OMG the MOSQUITOES !!!

Course was great as usual, but mosquitoes
made it almost unplayable. Went through 2 cans of spray. Management, please try to do something as it really takes away from the experience.

Disappointing Conditions

We have played Moody Gardens many times, but in all honesty this is the worst we've ever seen it. To be fair, it's a transitional time for turf, but unlike any of the other courses in the area, Moody was covered with tufts of poa anna, which was particularly a problem on the greens. Even more inexcuseable, the tee boxes were virtually all bare dirt & looked like the markers hadn't been moved in months. In addition, the front 9 was very wet, even though it hadn't rained in over a week.

All in all, we won't be coming back anytime soon, so please be forewarned.

Please do something about the tee boxes!

Course was in decent shape everywhere but tee boxes. The black tees we played had very little grass, & what was there was primarily weeds. Greens were great, everything else good, but the black tee boxes were terrible. Please do better.

Don’t Recommend

Have played here many times & this is the worst I’ve seen it. Front 9 fairways had little grass, back was better. All greens were lumpy & slow. No food or drink available & water on course was brown & tasted bad. We won’t be back anytime soon & don’t recommend it at any price.

This course usually has very good greens. Today they were bumpy & slow. Conditions seem to have suffered in Houston heat.

Greens were rugged

Greens were not up to usual standard & pace of play was so slow we left after 16 holes .I've played here a lot, so I hope this is a minor blip and doesn't become the new standard.

Don’t Plan on a Drink After Golf

Course conditions were good, greens were great, but tee boxes were terrible. Range balls are horrendous & bar is always closed by the time we finish.

C’Mon Moody

We play this course probably once a month. Greens were fantastic, course conditions were good. Tee boxes were very rough with little grass.

More irritating, the range balls there are terrible! 4 different people mentioned it on the range. Come on Moody, if you want to be a 1st class facility you shouldn’t have range balls that look like you stole them from Bayou in Texas City!

Wow Moody Gardens!

I've played this course many times, but less so as their prices have gone up lately. Yesterday, the greens were very good, however the tee boxes were terrible & the fairways just a bit better. I realize this is a challenging time for turf in Texas, but Moody was much worse than any of the other muni's in the area. On top of that, the clubhouse (what there is of it) was closed when we finished at 4PM. Overall very disappointing & we won't be back anytime soon.

If you're thinking of playing there do yourself a favor & head to The Wilderness in Lake Jackson, much better course for similar $

Can anyone at Blackhorse rake a trap?

Quick review that boils down to one thing. Course & conditions were good with one glaring error, ALL of the traps looked like the surface of the moon! It was so bad we decided to allow a "rake & drop" after ending up in innumerable footprints. To be fair, I assume the traps were raked at the beginning of the day, but by the time we played mid-day they were unplayable, so it has to be a player problem. Blackhorse, pls address this, your facility is too good for this.

Frankly for the 1 hr. drive & the $ I probably wouldn't go back.

Can We Rake A Trap Please?

Greens & turf were great but there wasn't a raked trap in the place. This course is too pricey for traps that look like the Galveston beach. C'mon, you can do better than that!

Greens are work in progress

Bay Forest usually has very good greens. Right now they’re working on them & in the difficult period between winter & spring. I’m sure they’ll be good again in a couple weeks.

OMG The Rough!

Have played GC of Houston many times & have never seen the rough as penal as it was yesterday. That & the wind made for a very tough day, but that's what you should expect from a tour course.

Great track but be prepared to struggle at times.

C’mon, Rake the Traps!

To be fair, greens & fairways were in great shape. However, traps haven’t been raked in months. I realize they don’t want players to rake but there’s no reason the can’t be raked once a day. Some had grass growing in them & many were almost unplayable. This course is too expensive for that. Come on Moody,, you’re better than that!
