Greatwood Golf Club

First time playing the course, but I'd heard good things about it from my daughter who'd played it a few months ago. Color me surprised when I got there and the practice green was at least 1/2 sand. I was thinking the course greens couldn't be the same, but was disappointed when they were. Fairways were overrun with weeds, as well as the tee boxes. I'm not sure what happened in the last few months but I do believe they've lost control of the course and may have a hard time getting it back.

For $63 per round, I expected the course conditions to be at least significantly above average to excellent. Instead, all but about 3 greens were for the most part not puttable. The fairways were extremely hard and lacked enough grass cover to provide anything close to a good lie for any iron shot. In my opinion, the course layout has potential, but the course condition is so bad that I believe they will have a very hard time bringing this course back to a level that warrants the price being charged. Considering the condition the course was in today, I wouldn't pay $25 to play it again.

My father and I drove a long way to play this course. We called ahead and asked if the greens were decent. We were told they were in good shape. They were literally unplayable. Like playing plinko. Worst shape I’ve ever putted on. On top of that the pin placements were all angled. I’ve played hundreds of courses and this was the worst as far as greens keeping. Don’t waste your time and money.

Great layout and some challenging holes, but course isn’t in great shape. Greens were nearly non-existent and fairway grass was thin. Lots of room for improvement.

Course was in terrible shape. Greens were like putting on cobblestone and looked like a patchwork quilt.

Texas weather is unpredictable to say the least. Doesn’t give best chances to grow grass, that being said Course conditions were subpar. Fairways need a ton of work, very rock hard, unforgiving and uneven. Like driving on moguls. Greens covered in sand and very bumpy. Maybe 3-4 decent greens with no sand on them. Tee boxes were okay, weren’t difficult to find a hitting spot on. Bunkers play was good, no standing water or ground under repair. Cart girl was active, saw her twice. Practice facilities are horrendous, can’t even putt on practice green, driving range is ok, big enough to find a small patch of grass to get some cuts on. Went around 2pm on Sunday and finished in 4 hours while letting 2 singles play on ahead of our foursome. Tried calling the shop to book over the phone and no one answered, just rang for minutes.

Course is in bad to terrible shape. No other way to say it. Greens are sand pits with disease and weeds. Fairways the same. There used to be a rough but it disappeared. The practice greens and driving range are equally as disappointing.

I have lived in the neighborhood 3+ years and I am officially embarrassed that a neighborhood this nice has to live with an ownership group who clearly has no desire to put a penny back into the experience.

Course/property has so much potential. It’s a shame.

The course design is great but the greens are in pretty rough shape. Played there about 15 months ago and they were in great shape so maybe the maintenance fell off… hopefully they can rectify the greens soon.

The course is not well maintained, eg the green looks like a sand box, the tee box needs watering unless you use a hammer to insert the tee, etc.

The layout was not bad but the price was way high to play a course in this shape.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Fairways were a nice mixture of hard pan, weeds, crab grass, and actual grass allowing the golfer to work on hitting approach shots from a variety of lies.

Really like the crab grass fringe that gently flows into the sand greens forcing you to always chip to jump over the random weeds on the green. My short game has never been tested so thoroughly.

The average golfer is going to walk away from Greatwood feeling like someone just stole $50 from them and that’s the real genius behind the course: Only the great ones will realize that they’ve just overcome every garbage situation that can happen on the course.

The only negatives were that the inside staff are total dicks and the hot dogs cost $3.50.

Current green condition is terrible. fairways are decent.

I came to Texas in 2005, and played this course before. It was soooo nice to play here, the greens were very good.

My round was dreadful! Sand on the greens, no even areas to putt. Looks like a "city municipal " course

Throughly disappointed in the way that the course looked, needs some major improvements

I wouldn’t even call those putting surfaces “greens”. It’s terrible

Course conditions were terrible. Fairways and Greens were horrible.

This was a good golf course, If they hire a great greenskeeper and gave them a big budget it could be a great goat ranch in a month or two. Parking lot rolls better than these greens. Don't waste your time.

Very challenging layout. Bunkers were below average shape and greens were in bad condition.

Don’t play this course until they do something about the greens. They have lost the greens with weeds and over sanding to try and cover the poor conditions
