Course was in good shape

Course was in good d shape
Some of the tee boxes were very hard and difficult to put a tee in the ground.
Near one of the greens, our cart and the cart of the person playing with us went into restricted mode. We had to down the cart path and turn the cart around and then back up the cart path past the restricted area. Both carts were on the cart path when the restricted lock out occurred. The group behind didn’t seem to have the same issue
Extremely strange

Great course!

I have played this course once before and it was in great shape then. This time did not disappoint. With the recent heat(and lack of rain) I was surprised that the fairways weren't hard and fast like most courses in the area. They apparently have a great watering system. Greens rolled fast and true yet were very receptive. The cost is usually a bit out of my price range since I don't play often enough to justify however, I received a great rate on Golfnow and couldn't pass it up even though it was in the "heat of the day". Would highly recommend this course!

Great Course with one Drawback

The biggest drawback to the course was the lack of watering stations. There is only one spot on the course where you can fill up on water and that is at the turn. This is not adequate to insure that golfers can stay hydrated during hot weather thereby increasing the chance that golfers could be exposed to heat exhaustion and potentially heat stroke.

Awesome course

Probably the best conditions I have seen on a public course. Pace of play was right at 4 hours which is great. Every hole on the El Dorado course looks like you are playing on a professional course that PGA would play on.

A hidden gem in Houston. Eldorado course is not that difficult and yet very challenging. The layout of the golf course is beautiful.

Great value, and my new favorite public course

I found this course through a referral a couple months ago. I think I have played it over 5 times by now. Usually am able to find a good deal (value) mid-week or late afternoon on the weekend. Course is really well maintained for a public course, nice big fairways and greens in good shape. Carts are comfy and have GPS, though they do buzz a bunch if you deviate off course even a little bit. Course could use more water stations but I definitely enjoy playing here often now and I drive in from Pearland.

Challenging golf course

The golf course is in very good condition, plenty of hazard and challenging. The greens are a bit slower than normal probably because of the hot weather

Sanded Greens terrible

Fairways were in excellent shape.

Greens were the worst even. Newly punched and sanded. Were uneven and impossible to put.

Recommend waiting a week till course is in better shape.
