Hi "14stix" Thank you for the awesome review! We are so glad you gave us a try and appreciate your patience after the recent aerification. Thanks for the review, and we hope to see you again in a few weeks once the greens have fully healed.

WHAT A JOKE !!!

Played Woodlands course Green Aerated with NO Notification paid $75 for a piece of crap course, Actually came back to play a second time after paying $50 without greens airates 2 weeks ago. Château line should be ashamed of themselves for charging $75 with such poor course conditions was going to join prior to this, but will never come back again.

Course conditions

For a ‘resort’ course
The Woodlands lacks in
A : Customer Service
No one to greet you on arrival or on finishing
C: Conditions
Greens were great on the positive side
Fast and true
On the negative rough around the edges of the fairways and dough
Lost of rocks and hard pan
Challenging layout but the tougher edges are hard on your coubs

Technology - less enjoyment more anxiety

The pace reminders stole joy from the day. We had great weather, an early start, no one pushing behind us, but the constant reminder of our pace not keeping up made us experience unnecessary pressure. The downside of technology.
