Nice but not hard, Mar 06, 2005

reviewer: Les Hemingway from Cincinnati Ohio

Keep it in the middle and play your shot. Don't take chances here. Some blind shots and some hard greens to putt. It was better years ago before they built houses around the course. I played it 3 times and I play to a 15 handicap. Shot in 85,87,86. Has some good par 3s

Stay Below the Hole, Mar 28, 2004

reviewer: C. W. Sewik from MI

Although I played this course after a rye grass over-seeding, it still was a tough course from a greens management standpoint. The greens were fast and very sloped from back to front, making ball placement critical. I played the first and last nine, (27 holes altogether) and really like the final nine the best, as it was very scenic and the natural habitat was left quite pristine. I'm a 12 handicap and shot an 84, 88, the later round a bad putting day. The play was VERY fast (3.35hrs) and the pro shop top notch. The course allowed some errant tee shots without unfair penalty, but water does come into play on several holes, both from the tee and around the green. Overall, a very nice course for the money.

Griffith Park Golf Courses - Wilson Course
"wonderful"
wonderful greens and fairways, every hole was definitely unique and fairly challenging. We were able to find an opening to play on the course on a busy day without making a reservation. Allowed us to bring a spectator, with a price of course. Played both courses and would definitely come back. The only set-back was...there wasn't a beverage cart in sight and the play was pretty slow, had to wait for other players. Overall experience was great and would recommend to others.

Pines Par 3 Golf Course
"Pines Par 3"
This course is just a ball to play. Yes they are only par 3's with the longest being 90yards but this is still a great course to work on your short game. It has done wonders for mine. This course is also a great place to get the kids started on golf. Friendly atmosphere. On Monday Nights they have a Golf Tournament entry fee is about $15, including the hole-in-one pool.

North Shore Country Club
"Great Bay Side Holes, and Tough"
Play this in the wind and you'll find your handicap is a little too low. Northshore is a wonderful course with great bay views on the 4 bayside holes. And Don't miss the gator on hole 12, the cormorants on number 3, or all the other birds during the migratory months. In winter the rye overseed makes Northshore one of the best courses in all of South Texas.

"Classic Donald Ross"
This course is short in yardage (6200), but plays much longer. One reason is that there are only 2 par 5's on a par 70 track. The par 3's are classic Ross. 3 of the 4 can play over 190 yards to postage stamp greens. There are a lot of down and up style par 4's, but there is also variety. Holes 10,11 and 18 are good examples of tough, well thought out par 4's that demand accuracy and thought. A four is an excellent score on all of these holes. The course is generally in excellent condition and has undergone some minor renovations. You will notice that the greens are exceptionally small, even for a Ross course. Greens are properly protected with bunkers and have just the right amount of undulation. One designer has stated that these are the smallest greens he has ever seen on a Ross course (which may be its claim of distinction among the many Ross courses). There is a premium on iron play and short game. Greens are quick, but not penal. Everyone thinks they can bring this course to its knees, but it usually is the other way around. The course can frustrate you if you expect too much too easily. This is what makes it such a wonderful place to experience the brilliance of Donald Ross. It is private course, so find a member and enjoy...
