Poor Greens

Overall a good course, but overpriced for sure. I usually really enjoy Château, but the greens are starting to look like Collins Hill. Fungus has taken over and for $130, not what you would expect. The fairways and tee boxes are great and the staff was great. Really need to get some fans on those greens. It’s a shame that they have gone down hill.

Course excellent greens in great shape

Only negative was needed another cart lady out there in heat of the day. Did have cold waters in coolers every couple of holes. Excellent course. Pricey but wait for the reduced price after noon.

Play the Chateau course instead

The greens were all pitch marked and in bad condition. The chateau course had better greens and is more fun

Not worth the money

Slow pace of play was beyond acceptable

Crews working had no regard for players

Decent fairways but tons of bare areas with roots, rocks and wash outs

Cart pats filled with pot holes and roots pushing up. Very bumpy.

Lots of other places to play close by for less with better conditions

A very bad experience, won’t be back

We started off with range tokens but there were no range balls. We played the first 7 holes with a sand trap maintenance crew as part of our group. Every fairway and green with a gas powered trap groomer. And another gas cart. They did not stop when we hit, putt or asked them to. We called the pro shop and they stopped them for a few holes then they rejoined our group for 5 more holes. It was very disturbing with the gas machine next to you for more than half the round. The pace of ply was totally unacceptable. I have never called a pro shop from the course, but today, we called twice. They said they would “ message” their cart but did not get any better. No. On course Marshal so we had a 5 hour and 45 minute round. Pretty miserable.

The woodlands course.. fairways are nice, the tee boxes were soggy from a morning rain. The areas around the fairways are poorly maintained with lots of dirt, gravel, roots and bare areas, etc.

We we checked in we were told they had one beverage cart for two courses, we never sw a beverage cart and there is no return to the clubhouse. A very hot day with no services.

A lot of money for not much in amenities

Won’t be back

We are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the course. As far as the raincheck goes, sounds like you prepaid for a Hot Deal on GolfNow. When this is the case, no money is paid to the pro-shop so there is no money that is owed back from the course. You may have booked other course times through GolfNow and that is why you were able to obtain a raincheck. If you call GolfNow, they would be happy to rectify the situation. We hope this clears any confusion up and we hope you give us another try in the future.

par 3 review

Beautiful golf course. 9 hole par 3. Nice undulations and rolling hills, lots of water and some bunkers. Longer par 3 when you play the back tees. Lake shot on the 9th hole is cool.

Fun to play, but expensive for a 3-par

Enjoyed the round!

The staff is always friendly & accommodating. The new carts are awesome! The are super clean with excellent GPS on board. Course conditions could have been better. The practice green was perfect, clean, fast & fun to putt & when we got on the course, the greens were slow, bumpy with brown blotches/stressed areas. It would be nice if the greens on the course matched the practice green. For the price of the "green fees" they should be better.

For my fellow golfers - Do your part to keep the course in great condition. if you don't know golf etiquette, get yourself accustomed to what is expected on the course or find another sport to play. Watched the group in front of us multiple times hit out of bunkers & never once raking. Which I landed in one of their foot craters on 18. As well as, leave an absolute mess on the greens dragging their feet & never once bending over to fix a ball mark. How do I know this? They defined a new definition of slow, just because you see the tour pros 5 minute pre-shot routine doesn't mean you should replicate. And, you are welcome for picking up your pitching wedge and giving it back (proper golf etiquette) you probably just forgot to say thank you!
