Great value

I found a $20.00 Golf Now round for this course and booked it. I have been wanting to play this course for some time since moving to Houston and I am glad I did. I was a single, so I was paired with a group of 3 and made a new group of friends. The course was in amazing shape, greens rolled well and the fairways were full. Sand condition was perfect ( I saw them as I was walking by not because I was playing out of them all day)

Overall a good round and course.

Glad you finally made it out, and hope you come back to play El Dorado too.

Confidence builder

Not too many hazards on this course as far as water goes. A few holes had water, but not really in play for most players. I think this course is great for the beginner. I will say I eventually caught up to a player who might have been fairly new to the game and was all over the fair way and spent a little to much time looking for the ball either on the left or right.

My advice to everyone is if someone is a quick player and you notice them waiting on every shot...let them play through. It will be much more enjoyable for everyone involved.

I will be back for sure.

Shell Houston Open Course

I would like to start off by saying this is in no way a reflection of the course, but rather a lack of communication between the club house and the Golfnow app. My wife normally comes with me to the course to watch and enjoy the surroundings, but when we were checking in the club house informed me that there would be a $25.00 spectator fee for my wife to join me on the cart. Not a big deal, but I think this should be communicated to players in the case someone is not playing, but simply watching. Just some feedback on my end to the app developers.

Other than that the course played great. I played from the championship tees to challenge myself and on that day the length was about 7,500 yards. I had a great experience and will be back for sure.

Be sure to hydrate during the summer as the humidity got to me about hole 15 where the breeze had somewhat stopped.

I will be back for sure.

Every year

My father-in-law and I play here on our annual family vacation to the island. The course during the week is really great for pace of play. We finished 18 in about 3 hours and played another 9 just because.

The greens are soft, so you can be very aggressive in your approach shot for sure.

Be sure you have plenty of water and cold towels as it can get hot on the back 9 away from the bay side.

Overall a great round. We will return for sure!

Great layout!

This course is in Humble, TX. I've heard great things when I moved to Houston a few months ago and decided to get out and play this course. They have 18 holes from some of the great golf courses around the U.S. and they did not disappoint! I think "Amen Corner" were my favorite three holes here. They were pretty much laid out just like they are at Augusta National. Loved it and I will be back here soon!!

Challenging

This course is close to my office and home. I love coming here to hit balls and work on my game. The wind can be challenging sometimes because some holes sit up on the hill out there. A lot of forced carries and water as well.

The conditions out there are great and #18 is probably my favorite hole out there.

Great Track, but slow

I played fairly quick around the first 9, but then eventually caught up to the group who had 2 beginners playing. While it was slow and had to wait on pretty much every hole while the collected golf balls from the surrounding creeks, I did play well and had nothing else to be doing, so I'm not going to complain. I would advise keeping the beginners to the driving range and have them start their round at 5 p.m. or so.

I feel the Lakes course is in much better condition, but it was a nice change for the day.

Buffalo Creek - Still Amazing

I have been playing at Buffalo Creek since 2003. I grew up playing the course and worked there briefly after high school. I never pass up a chance to play here. The course is in great shape, yes it was hot yesterday, but there was a small rain shower that came over us on 16 and it was welcomed!

I love this course and will be back soon!

The lakes at Firewheel

Course was in great shape, but the pace of play was lacking. Understandably so as it was a great day for golf. Just couldn't get in a rhythm when having to wait on each shot on each hole.

I'll be back!

This is a great course for the money. GPS in every cart makes it easy for the everyday golfer to enjoy their round! Quite a bit of water out there, but easily manageable if you play it smart.

I'll be back again!

This course has always been a favorite of mine! I play here quite often and would highly recommend this course! Note to other golfers out there: it is our responsibility to fix the ball marks on the greens! When you hit a shot into the green and leaves a ball mark...FIX IT!!!

Played here with my father-in-law on a Saturday afternoon and we couldn't have had a better time! Course was wide open and we finished our round in 3 hours and 40 minutes. The course was in great shape as well. I would highly recommend playing here! It is a hidden gem and well worth the money!

We played here on 7/3/2015, but i mistakenly booked the time for 7/1/2015. They were more than accommodating for us and fit us in. The rain did bother us for about 6 holes, but once it cleared up it was fine. We did run into a foursome on about hole 13 and they were very slow, but its all good because a slow round of gold beats a good day at work any day!

I would recommend this course! Very nice course for the money!
