Snobby workers

Saw good reviews and wanted to play here. So I was excited to play here however, first thing I noticed was the carts were not good. No GPS and ripped seats. Weeds were everywhere and the pace of play was horrible. 1st tee box was packed so I was told to start at 10. Then as I play on I see a bunch of workers playing holding up the course back on hole 4 or 5. Unbelievable behavior from the staff. Just a overhyped municipal course. Best thing was the city views, besides that not coming back for the price.

Nice Golf, Very Good Conditions

My wife and I played this course and really enjoyed the lay out of the course. We had perfect weather and since we were a twosome a couple of players in front let us through. We have a very nice 4 hr round.

Good Track; Challenging

This was the first time on Highlands. Greens were ok...a bit on the slow side. Bunkers were good and the fairways were firm (with ample good grass). There were a few visually "weird" holes that were difficult when playing the course for the first time.

Overall, while my son recommended the Highlands course over the Lakes, we preferred the Lakes.

It seemed to me that there were more blind shots on Highlands with unknown outcomes, than there were on the Lakes course.

Wildcat- Highlands was a great experience

First time playing Wildcat, weather wasn’t the greatest but everything else was top notch! Staff was welcoming and friendly, course was in great shape for this time of year. Played on a Monday morning and it seemed like we had the course to ourselves. Two groups allowed us to play through with easy. After the first round, we payed the inexpensive replay fee and played a second round. Already looking forward to my next visit to the challenging course

Hills in Houston?

So much for everything is flat at sea level! Incredible rolling hills, lakes, streams, views and wildlife. Can’t wait to come back!

Zero customer service

I love this course and spend thousands a year with Golf Now with clients. My clients son has covid and can’t make it and I can’t get a cancellation or reply or any chance of response since 3pm the day prior. At minimum I need a response of some sort. I would pay a minimum on cancellation fee but zero response is hard to swallow.

Been a while since playing here. But I know I can count on it being in great shape. Really nice to hit off full fairways instead of tight lies. Nice to see the oil pump on 15 repaired an running too. Lol. Hope to be back soon.
