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.

Plenty of Trouble Awaits if You Don’t Play Smart

Overall, I really enjoyed playing this course. I’m about a 25 handicap, so the trouble that awaited came into play a couple of occasions. But when I played smart and steady, I managed fine - and had a lot of fun. Course conditions were good, the greens were quick, and the layout was challenging. So yes, I would love to play here again.

Unfriendly staff

I wanted to try a new course in the area but wasn’t very disappointed. The staff was unfriendly and overall unwelcoming, the lady working the bar area was down right rude. Course was not well maintained which lead to an overall disappointing day for the four of us playing.

Great day on the course

We thoroughly enjoyed the course the fairways are coming back after a very stressful hot dry summer they’re looking nice the greens were phenomenal really enjoy playing the course what I didn’t enjoy was enduring a five hour round for a twosome there is no Marshall there is nobody watching play and it was just too slow I would definitely play again and hopefully the pace of play can pick up I encourage everyone to play it’s a nice course course

yesterday

First time on this course and it would take several plays to begin to really grasp course management on what is a challenging layout. Course reasonably keep up. Staff a bit light in these days of Covid.

Hidden gem

This course has a unique challenge to it. It’s a placement course with the greens being small & quick

For a first timer I was surprised. The staff well that’s a different story. No Marshall or starter to regulate past and see you. Think it might b first come first serve. Even with a tee time

Golf course condition

Greens are great. Some fairways need to grow more grass,. Otherwise, it's a great golf course. I come back and play this course every week. I strongly recommend to play this golf course. Staff friendliness is appreciated.
