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.

Greatwood Golf course Sugarland

Overall, the course was good. Greens are decent, fairways are good. The only issues I had with this place were the pace of play, wayyyy to slow and the kitchen to get a couple dogs on the turn. Who closes their kitchen at 3:30pm? Besides those two things I’d recommend.

Course dried out nicely

I hadn’t played in six days due to a couple of episodes of heavy rainfall but I didn’t want to wait until a Friday on a holiday weekend. I took a chance teeing off at 4pm but there were no undue delays and I finished up before 8pm about 20 minutes before sundown. Greens have gotten very good and the fairways had plenty of roll out. I did lose a white air bud on the ninth hole…oh well. Can’t wait to go back.

Decent

Ground was rock solid most places, took about 10 attempts to find a spot my tee would go in the ground. Greens aren’t consistent and the fairways were not well kept. Would be a great course if it was taken care of properly.

Course was nice but tee box suck.

The tee box’s where very very very hard, too the point you can not get a tee in the ground. No I’m not weak, it was very hard. Other then that it was really fun super hot and a crap load of bunkers, but fun

Tough course in the wind

Some poanna making a few greens bumpy but the inevitable 90 + days will take care of that. The pesky first hole is a tough carry on the approach shot…an easy double bogey to start your day on a high handicap hole. Move up to the red tees on 17 if you are not getting distance. Otherwise splash.

Basic, short muni - needs maintenance

Good layout, some challenging holes. Greens were small and real bumpy, traps were were missing a lot of sand; tons of fire ants.

Awful

Greens were very bumpy and slow. Fairways not much better. They should bite the bullet and close the front nine for a month and repair the fairways and greens, then close the back nine and do the same thing. It is a pretty good course to play, but needs a lot of work.
