My buddies and I like the layout, especially the back 9. Perhaps the two best finishing holes around for a public course. However, there is no marshall so pace of play can be an issue.

My buddies and I keep returning to Greatwood because the back 9 is, in our opinion, the best back 9 for a public course in the area. Unfortunately, it is hit and miss regarding pace of play. Wednesday Nov 25 we teed off at 12:15. Two groups ahead of us was a 5-some, followed by a 2-some. They were both extremely slow!!!! By the time we finished the 4th hole it was almost 2:00!! While driving to the 5th hole we looked over and noticed there was no one on the 7th tee box and no one on the green on # 6. So, we skipped holes 5 and 6 (and the 5-some!!!) and finished the front and back 9 by 4:15 pm. I am pretty sure the 5-some and everybody behind them failed to finish. They need a marshall.

The only thing that keeps us coming back to this course is the back nine. Simply the best back nine in the Greater Houston area. Other than that the pro shop is unfriendly and the pace of play is sometimes okay and sometimes horrible. No marshal.

Excellent condition. The back nine is some of Carlton Gipson’s best work. The par 5 18th is spectacular and challenging. Only negative: the last two times we played there in late October and early November they allowed one to a cart, due to COVID. Today pro shop said they stopped doing that in September. I said not so!!! We had own carts the two prior weeks. But She refused to allow it unless I paid an additional $20, which I did.

My friends and I are very familiar with courses designed by Carlton Gipson. Other than Old Orchard, which no longer exists, this is the best Gipson design we have played.
Great holes, great value.

We have played this course a number of times. Normally in very good condition, especially the greens. Today we paid 65 and then during the course of the round the marshal appeared and said that holes 3 and 5 were only available for putting. When we got to hole 9 we discovered that the tee boxes were closed and you were only permitted to hit a 130 yard approach shot. None of this was mentioned by the pro shop when they took our money. Very dissatisfied.

Best course for the money! Three nines, so rarely have to wait. Great layout. Price is less than anywhere else.

My friends started playing pecan grove about 4 months ago. It is now our favorite place to play. It has three nines, Greens are smooth.

Greens are close to PGA Tour quality. Fairways are in great condition too. Wonderful course.

Everything was top notch. Fairways and greens in great shape. Can’t wait to go back.
