Willow Springs Golf Course -- *Beginner's Paradise*
Review by: Matt	This was the first golf course I had ever played on, and the open fairways and relatively minimal amount of hazzards made the course a wonderful experience for me. I would reccomend it to beginners and fairly new golfers who don't want to spend a lot for a nice day of golf. Green fees and other prices for various goods are reasonable, and its a decent course for the price.

El Caballero Country Club
"Amazing"
This is a very good course in excellent condition and is maintained very well

WindRose Golf Club
"Upscale heading Downscale"
This course has so much potential. As it stands it is still one of the best courses in Houston for one thing and one thing only: Greens. It is just unfortunate that it has changed management hands several times in the last few years. In the process, each regime has focused on different things. Mostly cutting back on what the previous management did. No overseeding fairways in winter, Sand bunkers that qualify as gumbo bunkers, No restrooms on course, carts that badly need replacement. To compete with area course price points, they have dropped their average rates. What this means is more course play with less revenue. Couple this with the fact that there is less maintenance staff and no one fills in divots. Looks like a bombing campaign afterphoto on some fairways. The claim to fame is "Best greens in Houston". While this may still be true, the overall package is declining. I am concerned that even the greens may suffer as a consequence of the extra play and reduced maintenance. They used to put balls out on the range, but no more. They have some funky bag system where you lug these large red bags to the range with you. It could be so much better. Aesthetics are an afterthought. Actually, no one is thinking of aesthetics at all. I think they just keep thinking they can coast on the fumes of the reputation of their greens. Their slogan when the club opened 6 years ago was "Country Club for a day". An updated version would be more like "Mcgolf with your redneck buddies for a day".

"Great Course"
This course requires all the clubs in your bag yet does not require a 300 yard drive to play. Would recomment it to anyone for an enjoyable round of golf

Woodstock Country Club
"Woodstock country club"
Woodstock Country Club is one of the tightest and toughest courses in the area. Considering the very small and ungulating green and the tight tree lined fairways. It has many rolling hills and uphill/downhill lies.
