Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe

I paid for a round of golf on GolfNow at Margaritaville for my brother-in-law and I. I have played this course many times over the years and have always paid online with GolfNow. When we arrived at the pro shop, the employee at the desk disputed that we had paid online. He said that GolfNow always requires payment at the course and that we owed for the green fees. I told him that I'm always pay online and showed him my receipt from GolfNow indicating "0 owed at course". He wouldn't accept this and insisted that we owed for the green fees. I told him to call the manager and he said he was away. But, that he was going to check with "some members" that he saw in the parking lot. He did, then admitted that he was wrong all along. Great! But. not something we should have had to put up with while waiting for him to find out he was wrong. Bad experience that was uncalled for. I hope GolfNow will let this course know that payment is accepted by them when the reservations are made.

From the moment we teed off, to the final putt, this course was a definitely a winner! It was cart path only, we were told they had received 6 inches of rain the day before. We played 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours. Front nine has 4 par 4’s that play a little narrow. Back nine plays easier of the tee box than the front side. True lies on all fairways, ball just sits up. Greens, putts rolled so smooth. This course is definitely maintained well…and we will be back to enjoy another golf outing.

Course overall was in good condition. Pace of play was pretty slow at times but not all day. Course does require accuracy because it is fairly tight with not much room from fairway edge to out of bounds in several places.

Course layout is great. Pace was pretty good... could have pairedv players to eliminate singles. Only had interaction with staff while getting cart. He was a bit rude, but I would still recommend this course.

Greens were overall very good. Fairways were a bit spare but ok for March. Overall very good

Although I do wish the Greens were in just a little bit better shape. I get it, mid-march calm down. The course is not very long, very hard to pull out your Driver and really give it a whack. If you want a quick round, and work on your irons and who doesn't need to right, then I suggest here. If you are meeting a buddy and you both are great ball strikers, you might be disappointed. I hope this helps. Have a great Season, keep your head down.

Great greens....Very consistense....The fairway has sufferered the latest cold weather but overall great place to come back

1st time playing course was in pretty good shape. Will do it again and regular if I can get it for around 30 would not pay 40 or more as stated shape not bad but not great.

Had great time.Chad the pro is a great guy.Makes signing in a great experience.

I have played this course 3 times in the last 6 months. Each time I’ve given them 2 months to improve course conditions before I returned. Each time I was disappointed with 0 improvement. I may wait 3 months this time, or I may just call around to see if any friends might have played before I go, and see what they say.

It’s a shame because years ago this was a very nice course to play. My guess is the latest owners are boaters and not golfers, and would rather put there money in the marina, than the course. About 5 million investment is needed to restore it to how it used to be, and green fee revenue alone will never get it done. Wasted potential is all I see.
