I used to love playing this course because of the tee time spacing, never did I see a group in front or behind of me. However now due to COVID and the assumption that the owners do not care if people play slow and only need an influx of money have altered this; on some holes I could watch a full episode of a show and knit a sweater before teeing off. The amount of god awful players, tee time consideration, and so forth disappoints me. Definitely will be avoiding this golf course for a couple of years. Also, I would think with a moderate price to a course it be better service to us consumers though is not the case, as cheap courses have this problem it’s sad to see a premium course with these problems.

There are two courses. Lakes and highlands.Two should be easily top 10 public courses in Houston. I played many times and never had bad experiences. Recommend it.

Course is in great shape! Need som attention to sections by the golf cart. Erosion has become an issue. Other than that great course, great hospitality!

I love this course, it is hard and easy at the same time. Had a bad day out there today. But look at the sunset!!!

Played both Highland and Lake courses and they are both great tracks. With the rolling hills, you hardly feel like you’re in Houston. Tee to green is in great shape. I do wish they had a walking rate/option but I’m always down to get a round in at Wildcat.

Course is in very good shape per usual!

Really enjoy this course. Lots of challenges for sure.

Well taken care of grounds and helpful staff.

Im a weekend golfer.Been a couple yrs since Ive played there. Course was in great condition, club house was fantastic.The reason for me leaving this random post is to warn beginners and intermediate golfers THESE COURSES ARENT KIND AT ALL! I almost pawned my clubs on the way home. Just take a drop and bypass the tee boxes and youll have a better time. That track is tough!!!!

Fairways were good eventhough is so hot. Greens were aerated so not the best but the course is still in good shape

Hard to believe its built on a dump yard! Beautiful course with lots of elevation that you cant find anywhere else in H-Town. Got one price on the phone and a higher price when we got there?

You can play the ball down on this golf course. Very few courses I have played have been this well kept. Greens roll true and smooth.

Course is great, booking a tee Time is horrific.Worst experience ever, I book twice a week for our group of 8/12 golfers. We have played this course many timesIWe have played this course several several times, will not return, using the their booking system

Beautiful course! Will be back a lot more.

If you love golf you will love wildcat

Nice 36 hole layout with hills and undulation. Played hear countless times and can say that the conditions are always above average for Houston courses. The reason I cannot give it five stars is because of the price. At peak rates or without a hot deal, there are too many other courses around Houston that are better bang for the buck i feel like.

Course was in great shape. Wonderful and safe food service.

Great course. Very nice greens

Perfect place for fun . Great staff as well. Good atmosphere very beautiful property. Good food and great people. The food was awesome .

Highlands course is a good course but its a challenge with some blind shots. Buy the yardage guide since the carts DO NOThave GPS. Highlands is a link style but its not really links. The ball will run forever through the rough and into the woods/hazards. I played in May and the course was in very good shape. Greens were in excellent condition. Cool views of Houston from many holes.Lakes course is easier if you can avoid the water. Again the yardage book is a must or get paired up with a local.Food was good and decently priced. Staff was very helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone lower than a 15 handicap.

Its a treasure mine of a golf course, with plenty of amazing views. A yellow ball is easy to see due to the sky backdrop and the layout will challenge short hitters and far hitters alike. Greens are fun and fairways swindle around lake resovoirs. The staff service and equipment are great, making the overall experience memorable any time of the year. Great place for corporate outings.

Conditions are always top notch when I have played there when it was not aerated.

Fast greens. Friendly service.

Underwhelming experience.. for the price, I wouldve thought the course might have been in better condition. I also booked three tee times over the phone, and was also told I could cancel one if needs be. So I did before arriving.. what I was not told over the phone that it needed to be within a 24hr cancellation period. So I was charged for that extra tee time, seems unfair not be given all the information. Ive tried calling to get a refund or speak to the GM five times!! no response, no email, no phone call.. customer service is below par.. thanks wildcat, but Ill look for somewhere else next time Im in Houston..

I went here last summer because I wanted to try a new sports. The trainer I had was very patience to me. If you want to learn or want your child to learn the basic of Golf, then Wildcat Club is near the city.

This was my first time visiting wildcat a few buddies of mine invited me out recently it was an awesome experience and I gotta tell you I give credit when its do and I was impressed by this course. The greens are beautiful. So much wild life. The valet and service was great. Food was great. I don’t usually remember names but the cart girl Kayla really made an impression. She went above and beyond and really made it a great experience for all of us. She was so quick making her rounds and really kept up such a great attitude and hospitality. Overall this was an awesome experience and I can’t wait to try out the other course.

