Excellent experience

I take a group of 12-16 players to play various courses in Houston weekly and it was our 1st experience at Gus Wortham and one of the best in the last 3 years of any course. The course is in great shape and the greens probably the best in Houston now. Best value for money. Mark Rossi is amazing and all the arrangements were done professionally and flawlessly - we will be back soon. Gert

Enjoyed my round at Gus Wortham, can’t wait to play it again. I did not play as well as I would have liked, but having a little more knowledge of it now will help. Once again I enjoyed it and can’t wait to play again.

Give it a few weeks for the the holes and sand to be gone, but still worth it. Course is always fun and challenging.

And after the round there is a Mexican Seafood restaurant by the entrance that is good too.

Great course run by city, but needs help running the place. Foursome in front of us didn 't belong no the course. They parked 50 yards short of the green most holes and had 3 to 4 holes open in front of them.
