Wildwood Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Wildwood was designed in 1966 by Leon Howard, who was able to use this impressive terrain near the Big Thicket National Preserve to his advantage as he turned this par 71, 6,696-yard layout into the centerpiece of a resort community. His design features two large lakes that come into play on about half the holes, as well as wide fairways and good-sized, mounded greens.
Hackers can enjoy themselves at Wildwood because it takes unusually bad tee shots to get into trouble here. Each nine ends with an impressive hole. The front nine's ender is only a 455-yard par 5, but has a creek cutting across the fairway around 260 yards from the tee. No. 18 involves carrying a drainage ditch off the tee, then plays uphill into a dogleg fairway that is lined by trees.
In between, No. 12 presents some problems because it plays 221 yards and requires a carry over a creek.
Getting there : From Hwy. 69 south, turn right on Button Willow Dr. The course is on the right side of the street.

Wildwood Golf course
Perfect layout with some challenging holes with water and dog legs. Greens and fairways were in good condition.
Wildwood golf course
Fairways perfect, front greens lacking grass on edges. Back nine green were in great condition.
Bad greens
For several years they have had problems with their greens and even closed the front 9 for an extended period to try and repair them. It was nice for a while, but looks like they are losing the front greens again, back greens are not as bad, but not great either. The front greens have a lot of bare areas. The cost on the weekend is $47 and no senior rates. It is overpriced considering the shape of the greens.
Best Greens in the area
50 miles Around Beaumont I've been playing in almost all the courses and this one is the best one so far, greens in perfect condition and course even with a huge rain the day before was in perfect conditions to play (car path only of course)
Front Nine Closed
The Front Nine was closed and the greens were just punched. Not a good experience this time. No mention of front nine being closed on Golf Now. Will be closed until September
Surprised
I was surprised by the state of the greens and fairways.(excellent) Only downside was that only the back nine was open for play. I will definitely return to play the full course.
Hidden Gem
I’m not the one to give reviews, but this course is flawless. Great atmosphere, perfect conditions, and overall just great. All for a great price. Highly recommend.
Very fun layout ⛳🏌️
Wildwood is in great shape. Can be a bit challenging with large greens, water hazards, and dog leg layouts on some holes. Excellent place to play and enjoy some fresh air ⛳🏌️
wildwood golf course
Have been playing this course for about 40 years and right now this is undoubtedly the best the course has ever looked. The greens are greatly improved with the number one green showing the best improvement with lush green grass on the entire green. The on going improvements are going to make this a very enjoyable and desirable course to play. keep up the great work!!!!
Course is in great shape
This course is setup as a player’s course from the blue and black tee boxes. It will challenge you to work the ball. Great shape for the current drought and a diamond for east Texas.. staff is friendly and never saw any golfers after we left out from the first hole aka the way to 18. Would highly recommend
Wow what a great find. Can't believe I am just now finding out about this place. A bit of a drive from Pasadena but the reviews were so good thought we'd give it a try. Everyone was right. The course is in great shape. While most other courses are struggling to keep their greens in shape during the drought Wildwood greens were beautiful. Overall the course was lush and green. The staff was friendly and helpful when one of our group canceled last minute. Like I said a bit of a drive but absolutely worth it to play this kind of course at these rates. Definitely looking forward to our next visit which will be very soon.
