Better bang for your buck out there.

The only reason I'm giving it a two is because the green was in good shape, and the course has a fun layout. The course is in serious need of some TLC. The fairways were beaten down and bare patches all over. The pace of play was good for the first three holes, then it went to 20min a hole. Five hours to get through the round, waiting 15-20min per hole to hit. I won't drive the hour from Pearland to come back. Golf pro forgot to give me a key to the cart after I paid.

First time playing def not the last!

One of my new favorite courses, only problem it’s 300 miles from home! I played this course today and despite some intermittent rain during the first few holes played my best round ever. Great layout, forgiving but still a challenge with smaller greens and hidden bunkers. Staff was friendly, and the prices for food and bev were solid also!

Coming back

First time here, got a hot deal. Great layout, tough challenge from any tee, greens were in nice shape. Course is making a nice comeback from Texas drought with the helpful rain; still have some issues but show me a public course that doesn’t:
I’m always encouraged to see crew out sanding divots always tells me they care when i see that. Use your sand on carts to fill in a couple divots!

the food was awesome, recommend the Rachel. Good call by friendly staff, can’t wait to return .

Not as expected

Booked a tee time after looking at some of the reviews so I was expecting to play a great course. But boy was I wrong, definitely not worth the money.

Course needs improvement

Fairways are in dismal conditions and are as hard as cart path, you’ll get 30-50 yard roll. Greens are in good shape but overall enjoyment is lost when hitting your approach or pitches.Hopefully in the next few months, course conditions will improve. Course is not worth $50 tee time
