First Time Playing

The course was amazing. The greens we well maintained. We played on a holiday so pace of play was a bit slow but it did not bother us at all. I will definitely take the 45 minute short ride to play this course again!! The “Wilderness” is the perfect name because we saw wild pigs on one of the holes and a few gators in the water...loved it!!!

Love this course BUT...

Fairways need water. Too much hard pan on or near fairways.

Best public course and best value in Texas

This is my favorite course hands-down. I love playing late in the afternoon as no crowd and deer start coming into course about 7:30. Course is pristine, grass is always lush and most holes are secluded where you can’t see any other holes. Several risk/reward holes. It is not hard but not too easy. Absolutely perfect experience each time. Marshall’s are friendly and look to help you. Kurt was amazingly nice this last Saturday. The fancy, high cost courses should be trembling in their boots as this course is better at a fraction of the price.

**New Favorite Course**!!!

An absolute BEAST of a course!!! A "players delight"! The greens must have been rolled in the morning because they had to running no slower than an "11" on the stempmeter. They are undulating greens so if you can't put,, you better stick your shots close...The fairways were well manicured and the bunkers were well raked. The sand is "brown crunch" but, they play well enough to not cause problems when hitting out of them. I was amazed with how the layout provides both a "tight" and, forgiving test of accurate iron play. My favorite course in the Houston area used to be The Golf Course of Houston... The "Wilderness" is my other favorite... maintenance needs to be done on 2 of the greens on the back side but, it doesn't interrupt play. The greens are big!

Great course, poor greens

This is a fantastic course that was ruined because the greens Had been punched and the ball bounces all over and off line.

I will be back, but maybe in a month.

Greens are pretty quick

Such a great conditioned course from tee box to green. Worth the drive to play here. Will only get better when spring comes around.

Best course in Houston

This course is in pristine shape. I played after it raining overnight, and the course was still immaculate. Greens rolled fast even with all the rain.
My only complaint is that the course is in Lake Jackson, if it was closer I'd play it weekly. Instead it's just monthly :).

Have seen it in better condition

Nice course. Greens and fairways had more imperfections than ive seen here before. Cruised through front 9 no problem, but players were obviously being allowed to go off the back and somewhat randomly playing holes so back nine took an hour longer and marshal did nothing but take receipts and allow the lack of order.
