Moody Gardens is a course with plenty of water and other hazards that is set up to play with the prevailing SSE winds. We played the course with 20-25 NNW winds, making it an extremely challenging but fun day. Greens are excellent, fast and true and the wind made keeping the ball low a necessity. Longer holes played into the wind instead of downwind and we were able to hit shorter clubs into holes that are normally hard to reach into the wind. Nice course to walk as well, as the layout is mainly flat and plenty of birds to add to the view.

Fairways & Greens in superb condition, not a bad lie to be found. At 69 years old, played the white tees at 6,000 yards and challenge was perfect. Shot placement is critical and many forced carries are required to hit greens. Fairways are generous and there are some pretty steep bunkers greenside. Great course and a interesting and fair challenge from the right set of tees. My favorite course.

Having booked a 5:00PM tee time, I was concerned that I would not be able to finish 18 holes before darkness arrived. Playing as a single, I arrived a bit early and would be paired with a twosome that had not yet arrived. The pro shop attendant said if I wished, the tee was open and I could go off early but I would be following a league. He did propose if I wished, I could go off the back nine and play that first because if was fairly open. This worked out superbly and I was able to finish in plenty of time before darkness. The course conditions as usual were perfect and the course is very playable from the right set of tees with accuracy at a premium.

The Bull has become one of my favorite courses to play, the course is in superb condition with excellent lies on the bent grass fairways. Jack Nicklaus loved the high fade and you can almost see him thinking of that shot as he designed this course. There are forced carries throughout, but bail out areas do exist. Important to play the right set of tees so you have manageable shots into many of these greens. You will not be disappointed!

The day starts with a first class practice facility, range, putting green and chipping green/bunker. I believe the fairways and greens are bent grass and course is in excellent shape. Home of the Shell Houston open until 2018 you can see how it would hold up to a pro event. Heavily bunkered in fairways and greenside. Water comes into play and shots missing the fairway may catch the sloping rough and end up in the water. Playing the right set of tees is critical to a fun day. A 210 yard driver. I played the white tees and it was a great experience. Highly recommended!

Played with the usual 15mph SE wind making the first 4 holes on the back nine challenging, greens are perfect, fairways are very good and bunkers are very playable. Pace of play was excellent and the usual variety of birds was present. Plenty of water and brush to lose a ball in and some tough forced carries into greens make solid contact a must or the wind will make you come up short. Just an excellent experience, a great course to walk as it is a flat layout. Staff is excellent. Great practice facility with chipping green and bunker.

Played the Bull the day after a day of all day rain. The course had drained exceedingly well including bunkers. Cart path only was understandable but course was not soggy at all. Lie in the fairway was amazing almost like ball was teed up. Kudos to the groundskeeper!

Moody gardens is a great golf experience with fast, true greens and water coming into play on many holes. Differing wind directions make it like playing a different course each time. Many different birds, ducks and cranes make for a great nature walk. Highly recommended.

It was really fun to play the same course the pros played the Houston Open on. As a senior who drives the ball 210-220 yards, I thought the course played fair from the men's white tees and didn't ask me to hit impossible shots. Condition was great as always and the greens present a challenge in judging speed and break. Very enjoyable!

Moody gardens is in great shape with any ball in the fairway getting a great lie with a little fluff underneath. Staff is top notch and stater does a great job, pairing up twosomes and singles.

Former home of PGA tour stop and a superbly conditioned excellent track. Bunkers and water come into play but fairly.
Excellent starter and staff. Speed of play finished in 3.5 hours. Loved it and highly recommended!

Course is in overall great condition, it even appears fairways are beginning to fluff up a bit due to recent warm weather. By far best greens I've played on in Texas. Staff is superb as I recently had out of state guests and we were treated royally. Great practice area and range. Great birds and wildlife. Had to be 70 turtles on the shore of #7.

Course is in very nice condition. .I would rate the greens as perfect. .course is designed with the prevailing gulf wind in mind. Multiple tee boxes makes finding the right length easy. ..lot of water generally laterally. .love playing here. Finished in 3.5 hours..nice range and practice area. .

I have played Sun Mountain several times and love it. I invited my brother-in-law who is a raw beginner to play with me. The course layout and fairways are wide enough to keep most of even a beginner's shots in play and easily to find, making for a pleasant experience and hooked him on golf. Challenges exist around the greens and with numerous bunkers but layout is friendly enough to make hitting a ball in the desert or unplayable happen only on a big mishit. Staff was helpful with free water in the heat 100 degrees and we stayed comfortable. Great time!
