A nice challenge

I'm from Houston Texas and it's pretty flat so the changes in elevation was a special challenge for me. I enjoyed my round and will play here again when I'm in town.

Cart path only greens are good

It was the day after a heavy rain so the fairways was very wet (cart path only) but I was pleasantly surprised how good the greens rolled. I had nobody in front or behind me to slow me down or rush me and I completed my round in 3 hours (solo). I got a chance to work on mt tee shoots and hope I can repeat what I've learned.

Tee Time

Man the weather was great and a great day for golf... It seems lot's of folks had the same idea... Some kind of way the front 9 played smoothly but the back 9 caught a log jam... The only real problem I had was my golf cart stopped on me about 3 or 4 times on the front 9 and I had to get a replacement cart.

Less than 2 weeks after Harvey

I appreciate being able to get out and play after dealing with all the rain and flooding. Several homes on the course had been flooded but I was pleasantly surprised and how good of shape the fairways and greens where. Several Tee boxes was move up but everything else was good.

Getting stricter

Management is getting a lot more strict on the "golfnow" tee times. They make you ride in the cart with whoever else booked the same golfnow tee time. The stopped allowing you to go out early and will make you wait for whoever has booked the same golfnow tee time before they let you tee off. The greens rolled good and the fairway was in good shape. Either I was hitting the ball father than normal or the yardage was off that day.

Long ball

The Bayou presents the biggest challenges so your driver, woods & long irons will need to be on point. I did not like the greens very much because they were much to slow and didn't roll true. I think once you play it a few times it could grow on you.

Not bad considering

It was the day before a national holiday (4th of July) So it was a lot of folks playing but once we was able to tee off things went smoothly. Fairways was in good shape and the greens roll pretty good but some seemed a lot faster than others. I would play this course again when I am in Cincinnati. I passed it the 1st time and had to make a U turn to come back to it (needs better signage)

Short course but fun

I like most of the changes that they have made since they reopened it. They thinned out the trees and that allows for faster play. They changed the opening hole to a par 3 and changed the few par 5's to par 4's. They do a pretty good job of keeping up the course. The narrow fairways and the par 3's I think offer the biggest challenges .

Cart Path Only

It was a very nice day for golf weather wise but there was still standing water on the course. They have 3 nice hole courses to choose from and when you get there they assign you to the 2 that you are to play for your 18 holes which I think is nice because you get to change up if you play there more than once. It was a very slow day due to the fact that 1 of the 9 holes was closed due to standing water and then with cart only and a soggy fair way it was like 5 hours of play but we made the vest of it and made some new friends.

Fun place to play

We always enjoy playing here. They said they plan to be closed now for about 9 months for upgrades and repairs. The cart paths I thought was the worse part of the course with all the pot holes. Several nice challenges on your drives to carry the bayou or lay up but the bunkers did need work. The sand was more mud and dirt.

Tee it up

I enjoy playing here the greens roll really good, the fairways are kept up nice. The homeowners that I've met that have home on the coarse are really nice and friendly. Most of the players seem nice but I have seen where golfers have been somewhat disrespectful but not to often.

Houston we have a problem

This is a very poorly maintained golf course. What greens? It's mostly dirt... There is nothing fair about the fairways... We lost balls in the fairways often, They have had the par 5, 11th and the 12th hole closed for repairs for almost 2 years and have made zero effort to fix them. The replacement hole don't have yard markers. This at best is a 18 hole driving range.

It.s a fun course

I enjoyed playing here but my biggest concern was the lack of visible yard markers ie 200, 150 or 100 yards. I've gotten use to the blue. white and red sticks or at least the a tree... The greens rolled nicely, fairway was in good condition and tee boxes was good. I was told they are under new management so I am looking forward to what they might do.

Ny 1st time playing this course

The greens was if very good condition but the most all of the fairways had work being done to them. It seems there have been changes made to the course layout because my GPS had a completed different back nine than the one we played. Most of the cart path markers to point to the next hole was missing. I'm use to there being a sign of some sort at the tee box showing what number hole you are playing along with the yardage for each tee. I had to rely on the score card. I played with two other golfers that had played the course once before so they helped to navigate which direction to go. I would play this course again.

Rain

In all fairness it had rained about 4 out of 5 days before we played and the night before we played it rain hard and heavy. So it was cart path only the fairways with soaked it was water everywhere but it is a nice course and I do plan to go back again. Also they were doing some minor renovations to the course.

This was my 1st time playing here and I enjoyed it... We got a little confused looking for one of the tee boxes. But all in all I enjoyed it! We got in 18 holes and beat the rain.

Nice round

I enjoyed my 9 holes but the fairway grass was too long and especially the cut right outside the greens. But it was like that on all 9 holes so I adapted...

I just started playing golf about 2 years & I've only played about 15 golf courses but this was the best one by far. Thanks to "golfnow" with their great hot deals I would love to play here several more times. Every hole is protected by sand traps or water.

After the 2 weeks of cold temps

I enjoyed playing this course. This one one of the 1st good weather days in at least 2 weeks here in Houston so it was crowed. The greens was ok but kind of on the fast on most holes. I plan to play here again soon!
