Greatwood Golf Club

overall very good course - went when doing mainteance due to harvey

When I booked my round I did not know that the course was in process of sanding all of its greens.

The course was almost empty, but the greens were unplayable. 1/2 inch of sand in some spots.

I'm glad that Greatwood is finally doing real maintenance to their course after 15 years of neglect. I would prefer that they announce major projects.

They have gps guided golf carts that shut down and automatically stop on the paths. The cart stopped at least 10 times and I wasn’t even off the cart path They constantly chime! It’s so annoying. I won’t be back until it gets fixed.

Round had red flags before even setting foot on the course. Course manager/owner was rude. Booked a tee time for 2 and politely asked the day before to add a third. Was told no, we would have to re book our 815 am time for 340 pm if we wanted to add a third and we would be paired with 2 other golfers because they were so busy. This was a lie as we were NOT paired with anyone and it was not busy. Secondly, the addition of GPS on the cart was annoying af. Cart would shut off if you got 6 feet from the path, and would not start again until you backed up. Constantly beeping if you go 8 mph instead of 6. Greens were horrible. Old divots everywhere that had been there so long unrepaired, that they turned into pockmarksl littering the greens. Hole placement changes so shoddy they had rings of sand around previous hole placements on most greens. Would not recommend and will not be coming back to a course ran but such a rude person. And they have no military discount either. FYI River Pointe in Richmond TX owned by this guy too so that one will not be getting any more of my patronage either.

A nice course to play but we didn’t care for the GPS carts.

The GPS in the cart was not calibrated properly. The cart would shut down on the cart path stating we were out of bounds. I had to abandon the cart on the cart path and walk since it would not let me go forwards or backwards due to the improper settings. I would play the course again as long as the GPs is disconnected

Greens were in bad shape. Half of the holes were cart path only even though it was bone dry. As you went to hole 1 it stated 90 degree rule.
GPS alarm is annoying as you approach stop signs and underpasses

The course was in good shape way better than a couple of years ago.Did enjoy the new carts with the gps.

First time playing the course. If Greatwood was great when it first opened it’s Mediocre-wood now.

Practice area was poorly maintained; some fairways were open dirt and unplayable. The greens were the only well maintained aspect of the course.

Can’t say much about staff as we never saw any on the course after a fairly terse greeting from the Starter. At a few points we could have used a marshal to speed up play (4.5 hours; guy playing said the say before was 5); we waited on every hole; while having the threesome behind us hit into us on several holes.

Given the price they charged I was not expecting much and in that sense I was still underwhelmed. Essentially they are comparable to tracks charging 1/2 as much.

Needless to say the next weekend my club is closed for tournament play I will seek out another course.

Looks like the slumlord owners are finally spending a few Pennie’s on the course.

Applaud the efforts to upgrade with new GPS equipped carts but ours and the guy in front of us were malfunctioning, hopefully they can fix that. Lot's of maintenance around the course with cart path only holes made for a slower pace, looking forward to the end result of the work

Front 9 ok. But back 9 a nightmare to too much water and too many sand traps. It was very frustrating to hit blind and there’s water.
There’s a huge drainage ditch which winds all around. I am not a long hitter, but come on, from Whites I would have had to lay up. From Womens tee, which I used, I cannot imagine most women even able to hit over.
So close and cost is good, but looks like I have to move on.
ALSO cart kept locking up even when we were in path! They said “we are working on it”.

This course needs a lot of work...There is no grass on some fairways ...The tee boxes need work done