My absolute favorite courses in Houston. Highlands > Lakes in my opinion but they are both fantastic.

This is the quintessential golf course in all of Houston. Two different courses, the Lakes and the Highlands. Both each with their own unique elements. The elevation of this golf course, which is built over a landfill, really makes it the most unique in Houston. Combine that would be stunning use of the city from the Fairway Hilltop sand you have a one-of-a-kind golf experience that cannot be duplicated in Houston. Excellent 19th Hole Hospitality in the clubhouse as well with a great selection of food and beverage. All the memorabilia from the Houston sports teams is a bonus!

Great course with lots of challenging terrain

We have previously played this course and enjoyed it (although rained out the last time while we were on the course). This Sunday we had an early scheduled tee time. At around 9pm on Saturday we decided not to play with a 70%-80% chance of thunderstorms and it raining all Saturday. Part of our group lives in The Woodlands and didn’t want to drive an hour to get rained out again. After missing our tee time my card was charged the full amount for all 4 players. I called the pro shop to see if we could work something out and was told the GM would be the only one who could make that decision. Since then I have left the GM multiple messages with no returned calls.I would’ve been open to future course credit but the fact that I can’t get a returned call shows how they value customers. Every time I’ve spoken to the Pro Shop they’ve said the GM is busy and just leave a message. At this point I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone.To top it off we had 3 partial credits from getting rained out on the course previously and should’ve received a discounted round.

Thank you Nick, Bianca and all the staff for your help today! Thank you for accommodating our annual golf tournament fundraiser.

Great course and challenging! A must play course

The best use of a landfill in Houston! Seriously, this place is built on a retired landfill. What that provides you is something that you do not get often with a course in Houston - elevation! The views of the city are excellent, but the drawback is that you will most likely be dealing with wind all day (sometimes that is worth the sacrifice with Houston heat.) There are 2 courses that I have played are the Highlands and Lakes. In my opinion, the Highlands course is probably less difficult. Not as much water (obviously) but you are still dealing with thick rough and a regular blind shot. I would consider myself an average golfer and I always lose a few golf balls because at Wildcat, if you hit the ball into the rough - you are not getting it out (it is very thick.) With the Lakes course, you will deal with water and a few blind shots similar to the Highlands course. Every time I have played Wildcat, the greens have played very fast so keep that in mind.If you are looking for a challenging course, with elevation and great views of the city - Wildcat is an excellent choice. Prices are from $60-80 per round, depending on if you play during the weekend or book a weekend tee time. Give it a try, I think you will be pleased.

It was quite an experience to play on a golf course with oil derrick pumps running. The course has some interesting terrain and plenty of water.The driving range sits on a hill and gives you a panoramic view if the club house and the course.The club house is pretty nice and the staff was great.

Never had an issue playing at this course. Challenging with a lot of elevations which is nice for Houston. Overall pleasant experience.

Nice tract. A bit wet.

Wildcat Golf Club, built on a former landfill site, is home to the 18-hole Lakes and Highlands courses. Both these well-rated and pleasantly testing championship layouts are Roy Case designs. These open parkland layouts should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Worth including on your play list if you are in the area.

Two great courses at one picturesque location which enjoys panoramic views of the Houston skyline. The Highlands course is a rolling hills layout that meanders back and forth through itself and the treacherous Lakes course with its mix of holes and middle set of holes that will devour your balls with all its water hazards. Usually a bit pricey in the morning but twilight rates are very reasonable.

Decent conditions and pace of play on weekends. Nice practice facility and clubhouse. Both courses are pretty short from blues, so you dont need a big drive to put up low scores.

These guys hosted a tournament for our school, and did an amazing job taking the burden away from the charity and taking it on themselves. First class planning assistance, amenities, and experience. Pace of play was great for a tournament, the course was in good shape, and the shot making is always challenging. I appreciate what they did to go above and beyond to make the experience good for our guests, knowing it reflected as much on us as them. I recommend the tournament experience highly - no hassle, and a can-do attitude.

Beautiful course and kept with care (Hjighlands)

Got a deal online to play here and was very pleasantly surprised. Wonderful layout, what minimal interaction I had with staff was professional and courteous. Im not sure why anyone would post a negative review about this place, I had a fantastic time. I can see it being tough on a hack, however, due to the elevation.... its rather windy. Ill definitely be going back again and again. Awesome spot.

Been coming here for years

We love our Wildcat family! Since 2012 we have held our annual Jamies Hope Golf Tournament for a Cure event at Wildcat Golf Club. They have been very accommodating and flexible with us since day one to ensure we have a great fundraiser. We sincerely appreciate their kindness and especially Nicks help with our tourney each year. Thank you Wildcat!!

