Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe

Tee boxes and fairways were really good, most of the greens though have crab grass all through out them so you ball won’t roll true but for the price I paid it was worth going.

Greens need some attention. Nice course I would recommend it and will play it again

The course design was cool. Bunker placement, tree place, green complex made you think on every shot. However look like it had just been mowed by a 12 year old. Overall maintenance of the course isn’t great. Greens need redone. Invasive grass has taken over the greens big time. I paid a hot deal rate of sixty dollars. I was disappointed on how much I paid. But the realized hopefully they put that money towards a renovation. The pace of play and lack of control of that is complete different topic. If you are visiting lake Conroe make friends with some who is a country club member is this only public golf option just doesn’t suit the golfers eye. If you want to have a good time with some friends and bet some beers on the round then go for it.

Course layout - pretty average, had some cool holes

Fairways - average, mostly good, been pretty dry lately, alittle tight but didn’t have any trouble getting out of the trees

Greens - below average, I’d say about 60% were in decent shape, the others had a lot of crab grass but didn’t really effect the putts too bad

Bunkers - pretty good, decent sand, no standing water

Food/Beverages- no cart service, alittle pricey on the food and drinks in the pro shop, nice staff though

Practice facility- ok, had a small driving range and putting/chipping green

Place wasn’t bad as the reviews said, I would play it again, I scored well and had fun. 7 handicap

Their greens bounce not roll.

More weeds than grass.

I kept trying to enjoy golf here but so many needs for improvement. Cart paths unusable. Greens are crab grass. Greens are tiny as compared to most courses. To top it off my golf GPS watch does not recognize This course and had me playing the Walden course through 7 holes.

The course itself was taken care of. The greens were complete trash except for the two by the clubhouse. Greens were missing grass and/or full of weeds. When you’re putting from 5’ out and it’s bouncing off the ground from going over the weeds, it’s a problem. Several bunkers had 6” of water sitting in the bottom of them. I won’t book a tee time here again. Hard to believe until you see it first hand. Absolutely the worst greens I’ve ever played on.

I can see why so many people talked about the poor green conditions right now, but they mostly held shots and rolled true. I really enjoyed the layout, tough track, definitely a shot makers course. Definitely a fun course that I would come back and play again.

Disappointed with the club house. The snack bar/ food counter was absolutely barren. No chips, crackers or candy bars of any kind. The only food available was a turkey wrap, which was tasty but cost $16.26 Employee stated everything else was locked up and he didn’t have the key.

A little disappointing for a Margaritaville Resort.

GCMLR is getting better as time goes by. Always has been a challenging design and course conditions are improving rapidly. Fairways have filled in nicely this season and ALL traps were recently filled with brand new sand. Greens need a bit of improvement; wish the superintendent would bring in the Texas Golf Association (TXGA) to consult on the greens. This course could be hosting key state amateur tournaments with some focused work on the greens. Keep up the good work on a solid course!!
