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.

Not Worth The Money

There are a lot of other courses around the same price range that I'd rather play. Wildcat is very similar in price and much nicer.

Slow Round, but ok for the Money

Today was a long round. Course was in ok shape, but they have recently filled in bunkers. No one to keep the pace rolling, but all in all I’d play it again.

FAST FUN WALKING W CLUB & BALL

Yes, greens were top dressed, so what, are you playing scratch golf? Plus, greens will be even better in a couple of weeks!

With all the safety measures were in place, I felt safe and carts being well tended to follow each round. If you NEED A MENTAL HEALTH DAY, THEN, utilizing safe policies, please consider TX AG’s guidance regarding a walk w club & ball.

Greens are in very poor conditions. I asked when i made the reservation but they are not honest.

Don't go there, this is a $25 golf course right now.

Empty Course

GolfNow had advised me that that had top dressed the greens. They had not. They are doing this on April 7.

Really bad tasting water on hole 12. I had to spit it out. Called pro shop. They did not express any concern.

Course was in good shape.

Staff

Great layout . Course is maintained and in good condition. Staff in the pro shop did not say anything. I said hello and he just looked at me. Not a good experience. I live nearby but I will go to other courses around .

For late winter conditions the course was in good shape. The layout makes the course both challenging and fun to play.
