A difficult course if you aren’t sure where you are going, especially in the winter without a map showing the yardage to trouble spots. The positives are a very friendly staff and superb, true greens that roll very fast. New carts and good cart paths provide for a better experience

I’m all for making amends for winter play conditions but Grand Oaks is in need of a lot of maintenance. I was in the fairway and hitting off of dirt 50% of the time. The greens were rolled and in good condition. I don’t plan to return

Newport was in better winter shape than anticipated, and the staff was very friendly. The 18th was an enjoyable closing hole. I will come back when In Houston

My wife and I really enjoyed Newport. Very friendly staff and especially loved the finishing hole! A little wet but I’ve played worse in January in Houston. Greens were rolled and ran true. Could have used a little more leaf vacuuming on the edges, but overall pretty good conditions

East River 9 has a lot of potential with night play, a first tee that hits into the view of the Houston Skyline, a very good restaurant and bar, golf range and pickleball courts. The course is new, so there is still ground under repair in several places, but the difficult undulating greens and edges that roll off onto the fairway make up for the short par 3 layout .Worth the time if you want to work on your short game and have some good food and drinks after.

Only had time for nine, so played the front with my wife. Enjoyed the day. Tees/ greens in good shape and starter placed us well with no waiting for the group ahead. It didn’t seem like the front matched the slope rating, so I assume the. back is tougher. Will be back to play that! Good experience! and really nice clubhouse!

I had not played Klein Creek in almost four years. They are obviously trying to improve the experience by getting rid of the broken asphalt cart paths in favor of rolled dirt/gravel, and calling dirt laced bunkers unplayable with a drop zone and a plan to grass those bunkers over in the future. Still a challenging course and tees and greens were pretty good after almost a full summer of play. Carts could use some sand to help out the grounds crew on tees and approaches. We got behind a very slow foursome and the staff needed to monitor that and goad them on to pick up the pace. All in all, a better experience versus under the old ownership, and improvements were noticeable. Worth the money.

This course is going to take some time and groundskeeper work before I would rate it higher. Poa Annua covers the fairways and greens. The traps were not managed and needed sand. I only played the front nine and two holes had some imagination. The back nine on the card looked a little more challenging. It’s just a new course that needs professional work to be rated higher. The staff was friendly, and the pace of play was fine. If you are just looking to find a lower cost course and not worried about your lie or true putts, it will fill that expectation.

For December, the course played well and was in good shape. The tees and greens were maintained well

Panorama is still one of the best values in the North Houston area. In good winter shape, fresh sand in the bunkers and a friendly staff. My wife and I really enjoyed the day.

Silverthorn was in good winter shape and it was a very enjoyable round. Pace of play was slow, even with an organized and spaced length between foursomes. Back nine is tighter than the front, and challenging layout overall. Solid value in San Antonio.
I’m old school, and believe that there are only a few places left for solitude- planes and golf courses. Guys who can’t stand to be away from loud music while golfing need to stuff some AirPods in their ears and let others play in peace.

Pearland is a good course for the money, with a challenging layout and was in good winter shape. The staff was attentive and friendly. They need to start smoothing out some of the cart paths. Overall, good day there!

The course was in good winter shape. The starter was very courteous to show us some tips about the course. Layout was quite wide open with few trees, but still enjoyable golf.

While Panorama was quite busy and we waiting on our shots 70% of the time, the course was in good winter shape and the greens rolled true. I appreciate the driving range with a compliment of range balls to get warmed up. It’s a solid course layout and a solid value for the money

The course was in good winter shape, and the greens were fast and true. Pin placements made it challenging and finished in 3 1/4 hours

La Quinta was a good layout, fairly wide fairways, and in good winter shape. Great value and a really enjoyable day!

The course was in fairly good winter shape. The greens were probably not as good in winter quality as Clear Creek which were faster and more true. Pretty wide open and stayed in the fairways the majority of the time. Pin placements were challenging to making up for more GIR holes than usual for me. Overall, good value.

River Bend is in great condition, and the greens are excellent right now. Pace of play was not speedy, but not distractingly slow
