If I'm struggling w/ my game or working out some new swing mechanics, this is the place I come to play. The conditions are usually pretty good. They favor themselves as having the best greens in Houston. That's a tall order. IMHO, their greens are better than avg, running usually 9-10, relatively flat, but not on par w/ the high end courses like Redstone or Woodforest or Panther Trail. The layout is kinda bland. No trees come into play at all, except if you slice it far right of the fairway on #16 and #17, so you can pretty much grip it and rip it. Errant shots usually end up w/ an unobstructed shot to the green. This is links style golf w/o any severe mounding or hairy fescue.

The fairways are borderline hardpan and the rough is cut low, rarely penal, definitely hardpan. If I don't hit the fairway, no problem, my ball may roll farther than if I had been more precise. Cost to play is inexpensive and I think it is a terrific bargain. Expect to pay muni prices for better than avg conditions.

They have an enormous chipping/putting green for those of us who like sharpen our short game. The driving range is serviceable, but be sure to bring your mosquito spray. The wooded area and drainage ditch next to the range is perfect to growing these stinging critter of prehistoric proportions.
