Houston national is the public one - Sterling g is private. They do a good job of maintaining the course. However the fairways need at a minimum, mowing. Otherwise it’s a wonderful track. Enjoy and remember to take care of the course.

This is where PGA ‘s Shell Houston Open used to be played. Course conditions are still pristine, especially this time of the year. Pace of play is on point, the Marshalls are friendly. Only qualm I have is that they don’t offer water stations, probably bcoz of Covid-19, but it’s high time we resume normalcy.

This course has potential. It is beautifully laid out, but the superintendent doesn't take care for the course. The greens are literally bare with spotty grass growth. Your ball will bounce like its on an unfinished cement slab. Don't waste your money here.

Excellent course layout. Very friendly staff. Marvelous views of the gulf coast. Must play if in Houston for a visit.

I have payed here numerous times. The course layout is very good and challenging as well. Unfortunately, it does not drain well at all so please DO NOT play this course after rain. Wait at least 2 days for course conditions to improve before play.

This is a well maintained course for a fairly affordable price. The staff is friendly, and the course is quite well laid out. Be on time for your tee time, as they are usually busy. Even with their back to back grouping, pace of play is awesome. The marshals keep it moving. Pick your spots when teeing of and your round will work out quite well.

The staff here are the WORST! Not an exergeration. There is an old woman at the counter who is extremely rude, and the club manager's philosophy is to say that whatever the old says goes and will not listen to or accept any feedback whatsoever. In addition to this, they will charge you $5 for a cart after you have already paid green fees online that clearly indicate CART INCLUDED. To make matters worse, the pairings are whack with up to 7 people playing in a group, NO KIDDING. You can only imagine what this did to our pace of play, especially since there was a 5 some in front. We skipped 4 holes just to be stuck behind a slow twosome, members who seemed quite comfortable with the slow pace. The course layout is quite nice, but nothing is worth this much hustle. Believe me, you are better off paying full price at a different course, any other course than this one.

We were there for a tournament. First Zack refused to provide range balls which were included in the prepaid tournament fee. Then, the starter refused to let us on because our ticket had $0.00. It's a prepaid deal!! Had to drive all the way back to the clubhouse, twice. Eventually, they (Zack and Starter) talked on walkie talkie. I am of the opinion that they should have done this right at the beginning instead of sending us back to the clubhouse. Once on the course, the marshall kept following us. When we asked why, he said that the ladies behind us "who are members feel delayed." This went on till the 8th hole, where we finally agreed that we would let them through at the turn. Believe it or not, they stopped at the clubhouse and spend half an an hour there, knowing full well that we were expecting them to play through. The saga with the marshall begins again on hole 10 and goes on till the end of the round. It took 8 hours to play this round and even at the end, when we complained to David the head pro, he was dismissive and called us liars. For ten years, we have played this tournament on a variety of course through out the Greater Houston Area. Never have we had such horrible an experience.

I always have a good time when I play this course. It's degree of difficulty depends on which combo of nine's played as well as the tees from which you play. Expensive course on all accounts, unless you find a deal. Most unappealing is the food; the burgers are dry, cardboard like ($12). Hot dogs are good but at $6, you might as well bring your own snack. Otherwise, enjoy the course. It's also good for walking as the tees are placed right next to the greens.

I really enjoyed this course. It is well priced for value. The course is in excellent shape and the greens roll true to form. Enjoyed every bit of play here. Would certainly recommend it.

I have often found this course to be in excellent condition. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The only issue is with the food. It's highly priced and barely delivers. Otherwise, bring your own snack and enjoy the course. Certainly recommend it especially if you have a deal.

I have played the easier non tournament La Quinta course but this was my first time playing El Dorado Course. It was in excellent condition, challenging course, well worth your money. The staff is always very friendly and willing to help in anyway possible. For a city owned course, the facilities are in perfect condition. Feels more like a country club setting. I will however note that a better chef might enhance the food experience, especially if you get a real meal (i.e.) burgers and fries, salad, etc. not hot dogs and chips.

This was my first time playing this course. I paid via a coupon as I cannot perceive paying $90 for a round of golf. Played in the middle of the week, less traffic and cheaper deal. Awesome course, well maintained. If you can, please walk the course. It will give you a better experience. Disappointed that I wasn't allowed to walk, otherwise, I would certainly recommend playing here. Give yourself a lot of time and be patient when playing here. You will get holes that fit your game and those that will really challenge you. Enjoy :)

One of the nice public courses in Houston. The undulations certainly make it worth the time (and drive). Certainly recommend it during the week when it is not so crowded. Weekends can get a little crazy, but the pace of play takes care of that.

I played this course on a deal and would play it again if deal is available. Would never pay the regular fees that the course asks for. Only problem I had was that patrons (members) did not seem too happy that the public was invited.

I made my first eagle from 157 yards at the 410 yard hole no.13. This was my third round at Cinco and except for the prices, it is a well maintained course. Will add this course to my annual schedule.
