Outstanding

Tournament Course was beautiful and long. And hard! But loved it. Pace of play excellent. Refreshment cart
on course came by often. Water and ice provided in the cart. Pro shop staff, starter and Marshall’s were very nice. Driving range was included. Look forward to playing again.

Great course no Cart Girl

Played the Tournament course, it is in great shape tee to green, not too crowded, so pace of play was good, only complain woud be that there is no drinking water on the course, wish they would have told me when I checked in that there was no cart girl on the course, when the marshall told me this on hole #10 he was kind enough to go buy me a few beers and bring them to me, that was great.

Play on a Pro's Course!

I now understand why the PGA tour guys have an easy time putting with greens that roll true and fast. Greens are in great condition! A little maintenance here and there but expected this time of year. I rather them spend the money on keeping the course in good condition instead of cart girls and marshall's. If you are a low handicap player you will enjoy it, but if you go to hack it around and drink beer there are better courses for that. Overall great experience and the golf shirts were 60% off if you buy 3 or more, bonus!

The best conditioned course available for public play in area.

I've played this course about 8-12 times a year and this was the 1st bad experience I've encountered. The course was perfect, as can be expected, the round, unfortunately, was not. Booked a tee time and showed up early because frequently I can go off early. Today, was told that myself and 2 others would be teeing off on 10 behind a tournament that was still.playing... no big deal. Great guys that I played with, however, when we went to the tee box there were teams still waiting and behind us making the turn. The group in front of us had started on hole 6 and we waited for 2 groups at each teebox the entire day until our last 4 holes. Is Golf Club of Houston hurting for money and need to squeeze teetimes in during a tournament? Unacceptable guys...wouldn't have driven up from League City had I known...

-no marshal to move play along
-no beverage cart
-too many tee times bunched up groups on course

-price was too high for all these errors, club can do better

Overall condition

The course was amazing overall. Haven’t played it in over 8 years was amazed. Greens were awesome, they held well and rolled pure. Bunkers are great too with really nice sand. . I would highly recommend.

Love this golf course. - unfortunately the greens had just been top dressed but still rolled really well. The course has a combo tee for tournament and blue tee boxes.. I’d love to see combo tees put in throughout each set of tee boxes. There is a VERY big yardage gap between each set of tee boxes. Creating more combo tees would accommodate all players - not just the low handicappers and bombers. Overall - great day though 👍🏻

Meh

It's just an ok track. Built up in a big. As a result there are a lot of sharp edges in play.
Conditioning was, well, you can tell they no longer host a PGA Tour event here.
Practice facility is great however.
Other than the starter, the staff was awkward.
