest of the day.

Just the consideration he showed in calling me tells me everything I need to know about this course and their management.

I’ve played the course before so I know it’s a great course, I’ve interacted with some of the staff so I knew how great they were, but to take the time to call a customer like that just goes above and beyond.

Thank you very much, I’ll see you this afternoon (have a 3pm tee time for today also).

Very Fun Course, Worth the Drive

The course was in very good shape. About an hour north of Houston, but is well worth the drive. Course is secluded in the La Torretta Resort right next to Lake Conroe. Will be back to play again soon!

La Torreta/Ol' Del Lago

Great course layout with challenging holes for the scratch golfer from the back tees! Pro was awesome and friendly, bar waitress very friendly, and locker rooms were nice! Greens were starting to get into nice shape after punching and sanding. Overall great value for your money! Also, this is the site for the boys and girls 5A Regional Golf tournament! You will not be disappointed!!

Great layout and condition

I played this course with my wife and her father on Memorial day morning and it was fantastic. Great layouts despite the lack of hills. The entire course was in great shape. All the staff and other golfers were in good moods and very nice. If you are in the area I think it is a great value for the $50 green fee we each paid.

Outstanding!

The layout is challenging, with tight fairways, greens protected by bunkers, and some water. Greens rolled true, and were in great condition...very impressed with this course, and with the hot deal from GolfNow a great value! Highly recommend...staff was great as well. Let me go off solo, played 18 in 2 1/2 hours. Will be back soon!