The range has improved. Ive actually enrolled in the range membership. Its the best range in the area for sure. The short game area is a little walk but has a variety of shots you can practice and is usually not crowded. The staff has been friendly and accommodating.

Nice courses. Lakes course can be a little difficult to higher handicapped players with all the water. we prefer the Highlands course which has it challenges if you dont keep your ball in play as well. Give it a try!

My wife got me four rounds through Groupon, I love playing here. Greens are always amazing, the staff is top notch, I highly recommend this course if you would like to play on a challenging layout.

My favorite place to play in Houston. Its a really gorgeous course considering how near in town it is, and its got some of the only real hills in Houston since its built on a former landfill. The holes can be pretty aggressively built and the roughs unforgiving, so bring extra balls, but I enjoy the challenge.

Awesome golf course

I was a member for a number of years until I moved away from the area. I loved the challenge of both courses. Both courses are always well maintained and the views and elevation changes are unmatched in Houston.

Great and very different tracks (there are two), and some really challenging holes..highlands course is a shot management course where often getting a little off of the first cut means dropping a ball.

Not worth the cost. Fairways, tee boxes, and areas around tee boxes were not cut. Range ropes hadnt been moved in days, and the grass on the range was 3 rough. Tee boxes are all sloped and uneven. Fairways were very patchy. Way overpriced. I would not recommend this golf course unless you were paying around $30.

Awesome Club!!!

Great course. Great people. Great work Team

Kept in great shape, generally not crowded, both corses are well laid out, lot of elevation changes....A must play

Good rates, nice amenities and the course conditions were top notch.

Great golf course every time I play here I play the highlands the fairways, tee box and greens are in great shape but try to stay away from the high rough and blind spot try to play it safe in each hole.The staff are nice dont believe what people say about them about being rude and the price to go play at wildcat is not that much $80 a lot of people complain about the price but if you cant afford it too bad golf is not for you play a different sport you can afford. The restaurant is great good food and drink they have a beer girl riding around the course selling drinks and snacks and the view from reliant stadium and the astrodome is nice.

Great course. The Lake course is a great challenge!

Good prices. There are 2 different 18 hole courses to pick from. Both great to play on.

Great course. Very enjoyable.

Coarse is in excellent condition nice greens and challenging . Great time

Great Place, Good Service and Awesome Golf Course.

Nice Corse but if you are just going to the range you will have a good walk to the back with out a cart; they did offer a ride there once

Great course and fun layoutMedium difficulty, clean cut fairwaysAnd real nice consistent greens speed and great conditions

This was absolute the worst golf experience ever. 82 dollar premium green fees for a mediocre conditioned course and probably the worst service ever. First about the course, multiple hidden ant piles on tee boxes. I understand there occasionally being issues in the rough but on a tee box, to look down and see your shoe covered in ants is ridiculous. The greens which were recently sanded thus incredibly bumpy. Multiple bunkers with standing water. Overall the value for 82$ is ridiculous.On to the service. At registration I asked for range balls. Having expressed that I never played the course, I asked where the range was and was told over the hill.Upon going over the hill I saw a range that appeared to be closed with markers, however on the far right no markers were noted this I assumed this was the location to hit from. About 5 minutes later the course manager comes to inform us that we are on the wrong side. I let him know that this was our mistake and I had never seen a two-way range before. He began a very condescending talking down tone of voice towards our foursome. I asked him to drop the condescending tone and he eventually proceeded to tell me to f*#% off. I have never experienced a level of lack of professionalism at a golf course. Furthermore, he proceeded to have the Marshall/starter follow us on nearly 1/3 of our holes and watch us.I would highly never recommend anyone to ever play this course as the value is incredibly poor and the managers think they run Augusta national

Great course lots of hills course is in excellent condition

Loved the idea of a landfill reclamation. Course was decent and offers some great views of the city.

The course is in great condition to get the opportunity to play take advantage of it

Worst customer service ever. Management (owners??) could care less about the customer experience. They forget they are in a service industry. I will never book another tee time or tournament there. There are too many better golf courses in Houston to patronize.

Awesome course always kept in great condition - great value - great staff and the Vista Grill serves excellent food.

Closer thing to hill country right here in Houston.

