La Torretta Lake Resort and Spa

The day we went to play as also that of the local Triathlon so had to play the front nine twice.
The locals had stayed away so it was very quiet on the course. The course is in great condition even coming into the autumn. I played the middle tee which adds some distance to most holes. It’s a challenging course and you have to play for position.
The greens rolled well but some of the flag positions made it interesting. The tee boxes and the bunkers were in great shape something I find many courses neglect. The ball would settle down in the short but challenging ruff.
Going back to play the full 18 today although it’s an hour’s drive we enjoyed it that much.

Great Course

There aren't many negative things to say about La Torretta and our experience out there was great. The course is pine tree lined throughout so make sure to put your golf ball on autopilot or you'll have a long day. The greens are very large, but if you miss on the wrong side you'll have trouble getting up and down. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens were in great shape. One thing I loved was the quality of the bunkers. Other courses in the area do not pay enough attention to bunkers and a little TLC here made a big difference.

A few things that could be done better include more water on the course as we did not see a beverage cart during our Friday afternoon round and fully netting the driving range to add protection on 10 and the par 3 directly behind the range.

Great Price - Course

We were able to play at "our normal pace -- fast" on a slow Tuesday PM. Course was in great shape which added to our overall experience as well. Inexpensive, too

Excellent Course

I'm not an avid golfer but I do like course. The fairways are manicured very well and the greens play superbly! I got a dog, Sprite, bottle of water and a shot of Goose at the turn with great service! My round of 18 got cut short and they didn't hesitate to offer a rain check for the back 9. I would highly recommend this course! I drove an hour to play and it was worth it.

Great North Houston Course

Course was in great shape considering we haven't had rain in a month. Greens were a bit slow, but rolled true. Course had some good character, number 9 is a short par 5, but heavily guarded green. I really liked it. I teed off at 10:30 and had the course to ourselves on a Wednesday in August. Well worth the drive to Conroe. I'll be back.

Beautiful Golf Course

Played here last week with a buddy, we both thought it was well maintained with lush fairways and a friendly staff!! Only issue was that some of the greens were somewhat spotty. Got a great deal thru Golfnow, I would recommend this course and plan on playing here again myself.

Great layout.

Very friendly staff. Course was in great condition. I live south of Houston, so it was quite a bit of a drive, but it was well worth it. I will be back soon.

The course layout was nice

The rough is nice and thick. Make sure to keep it in the fairway. The only complaint I have is the greens. Each green had about 1/3 of it damaged and no way you would putt through it true. Also, the card distance for White is not true, about 20 less. Luckily, I have a garmin that saved me on the par 3 tee boxes

Father Son day

The course was in decent shape. Only real issues were with the greens. Several of the greens had bad spots and the sand traps were wet packed sand. Thanks to the Golf Now price of $20 each including cart made it all worth it. No way I would have paid full price. That would have been a very disappointing day.

Great Course

Great course for the money! I played here a couple times as a kid 25 years ago when it was called Del Lago. It's a great bargain at $20 and I was surprised to find it on golfnow.com under $30. Was nice to remember a bit of childhood playing here today. Most courses this quality run $45+ for a green fee so if you spot this course under $30 on golfnow grab it. It is worth the extra drive once in awhile to play this course.

Really Good Course

This is the first time I have played this course since it was overhauled and changed from Del Lago to La Torretta. The course was in excellent shape, except the greens still had some winter damage. The greens were a little slow and bumpy, but the condition of the rest of the course was fantastic. We played the yellow (senior) tees at 6000+ yards because it was wet and the white (men's) tee were 6500+ yards and had 6 par 4s at 410-442 yards. Glad we did it played long with water in play on many holes. I plan to play the whites next time. We got a great deal on GolfNow and it was great. The only negative was no water on the course (in 90 degree weather there should be water available) and the prices of food and drinks were very high and the service was poor. I will certainly go back with a discount.

Dont miss La Toretta

This is second time playing La Toretta since its re-do & its in excellent shape...plush fairways, true greens & thick sanded bunkers. It had rained the day before I played so only a few wet fairways. Pace of play was excellent. One of the best conditioned golf courses I've played. It is well worth the drive to get to La Toretta, you wont regret it!

La Torretta

Course conditions: Tee Boxes were fair with splotchy grass, Fairways were in great shape, Greens were poor to awful.
Layout was nice, nothing exciting. Front nine was especially tight which made things interesting.
Pace of play, front nine was not bad play through one foursome and a twosome. Once on the back ran into several groups that were making no effort to play at a reasonable place and were not going to let anyone play through.
No marshall out to help with pace of play.

Needs help

Greens are horrible. Traps not raked, weeds growing in them. Nothing cut between holes high grass,weeds everywhere. Not 4 star resort that's for sure. Had a 20 dollar online special that lured me out on a Saturday to be disappointed again. Better options all over Conroe,Woodlands,Spring
