This is the best place to play golf in Houston, period. A public course that looks, feels, and plays like a country club, without the over-priced green fees. The people running the place are awesome. Raquel, Alana, Kate, Sayrey, Jarod, Daniel, and even Bubba the starter. It doesn't matter your skill level. You will love this place!
Great course. Greens absolutely killed me. Greens were very true and very fast. Great tee boxes. Fairways were tight. Great layout. Friendly staff. Definitely a must in Houston. Well worth the price in fact much better than the higher priced courses.
The hidden gem of Houston Golf! Come for the price, the shorter length, and nice range. Stay for the *beautiful* greens. 9/10 days they are almost perfect. They roll true. They roll fast. If you miss, it’s not because “it hit something” or it “broke out of nowhere”… It’s because you aren’t the putter you think you are 🤣
Great value for money! Course is incredibly fun to play. Although the fairways are generous, the defense of this course are the green speeds and undulations. For weekend rate of $70 (greens fees, cart fees, and range balls) this is one of the best values in town given the great course conditions. I will definitely be back. Only improvement needed is food offerings in grille. Tried a hotdog and it was not good. Oh, and not sure why carts can’t be in parking lot. It’s convenient for staff but not paying customers.
Played 4.6.26; the course was in great shape after the recent renovations. Upon arriving, I was greeted very friendly by Kateleen and Jared in the pro-shop. Bruce, the starter, was very accommodating and explained all the local rules of the day. The cherry on top for the round, was Ally, in the half-way house. Food prepared to perfection and complete customer service with a big smile. One of the best rounds of golf ever at Gus Wortham. Play it if you get a chance.
