This course has a front nine that is links-style, while its back nine is more traditional. The signature hole is #13, a 350-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot to a small landing area, then an approach shot over water to an island green. Reciprocal players living 100 miles or more outside of Louisville must have their club's head pro reserve a tee time. Reciprocal players also must have caddies, which are mandatory for anyone choosing to walk the course. "Golf Digest" rated this as the "Best in State" course for the years 1995 through 1998, and also rated it 51st best out of "America's 100 Greatest Courses" for 1995-96, and 61st in 1997-98. In addition, "GOLFWEEK" chose it 40th among "America's 100 Best Modern Courses" for 1997, 63rd for 1998 and 52nd for 1999. The PGA Championship was held here in 1996.

Golf course is actually 2 different styles which is fun. The front side is a links style and the back is tree lined. Kept in meticulous shape by crew and and staff. Plenty of tee boxes to make corse as difficult as you would like. Enjoy!

"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 Starter Course"
Nice Range, a great Par three Chip and Putt, if you don't have time for a full game. Very helpful staff. This is a true family center. Full Course you can learn on and still have fun, nice Chip and Putt and mini-golf for the kids. A fair price for the working man. No I don't own the place.

I have played many of the areas finest private and public golf courses and Concord ranks well for the design, beauty and difficulty of the course. The staff and members are personable and with the recent renovations the facilities are much improved. A great course to play or club to join!!!!!
