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.

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.

Should have been half price

This course had standing water in nearly every fairway. A potentially beautiful course but major drainage issues. Really needs to be visited by a good course engineer who can address this. We were told it was “little wet” so it would be cart path only. It was a swamp and we should have been issued SUVs. You had to pick you spots on the cart paths or even get out of the cart!

First mild day of the winter

The layout is a challenge if you’ve never played Greatwood. There’s a moat around the 18th green that you can’t see until you’re 100 yards out. Also the 10th is tough if the course is soft with cool temps as it was when I played. A short drive into the wind leaves very little room to go around the lake in front of the green. That par 3 7th with the elevated and well protected green is hard to reach. Not much room on the 8th tee to get around the lake. Greens and fairways are well maintained.

Lots of water

The course was in fair shape. Greens were surprisingly fast considering the course was a little wet. Expensive considering the condition of the course.
