Character killed by lack of care. The golf course has a lot going for it. The layout is interesting and can be a good challenge. The greens and tee boxes are well maintained. The staff are friendly, and there’s regular refreshments on offer from the cart coming around while you play. Unfortunately, the course itself is so poorly maintained that it really ruined the experience for me. Pretty much none of the bunkers seem to be in play, given how poorly cared for they are, with many not having rakes either. If your ball lands in the rough there’s a good chance you won’t find it because of the piles of grass cutting everywhere. My wife and I both lost balls within feet of the fairway because of this having seen where the ball went. The drains and sprinkler heads are overgrown too. In summary, there are many far nicer maintained courses at this price point in the area, so I’d pick one of those before coming here. The second star was because of the curses potential, and the staff, it really wasn’t good.

I gave 4 stars because anyway playing golf is a good day. The course was nice. Alot of flowing hills. That made finding that bad slice interesting. We have been in a drought for a while so the fairways were not as green as you would like. The only negative thing I guess I really have is, there were some bunkers that really needed up keep. Overall a good experience!!

Played 10/10/25. This course needs serious TLC. Fairways were dried out and roughs were not maintained. I think Southwyck had some better looking holes. Price point was that of Black Horse and it was nothing near that quality. Super disappointed. Only giving this two stars because the grille had great food and service.

Very disappointed today with Houston national on the public course. While the greens were well maintained, the rest of the course was in terrible shape. Bunkers with sand that hasn’t been taken care of in quite a long time. New golf carts had issues because you would be on the path and the cart would shut down like you were in a forbidden area. Overall, very disappointed when paying that kind of money for a course in that bad of condition. Especially when I live very close to the course. People were great. Just course in poor condition. Hope things turn around there.

Early Tee time, on a Monday. Range balls included, so I stopped there for a quick warm-up. Solo player, so it was a fairly quick round. Fairways were nice, and greens were very well kept. Lots of undulation, so keep everything under control, and you can score pretty well. It was a dewy morning, but overall, it was a great course. Stopped in for the included lunch after the round (when you book through Houston National, not golfnow), including chips and a beer, if that's your fancy. Well worth the price of the round, all things considered.
