Surprised

Expected to play a late afternoon leisurely round on a course that I haven't seen in 30 years. I get there and nine holes are closed due to an event. (car show) I'm resigned to just the ;the back nine and I'm pretty much in the way as a single. Had I known I would have played some where else. The Pro had said Golfnow should have told me. Course was nice. People were nice. Would have been nice to know.

Great course for the money!

This course is in exceptional shape considering you can frequently get a weekend tee time for around $40. Well worth the drive!

This course is in great condition

For an open to the public course the fairways are in fantastic shape and the greens roll nicely. Well worth the money to play this course.

It's a steal if you're willing to drive

Got a Saturday afternoon tee time here for ridiculously cheap, and drove to la torretta with low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I arrived. Course was in phenomenal shape, and aside from a high school tourney that had just finished when I showed up, the course was empty. Tight, tree lined fairways, water all around and tough bunkers make for a tough challenge. However, if your drive is in the fairway, this is a course you can score on. I really enjoyed it.

My only complaint is the drive which, obviously, there isnt anything they can do to fix. Well over an hour from the heart of Houston. Quite a trek. Although getting way outside the city allows you to find great courses like this.

Highly recommended

nice course.

this course has a little bit of everything. open fairways, sloping tree lined holes, water trouble, up hill, downhill, you name it. i really liked it. i will play again for sure. Holes that stood out for me were the 3rd, plenty of trouble. 14th, need a nice long drive, or you will be laying up, on a par 4!
Greens were in good condition
only Con: driving range is rather small, but i guess that should help you tune in you shots.

an ok resort type course

Played on a cold day in February. The course is a typical resort type course, tree lined fairways (mostly) with a bit of water. OK if you like this sort of course but having played it I would struggle to remember any particular hole. Having said that there wasn't anything to say that would put you off.

Very Good Course

The condition of the course is excellent. One of the better kept courses in the Houston/Conroe area. I consider playing at LaTorretta a "treat" and look forward to playing there. Keep up the good maintenance work. The golf course shows that the grounds crew are doing an excellent job and management is supporting them with the necessary funds.

Very nice course all things considered. Fairway grass was dead, but greens and tee boxes were in great shape. We are staying here for a wedding in June and we wanted to play the course once beforehand......Very excited that we will be back in a few months and get to play it when the grass will be green. Should be another great time.

Fun Day

I played the course with 3 friends . Friendly staff said we could start any time we wanted since they were not busy. Greens and fairways were in great shape. I wish this course was a little closer to my home because I definitely would play it again.

koudos to grounds staff

Very nicely kept. Lost many balls related to dropped leaves (blame mother nature). Great course for the novice like myself. Many water features but not intimidating. Will definately return.
