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.

The course is poorly maintained

This course design is good but it will need a complete maintainance overall 1). Fairways, 2). The rough, and 3). The greens. The course also need regular sweeping to remove dead leaves.

Great wood gc

Through golf now a great value. Too expensive on weekends.

At this time of the year too many leaves in fairway.

Traps are not in good condition. Not raked.

Still Great

One of the top new courses in the country when it opened years ago, this course is still great and one of my favorites. Holes 10, 11, 14, 17 and 18 are all beautiful.

Walked

One of my favorite layouts.

The course conditions were pretty good this time. I absolutely love the layout! The holes are so interesting. Tough par 3's, a wide range of par 4's and good par 5's. A must play. I drive 1 hour to play this course and do it at least once or twice a month.

Only complaint is the guy behind the counter wasn't very friendly. I made the assumption its because I booked a discounted round on golfnow, but who knows, he may have gotten in a wreck on the way to work... Waitstaff in the grill was very friendly.
