Cart girl scam

Course in normal winter conditions. Bunkers still hard as a rock and not raked. Cart girl gave me a Powerade & snickers bar. Said it was $7.50 so I gave her a $20. She said she didn’t have change so I told her that’s ok bring it by next time you come round. The next time she came around she drove past me when I was hitting to the green that was the last time I saw her. Guess she thought $13.50 was her tip. First time I’ve seen this cart girl but I’ll be talking to her if I see her again she owes me a couple drinks.

Wet winter conditions

Staff always nice, course is wet and winter conditions are the same as 80% of the public courses in SE Texas this time of year. Front 9 still the teeth of the course. Back 9 opens up for a more relaxed finish. Bunkers were hard except where someone walked or dug their feet in and didn’t rake. Not fun to get out of. Like chipping off hard pan and trying to get the ball to check, not fun. Other wise pace of play was a non issue and limited to how long it took to hole out. No one to wait on and no one pushing us. Usually happens when playing on a 39 degree clear day.

Great Value For Money

Course layout is great, lots of shade in this heat. Fairways were decent and half of the greens were in good shape, the other half has a lot of no grass patches, worse was hole 15 the green is almost gone , kinda sad since that hole has a great layout.

Overall great value for the money, good views and layout, but if get annoyed by green in not so good shape then go somewhere else.

Very cozy course

Great course tucked in the heart of lake Conroe. Fairways are really nice. Some of the greens had some rot but it can be expected with these crazy temperatures.

Margaritaville

The course was not in great shape and the greens were terrible. It was not busy and we were able to play at a great pace.
Would play there again for the right price.

Conditions

I have played this course 3 times in the last 6 months. Each time I’ve given them 2 months to improve course conditions before I returned. Each time I was disappointed with 0 improvement. I may wait 3 months this time, or I may just call around to see if any friends might have played before I go, and see what they say.
It’s a shame because years ago this was a very nice course to play. My guess is the latest owners are boaters and not golfers, and would rather put there money in the marina, than the course. About 5 million investment is needed to restore it to how it used to be, and green fee revenue alone will never get it done. Wasted potential is all I see.

Not what was expected

Purse needs serious maintenance. Overpriced for what you get. Very good layout and could be a great course with a lot of TLC

19th hole is way overpriced also. No one in the place after a round but about 12 carts parked under a tree with the boys enjoying a beverage on their own

Nice course

Based on past reviews i was a bit nervous. However the greens were in great shape for time of year. Fairways were in good shape as well. I had a 7:30 tee time so I was first one out so pace of play was no issue for me

Wet weather
Used cart

Usually a Great Course, but we went after a rain fall

Usually a Great Course, but we went after a rain fall. Apparently overnight they had 3 inches of rain. it was cart path only. The course was 80% drenched, even the middle of the farway. Makes me wonder about their drainage system. If dry, the course plays very well.
