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.

need maintenance

Great layout. Course greens, fairway and traps need work-watering would help. Greens usually good but this time they were dry and patchy. Challenging course and fun layout.

Don't waste your money

This used to be an excellent course. It has gone down hill over the last few years. The greens are gone. Fairways are turf barren with apparent lack of adequate irrigation. Water stations had no cups. Generally this course shows a severe lack of attention. Don't bother.

Easter golf

The greens need a lot of work, pretty spotty in places. The course had water standing in several areas near the fairways but you needed a hammer to get your tee in the ground. Other than that the course is in.pretty good shape

Course not what it used to be...

I remember when Greatwood was one of the nicest courses in the Houston area. Oh how things have changed. It's still a nice layout, but they can use some added TLC. I don't plan on playing this course again for what I paid ($57). It's not worth that much in my opinion.

such a shame

this is a great layout and yet the maintenance is appalling. Tees are disgusting, fairways mediocre, and greens struggling.

Greatwood! Worth it!

I usually play at this course whenever they have a good deal going on. It’s not far from where I live, and it’s WAY cheaper than the surrounding courses near me. Challenging course, but it has a good layout. I have played here about 4-6times so far and have never had a complaint with the course or staff.
