Greatwood Golf Club

I have played at several golf courses in the greater Houston area. Greatwood Golf Club is top 3 in almost a dozen courses in and around Houston. My son and I played a 6pm tee time. Unfortunately, we were playing behind a walker. A very fast paced walker; the weather and holes distracted us, and didn’t notice the lost time. To our dismay, we were only able to get to 9 of the 18 holes. I definitely would recommend this course and am looking forward to our next game at Greatwood Golf Club and hopefully get a chance to try the food options.

Course itself is ok. Pace of play needs to be reviewed and someone needs to be on top of the people that delay the game

I have played many rounds at Greatwood over the past 25 years. In those years, the greens have rarely been in this bad of conditions. Greatwood has very low green fees compared to many other courses which is nice but hopefully they will improve the greens. The cart was well charged. Fairways were in good shape. Pro shop girl was not very friendly. I love Greatwood and enjoy taking friends and family there to play but hope the greens improve soon. I will be back in a week or two to see how the greens are playing.

Great course for $62 even has GPS carts with speakers and there’s not many public courses you can get a tee time for at 6 am.

For the price I expect grass on greens, but most holes had more bare spots than grass. In turn was difficult to have consistent ball speed.

Greens were a mess! Hardly any grass. It was 90 degree rule but the carts wouldn’t get off the cart path without it dying. Awful. Someone needs to fix the carts.

This course needs love from the tee boxes to the. Greens. Tees are hard as a rock and none are level. Fairways might be the best part of the course. Bunkers are hard as a rock and watch for rocks and clay. Greens are in poor condition and do not expect a true roll. Look at the practice greens for free and that’s the most of the 18. Very patchy!! If not patchy loaded with weeds!. Pace of play is horrible. 5hr round on a Sunday. Do not pay the 60-70 a round it’s not worth it. Sad they let this place go

Overall the course is fair, some of the fairways were really hard, the greens are smaller than average and bumpy.

Course condition is fair. The greens seem to have been recently aerated, making it somewhat difficult to read. Otherwise it’s reasonable value for money.

Fairways, boxes good shape. Greens are horrible If they get them corrected would play this course a lot.

Not too bad for a Saturday, although pace of play could be better as we followed a slow threesome. Biggest issue was that the cart GPS system was messed up and kept indicating that we were out of bounds when we were on the cart path, many times just next to the tee box or green. Cart had to be switched after front nine, which improved both pace of play and enjoyment.

Greens are still bumpy but not too bad given time of year. Fairways and tee boxes were decent.

The course was great.

The Greens were patchy Sandy and crappy..

The carts had hole visual and green layout.

That was awesome.

Course needs a lot of help on the conditions. Club house seemed old and the people didn’t seem to motivated. Would not play there again until it improved. 18th green was horrible.

I enjoy the Greatwood course layout. Shorter length and smaller greens allow target practice for short irons.

The hard fairways allow the ball to roll an extra 20 yards!

Hard fairways with little grass helps you improve ball first contact

I’ve played this course many times. The greens were in the worst shape I’ve ever seen them

Much worse than two weeks ago.

Greatwood has great bones. A treat for southwest Houston residents. However, in recent years, this course has been poorly maintained by a new maintenance company that has taken over this course, and Sienna Plantation. Examples of conditions:

1. We couldn’t put our tees into the ground. Insufficient watering has made the tee boxes hard like cement.

2. Greens were bumpy and in bad shape. Size of greens were reduced from years ago (perhaps in an attempt to save money?)

3. Outside of fairways were neglected: no first cut etc.

This is a gem of a layout and I hope a long term strategy of more $$ for maintenance is brought forward or this course will be drought with a downward spiral and downward pressure on its green fee.
