Never Disappointed

Second time at Cherry Blossom in 3 weeks after a 7- or 8-year hiatus from the course. Super friendly and helpful staff, course is well-maintained, and has just the right combination of tough and not so tough holes for a handicap in the mid-teens, such as myself. A fantastic "Hot Deal" through Golfnow topped it off, as my wife and I played 18 with a cart for a grand total of $55 for both! Highly recommend this course.

It had been a while...

Played this course for the first time since 2013. Played with my wife who is a beginner, and was still able to play in just under 3.5 hours, so the pace of play was great.

I got a very good deal through Golfnow, which Is why I rated "Value for the Money" as excellent. The staff at Clubhouse and the few we encountered during our round were all super friendly.

The layout of the course is such that if you can hit it fairly straight you rarely encounter serious problems. Minimal trees are a treat for those of us who don't always find the fairway off the tee. There is some water, but other than one par 3 on the back nine it rarely comes into play.

The cart paths are rough in a few spots, and the bunkers weren't as pristine as I remembered, but it's not to the point where I wouldn't play here again. In fact, the Mrs. and I decided we were going to include Cherry Blossom in our "rotation" and try to play it regularly over the coming season.

All in all I recommend this course. Sure, the golf snobs will find ways to pick it apart, but the bottom line is that it's generally well-maintained, it has its challenging holes, the staff was great, and it was a refreshing break from playing Muni's where half the people on the course don't know what they're doing.

I can't speak to the off-course amenities, as we didn't seek them out.

We'll definitely be back.

Always Enjoy Playing Lone Oak

The fairways hadn't "greened up" yet, but were very playable. Greens were in great shape for April, and there was even sand in a few of the bunkers. There are rough spots here and there, but I think you always have to go back to the price to play. I've played at courses that charge twice as much, with similar issues. Looking forward to going back to Lone Oak several times over the course of the summer. It's just challenging enough for a golfer of my skill level, with a few "easy" holes mixed in with some holes that even scratch golfers would likely bogey more times than not.

Always Enjoy Houston Oaks

Course was in great shape on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. A few bunkers were on the rough side, but overall the course is in really good shape. Some challenging holes, and a few holes that even an average golfer can score on. You won't be disappointed playing this course. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the 4 star review! We are working as we speak on the bunkers. We hope to see you back out in 2018!

Get what you pay for

Only cost $16 to play through a Golfnow deal, so I don't think it's fair to review this as if it were a resort-quality course. It is what it is. Fun layout, with some challenging holes. Staff was friendly and courteous.

As for the course itself, well, the greens were in pretty good shape. If you want a good value, and can overlook some deficiencies, by all means play this course. I definitely got my $16 worth...

Maybe it's just my luck...

I enjoy playing this course because it has a mixture of tough and not-so-tough shots, so as not to completely overwhelm the average golfer. The only problem I have is that it's almost impossible to get in a 4-hour round here. Maybe it's pure coincidence, but every single time I've played this course (with 1 exception, when it was very chilly and rainy), the pace seems awfully slow.
