La Cantera Golf Club
Played On 01/26/2019Wonderful course, yet humbleing!
The 4 Amigos gathered for our first go at LaCantera resort course. What a beautiful layout, and the staff and ammenities are top shelf! Send mama to the spa, pack the ice chest, get the camera, and tee it up!
From the moment we dropped our arsenal of overly expensive and overly analyzed clubs for this type of course, we were met by the friendliest staff from check in to the 19th hole. The starter met us on the practice green and gave us all the course tips you could ask for if you were a first time victim of this course. The tee to green conditions were excellent, and the greens were excellent, running 12 downhill and 10.5 uphill. There lies the delimma!! Figuring that out!
We're pretty good golfers, but take a word of advice. Walk around your putt!!! Maybe it's the recent possibility of shifting magnetic north and south poles, but there were a LOT of 3 putts! By the 10th hole, we were lag putting 15 footers! Maybe it was the bloody Mary's? If you plan to play again, take notes on the greens!
Overall, it was a wonderful day, and can't wait to play La Cantera resort course again! I know I left 10 strokes in the greens, and I'm going back to claim my 75!
We played in January, and course conditions were very good. I can only imagine playing this course when its plush and in pristine condition! Don't pass this course up!
Thanks to everyone at La Cantera. It was a great day!

5+ hours? I don't agree with allowing 5-somes on the weekends during peek hours, especially high handicap players. Made the round miserable! Counted 7 groups on 2 holes. The marshall did nothing to speed up play, and the starter kept packing em In! We were 25 minutes behind pace when we teed up on #2. Seriously considered quitting, but football sucks right now, so what the he'll. Beer was cold! Really nice greens. It's a shame that they sucked the fun right out of it!
Golf Club of Houston - Tournament Course
Played On 02/26/2017Love this course!
Love this course! It's always nice to play a course you see the pros play on TV. To put yourself in the same spots you see them play on a Sunday afternoon, and see how you can measure up. Nice!
The course is in excellent condition. The fairways are smooth and always provide a perfect lie. The rough, while thick and grabby, is fair. The greens while smooth and true, were a little slower than usual (about a 9 - 9.5), but typical for this time of year. They are getting ready for the Houston Open, so letting the course fill out for tournament setup.
It was cartpath only to keep the playing area in good condition, so no complaints there, however it does slow your round down to 4-4.5 hours.
Our fore-caddy, Melvin, is top notch. He provided input when requested, but pretty much let us play our game without interference. Great personality and fun to have along.
Of course, it's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. We try to get GCOH in our monthly rotation once a month.
Cypress Lakes Golf Club
Played On 11/08/2015Nice course!
The course is always in great condition. Even after rain the day before, fairways were nice, rough was fair, and the greens are always slick, but fair and true. Staff is friendly and helpful. Hot dog buns need some attention, but the staff is fun! Always on the top 3 on my list to play in the area. Good value for the price!
Ken,
Keeping our course in top condition is always a priority of ours, so we are happy to hear such great feedback on it! Thank you for the great review and saying we are one of your top 3 courses! We hope to see you out again on the greens very soon!
