One year ago we left McAllen, TX for a 6 week, 6000 mile road trip. Our first stop was at The Wilderness Golf Club. It was a beautiful day on the course. Marvelous greens. We spent the night dining on a local BBQ meal. This was in the corner of the parking lot via Harvest Hosts. Listening to the wildlife and birds come to life as the sunset was magical. Top five of the 15 courses we played during the 45 day trip.
Course is well laid out and a nice design with tees for all abilities. However, the greens were in a shocking state compared to fairways and bunkers in fact they were the worst I have played on in the whole Houston area (and there are some other shockers around). If this place had tees and greens that were on the same level as the fairways and bunkers it would be a winner : Moody Gardens shows that a Public course can be great, this place needs some serious TLC.
They are still coming back up from flooding out a few years ago. Other than that I found the greens to be super challenging but the fairways were wide open
Pretty course. Played the back 9 for $32. Really enjoyed it. Greens were sanded but rolled just fine. Would be a $120 course if it was in north Houston.
It's been at least 8 years since I played this course. It's about hour and a half from me. It is a nice course but it was really nice back then. Nice simple clubhouse with snack bar, golf attire, etc .... Some greens, fairways and bunkers could use some work. I don't really care about the tee boxes (tee it up) but they were good. . I did see maintenance working on one bunker and I heard that they are going to be working on others. Myyyy biggest problem is the price ($75 or so for non resident - weekdays).
