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.

Horrible conditions and maintenance

The course was in awful condition. Tee boxes were so hard you couldn’t get a tee in the ground. Boxes were also messy with piles of broken tees. Facilities were old and not maintained well. Staff was unfriendly. Female bartender was on the phone sitting on the couch when I walked up and when she came over to the bar she stayed on the phone the entire time. Plenty of other courses I’d play before returning here.

Absolutely horrible

Most unenjoyable day on the golf course I’ve ever had. Pace of play was ridiculously slow. Waited 5-7 minutes in between hitting each shot. Course is loaded with beginners and tee times are stacked every 7 minutes. Horrible time management on tee times. This Course has gone so down hill.. Will never play here again.

Slowwwww

The pace of place is extremely slow out here. I had a tee time at 8 am on a Wednesday and there were multiple groups per hole but not that many people out here. Constantly waiting on every shot.

Tough

This course isn't for beginners or high handicappers. It's long and there are difficult shot's in to the green and hard to hold the ball

Nice day at the course

Course was in good shape considering amount of recent rains. Pace of play was a bit slow but not so bad that it impact the quality of the play. Was good to see the course restart providing ice water at tee boxes!
