Pricey round for poor quality of play

The course is in below average shape for the price of the round. Not sure if it was the people playing or course management but we had to wait 10-15 minutes at every tee box for the two groups in front of us to tee off. Either way, the Marshal should’ve taken control, we had a group of 3 and it took us 5 and a half hours to finish a round.

Battleground

Due to the upstairs construction, there was just a single restroom for men. The staff were kind and professional, which was appreciated. But I probably wouldn’t play there again till the upstairs is complete!

Not terrible

Lots of bad reviews that aren't really fair. Sure there are crappy spots on at least half the greens. But everything else is in good shape given the weather. Well worth $25 probably even $30

Worst condition I’ve seen in Houston

This course was once a beautiful course and well worth the free fee to play. I don’t know what has happened but it’s not just drought causing course conditions. 15 of the 18 greens are a joke. #3, a par 3 should just be shut down. The green has holes and full of actual sand traps and burnt patches on about 80% of the green. Legit sand traps on greens is inexcusable. Clearly at this point management no longer cares and simply collects green fees to collect them.

The clubhouse is closed. No pro shop. No cart girl. No coolers anymore on the golf carts. All this is in conditions of 100 degree play. Marshall wasn’t even around to control pace of play or groups teeing off at wrong times causing huge backups on the first hole!

I usually play this course about 10 times a year but this will be my last time until I hear course conditions have improved.

Take your money anywhere but here.

Still in bad shape

4 of the 18 greens are in really good shape. The other 14 have various levels of dead spots on them. Most of them have dead spots on the fringe and don't really impact putts. About 5 or 6 greens have dead spots all over them and make them basically unplayable.

Greens need improvement

Greens have improved a lot since last time I have played but still have a ways to go. Some of the tee boxes are very hard but in heat like this, that is expected. Overall for what I paid I think it’s a good deal.

Please let it rain

Course is like so many in Houston area, desperately in need of rain.
Greens, tee boxes and fairways suffering from lack of water and the heat. Fairways and some tee boxes chocked up with thick weeds but it's either that or hard dirt due to drought like conditions.
A few fairways and some greens very playable just not enough to want to go back until conditions improve with some rain and weed killer.

Positives: Pace of play was just over 3 hours for 18. Staff were nice and saw beverage cart multiple times during the round. Just need mother nature to pitch in some!

Enjoyable 18 Holes

Great value for money. Some of the greens were a bit rough round the edges but did not detract from a fun round of golf.

Would definitely play here again.

What once was now isn't

This course used to be a beautiful well mannered course. It was a highlight to play and after get a great lunch. Now this course reminds what would happen after an apocalypse. More weeds than grass, the greens should be called browns, no marshall and more cow pasture than golf course . There were very few people on the course but those who were there were a fivesome and a foursome of elderly walkers! We skipped 2 holes and just got tired of being on the course and left after bout 12 played holes. The mighty have fallen.
