Course Highlights
Greatwood delivers outstanding value with well-maintained fairways, greens, and challenging island holes that stand out among Houston-area courses. Water hazards and strategic pin placements create an engaging layout that keeps golfers returning.

About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6836 yards
Slope 1308
Rating 72.3

Greatwood is known for its white sand bunkers and impressive par 3s, three of which play right at or over 200 yards. The 1989 Carlton Gipson design features elevated tees and greens that sandwich plush fairways and are contoured with mounds.

The 434-yard par 4 hole 5 is one difficult par, featuring a fairways loaded with bunkers and involves water on the approach. No. 18 goes 576, yards. While the tee shot is fairly standard, the second shot must land short of a plateau and might involve a blind approach shot if placed too far to the left. The intimidating approach plays into a green surrounded by water on three sides.

Getting there : From Hwy. 59 south, turn left on Crab River Rd., then make a left onto the other side of Hwy. 59. Look for Greatwood Pkwy. and make another left when you get there.

Play Smart

Course was in good shape. A few spots were pretty hard and a few bunkers were like concrete (stay out and no problem).

There are a few holes that you better pick your club wisely as a good drive on 10 will be in the water due to severe downslope. 17 you better stay right on the high side - if you are left even thinking it was good you probably lost it due to the slope.

Course makes you play golf and it is still fun.

Always a Fun Course

Love the Layout and the challenge of this course. I wish they would enforce players sanding divots and repairing pitch marks. I must have repaired up at least 10 pitch marks on every green.

Give it a try

I haven’t played here in over 4 months. The fairways and greens are taking to the recent rains and in great shape. The traps are still rough but for the money you won’t find a better course. Layout is a great challenge!

Course was in good condition. Staff was friendly. Pace was slow , but to be expected on a holiday Saturday. Lots of bunkers and water carries make this a challenging course. Will definitely play again and recommend others to play. Good value for the price.

Great Condition

The course is in great condition. There's good grass on the fairways and the greens are much better than last time I played there.

Same Ol Crap w/this Family Owned Course

The owners continue to let this place go to crap. They sit in the pro shop playing on their phones while the one bartender is running around like a chicken with her head cut off. The pace of play was horrendous! There was a group of six playing with only three golf bags. Then the mom with her three kids spraying balls all over the course and not fixing divots as well as dragging their feet on the course. I get the facilites are old but take pride and pick up trash and spruce up the landscaping. Gotta do better people. SMH

Worth the money

Not sure why there’s so many negative reviews of this place. Sure, the range was closed but it’s been pouring rain lately. The club house could use a modernization too but, again, so what. $5 hot dog isn’t cool though lol.

The course played great, had minimal standing water, and has really greened up with all the rain. Will absolutely be back!
