Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe

This is a challenging course, but it is also rewarding for good shots. It has water and sand traps that influence your shot decisions. A couple of greens had some spots, but the majority were in great shape for this time of the season. If you hit in the rough, take some mosquito repellant, it will come in handy. We teed off early and finished shortly after 10AM. It was getting crowded when we left. There are a few areas of cart path that need to be redone.

I played this course before it was bought out by the "Margaritaville" brand. Went back hoping that the course would be in better shape than in years past. Sadly, it was much much worse... Greens are beyond recovery, water filled most of the bunkers (water that had obviously been there for some time) and the fairways were not well maintained. This is another one of those courses that has such great potential. Tight fairways, great layout, and good green complexes. I really wish the resort would spend some time, effort, and money into fixing the course up. Would not recommend spending hard earned money here.

As in Tee box, fairways, bunkers, cart paths, and greens in need of some major attention. Is a fun layout and perfect for beginners but definitely is not resort quality golf. If you don’t care about scoring it is a bare minimum (as in bare or minimum grass) to play on.

Played late afternoon and course was not that busy. They were getting prepared to host a Texas UIL High School Golf Regional tournament. I've been to this resort several times through different ownership but never played course. The course is tight just like most reviewers say. Water can come into play. The front 9 greens were slower than back 9. Greens could use some improvement but I have played around the Houston area and can say this for other courses as well. I didn't use my driver at all. 2-Driving Iron or 5-Hybrid on most tee shots.

Course is in great shape. Challenging but fair. Staff very friendly.

We have been looking for a home course since moving from Cypress where there are a number of nice public courses. The layout is not to bad and the course is challenging for novices such as myself. I will be playing this course more often. Good value, especially during the twilight hours.

Greens are pock marked and unplayable.
Fairways have leaves everywhere.

With a little extra TLC this could be a good course

The layout of this course is the only slightly positive thing. The maintenance is nonexistent. Greens are legit the worst I have seen in years. There is mud and leaves everywhere. They must have forgotten about the golf when they pumped all that Jimmy Buffett money into the resort. It’s not worth playing for any price.

I played at 7:30am. There was only one group ahead of us so the pace was great. I read the reviews before going to play there. I had played this course many years ago and I remembered the layout was great. All in all the experience was good. The layout remains great, there are a lot of bare spots in the course, the bunkers were not in good shape but the great majority of the course was good. Greens are not as bad as people make them sound, Yes they are not perfect but the ball rolls good and it doesn't affect play.
The course holds water so if it rains the days before I can’t see that working right. Over all a great experience for what I paid, the staff great, the facilities great, I saw a lot of workers trying to make the course better so I hope they will pick the course up to what it once was since it was awesome. I will visit them again!!

I did love the layout of the course, but the greens are in bad shape with multiple types of grass. Also if you have heavy rain the day before do not play here

Enjoyed this round a lot! Greens aren’t great, a lot of crab grass on some of them. Other than that the lay out is fun and challenging and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. I’ll definitely come back and play again!

The course itself was taken care of. The greens were complete trash except for the two by the clubhouse. Greens were missing grass and/or full of weeds. When you’re putting from 5’ out and it’s bouncing off the ground from going over the weeds, it’s a problem. Several bunkers had 6” of water sitting in the bottom of them. I won’t book a tee time here again. Hard to believe until you see it first hand. Absolutely the worst greens I’ve ever played on.
