Tour 18 Houston

The best of ALL worlds

The concept of compiling signature holes from different courses into a single 18 hole course isn't new, but Tour 18 Houston has NAILED IT! The very first hole replicates Harbour Town's famous 18th hole. And it replicates it WELL. From there, the 2nd hole replicates the famous par 5 6th of Bay Hill. From there, a 3 hole stretch PERFECTLY mimics the iconic "Amen Corner" & anyone whose been there or even watched the Masters on TV can see it. The list goes on, the front 9 ends with an island green that simulates the 17th at TPC Sawgrass, home of the Players Championship. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you're in Houston, this course is a MUST PLAY!

New name, New clubhouse, YES!

This used to be called Sportsmans Golf Course. I played here a few years ago and wasn't particularly impressed. SOMEONE poured some money into this place and it SHOWS! BEAUTIFUL, modern new clubhouse and EXCELLENT course conditions. Didn't visit the bar or eat in the clubhouse, but I will visit this place again. Course routing is GENIUS, as the "halfway house" is locates at the intersection of hole #'s 5, 11 and 15. MULTIPLE opportunities to grab drinks or snacks or to use a clean restroom. 5 stars!!

Slightly disappointed

Played here Sept 3. Fairways indistinguishable from 1st cut of rough. THAT was disappointing. Greens were "furry" and inconsistent. Conditions USED to be reliably acceptable. We had trouble finding balls that were actually in the fairways. Our group was saddened by the decline in course conditions at University. Hopefully this was an isolated event.

Sure bet

ST Andrews can always be counted on to deliver a great golfing experience. Challenging but fair layout on BOTH courses. Courses are ALWAYS in excellent condition. Greens, fairways and rough are always in great condition. Even the bunkers, which MOST Midwestern courses struggle to make & keep truly playable, are in good shape, allowing you to attempt (& occasionally execute. LOL!) ACTUAL bunker shots. Beverage carts are routinely available. Marshal is usually around attending to pace of play too. The 19th hole is truly enjoyable. All in all, I GLADLY drive past other courses in favor of St Andrew's & will continue to do so.

Greens are DEAD

Played July 4th. The overwhelming majority of the greens on the South & East 9's are DEAD. We were told AT THE TURN, NOT BEFORE. Would have been nice to know BEFOREHAND. The clubhouse is being renovated, so no 19th hole to speak of. Only candy, chips and Gatorade at the turn. The course, with the exception of the greens are actually in decent shape. Bunkers we're hit & miss, some good, others were typical Illinois bunkers with dirt/sand mix. I've always enjoyed Broken Arrow, a little less so this time.

Dependable

Silver Lake is a popular location, probably because it's in the middle of the pack in terms of cost and course conditions. It's not spectacular in any regard, but certainly isn't a goat farm either. Course difficulty is not brutal, but not a pushover either. Same with amenities & everything else that might influence your decision to play here.

Worth the trip

Relatively short, but don't be fooled. Few straight holes, and water is in play on a fee. Uneven lies are everywhere, and the greens have lots of undulations. Every club in your bag will be needed here. Course is beautifully manicured and well maintained. A must play.

Great value & challenging course for all skill levels. Wind is ALWAYS a factor, so take an extra club when in doubt.

Course in GREAT shape!

Blackhawk Trace is always a treat & was again. Fairways were lush, rough was not overly penal, and greens are challenging, with multiple tiers and pronounced undulations. Course is beautifully designed and pleasing to the eye.

Great Course in Great shape

My first time playing here, course was in tournament shape! Absolutely awesome. Not a single brown or bare spot in any fairway. Greens rolled kinda quick but fair. Good looking course as well. 4 sets of tees (I played green, 6400 yards) holes 15 thru 17 can wreck your round if you're not careful (I wasn't) In summation, GO! PLAY THIS COURSE! You'll be glad you did.

Keep it in the short grass

From the tips, this 20 handicap shot 87, a week after shooting 107 at another course of similar difficulty. If you hit the ball far up & down your bag, you may not need your driver much. Go for the fairway and club down. The rough is THICK, deceptively so in many cases. Overall, it's a very playable track that most average golfers should enjoy. Facilities are 4 star.

Conveniently located not to far from the Las Vegas strip. Great pro shop & clubhouse.

Stallion Mountain was the 1st course I ever played in Vegas, years ago. Always wanted to play again, but never did, partly due to the price. Finally, with Golf Now's deep discounts, was able to play again. Luxury, semi-private accommodations are really nice. Course well maintained with fast, challenging greens. Fairways well maintained, rough not overly penal, it's both fun & challenging for golfers of varying skill levels. Would definately play again, but ONLY with Golf Now's help. Regular prices aren't justifiable as course isn't really much to look at.
