This course was cut out of a forest of towering pine trees, so its fairways are narrow. Holes #5 and #12 offer some remarkable scenery. This course is fairly new, but it hasn't taken long to establish itself as being one of the best around. Overall, locals say the course plays as tough as the TPC (Tournament Players Club) Course in Dearborn. In addition, water hazards (ponds) come into play on seven holes. This course also features seven dogleg fairways and well-bunkered greens. The plush fairways are bordered by a thick cut of rough. A twilight rate is available throughout the summer, including all the golf you can play with the use of a power cart.

Great Challenge, Mar 24, 2004

reviewer: James Pine from Waterford, MI

This out of the way course is a great way to feel like you are up north playing one of those expensive courses. Its narrow, tree lined fairways give way to small, challenging greens that make you take a second look before hitting your approach shot or you can pay dearly. I, personally am tired of the "easy to play" course mentality that everyone is taking. This course is for the serious golfer who wants a challenge. Take the drive and take the challenge! It is worth it!

"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".

"Outstanding"
This is one of the most beutiful golf courses in the great North West. Every hole has it's challenges such as long narrow fairways, tightly placed pins, and ponds throughout. The plush greens and marvolous clubhouse are just two of many great amenities this course has to offer.

"Review"
Inconsistent greens throughout and tee boxes from hell. The 12th tee grass is 6 inches tall all the time....please someone wake up. The range is closed to paying customers and open to members only. Big deal it's just a stupid field. If you want to play fun golf, go somewhere else.
