I like the course a lot with the exception of hole 13 I think improved maintenance is needed.

Pace of play

Played behind two men’s group members foursomes. Pace of play was painfully slow. Watched these guys mark and read absolutely every putt. Man there’s no need to plumb bob and walk around 4 foot putts for bogey and double bogey. It was ridiculous

Baytowne course 4/20/24

Course is in excellent shape except for the greens. Not sure if they had a lot of rain prior to me playing (I know they didn’t for a few days prior to me playing) but the greens were extremely hairy and slow. I’ve played here on several occasions and they weren’t this slow. I am going back this week so hopefully they have been able to at least mow them if not mow and and roll them. Overall it’s a beautiful course with a beautiful back drop!

Fun layout, poor conditions

The course layout is absolutely perfect. There are absolutely fun and challenging holes from the back tees. The ball sat up nicely in the fairways.

Very disappointed in the greens and tee boxes. The value($) does not justify it from tee to green. I’m not sure I’ve played slower greens than Baytowne. It was almost unbearable because the greens wouldn’t play pure. The tee boxes need some serious attention too. I was having to tee the ball 2-3ft behind every marker to find a flat spot or a spot with firm/lush grass.

I wouldn’t play this course again based on the green speed and tee boxes because every hole was so uncomfortable.

Needs improvement

Greens were slow, but much improved from last fall. Tee boxes were in very rough condition. Fairways and bunkers were marginal. I own a home on the 14th hole. So I know it Gets a lot of play, but for the amount of revenue this course generates it should be better maintained

In bad shape

I was surprised at the price to play since we were informed after our round that the greens caught a disease last year and they had let them grow out. putting was horrible as the greens were beaten up bad. no true roll.