Lets get real here.. If you are a ball-losing, foul-mouthed, five-putting, push-slicer then yes, you will hate this place. If you are a gentleman who respects himself enough to have some control over your shot-making, then you will love this place. It isnt for beginners. Unfortunately for many, even with ten or more years of experience with the game, you are still beginners or at least play and act like it. Play it forward, club down, get control of your game. You are there to play the course and you whiny types leave feeling that the course played you. AND HURRY UP if you stink at golf. I found this track challenging and aesthetically pleasing. Its links golf. Its not flat lies, its challenging. Grow up, stop blaming the course for your crappy play, get some lessons, slow your swing down, stop making up for a poor shot with three more then cursing because you stink. You need help from the club back if you whine about this track.. Love this place, cant stand the idiots who come there, however.

Decent course but a players rewards program would be cool

The driving range isnt flat from the back tee, so if they place you on the back tees to warm up dont feel like you are going to get a feel for how you are hitting the ball that day. If you have a choice of courses to play, play the Lakes Course, it is a far cry away from anything you will play locally in the area. The Lakes Course is a good layout, there are a few gimicky holes but for the most part, what you see is what you get. The course is always in pretty good shape for the amount of play it receives. The Highlands Course is always in good shape, however there are a significant amount of blind shots, pay close attention the yardage on the card and then double check it once you get to the tee box, this course is all about ball placement. Overall both courses are worth the $65 dollar fee, however beware, if you play this either courses in the afternoon you may be looking at a 5 hour round. The Marshalls at this course dont make their rounds and surely dont push pace of play.

Way over priced for what they offer,Lots of blind tee shots and exposed to the wind.

Very Good courses!!!2nd visit to Wildcat. First visit I played on the Lakes course in (2011), this time (June 2016) I played on the Highlands course. Both courses are beautiful courses with very challenging setups. NEITHER course is for beginners. Unlike most Texas courses, these fairways are comprised of tall grasses/thick brush/marshes. In other words, if you often hit wayward shots, there is NO punching out. You will lose golf balls and drop shots unless you can manage your game here.That being said, for the better and straighter golfer, these will be great challenges offering unique views of Houston with exceptional service and moderate value provided to players.Service - Exceptional. Everyone I dealt with was overly hospitable while carrying a pleasant attitude.Value - Moderate. Not a cheap round if paying full price. But offers more as a course and facility than other similarly prices courses in Houston metro.My only 2 cons are that 1) I thought for a relatively dry 2 weeks in Houston, the fairways were wetter than they should have been. Meaning, less roll out from drives and longer 2nd shots. And 2) the bunkers were too shallow for a course of this quality. As such, many bunkers had little sand or were hard-pan bunkers with no sand. This may be due to the massive rains Houston has experienced since the Tax Day flood, but deepening the bunkers would address this. These are the only 2 reasons keeping it from a 4.5 - 5 rating.

Great and challenging course.Food and drinks very good

Great tough course not too far out of Houston

My favorite public course to play in Houston.

I was able to play both courses thru a tournament sponsored by my employer. It was a wonderful experience especially for a player who just started developing his game. Course was very well-maintained but confusing at times for it felt like some of the fairways were criss-crossing. Views were awesome, staff in the pro-shops are very accommodating and pleasant. Only thing negative in my experience there was this off-duty police officer moonlighting as security staff, who called me out while returning the cart. I was returning mine together with two more gentlemen I pretty much followed their lead for they were already familiar with the course and it was getting dark. As soon as I got off the cart, this officer yelled at me, Hey! What are you doing? Why are you leaving it there? How did you get here? as if I did not belong and that I did not deserve to play there. I answered Sir, Im just dropping off the cart just like the other two gentlemen ahead of me, how come you are talking to me like that? He replied, Were you in the tournament? I nodded then he finished with you dont know what youre doing. I am Asian, the two gentlemen ahead of me was African-American and Caucasian, he did not utter a word to them as they got off their carts yet he decided to yell at me in front of the attendants who were actually laughing quietly as the officer bullied me. I just shook my head and turned around after telling him that he shouldnt talk to me like that and I walked away while he was still uttering insults, as the staff looked entertained. The officer was African-American by the way and sad to say people like him discredit people who genuinely want to be treated equally. I never played a round again in Wildcat after that for one bad attitude from one staff ruined all the good ones for me.

Lovely course, but the food is in dire need of an upgrade.

Nice shape of course to play my favorite sports

Nice course with great views of downtown. Keep in out of the thick stuff!!

Not a golfer, was there for an event so I cant say if it is a great course or not but the clubhouse was ok.

Two scenic challenging golf courses!

Pretty hard course to play well. Lots of water and have to stay in the fairways to be successful.

Tough course and usually well maintained.

I will not be back to Wildcat Golf Club. They raised the green fees for 1 and I was not informed of this when making my tee time. You have to give your cc number to guarantee a tee time in case you cancel. Then when I arrive the green fees were $14 higher than 2 weeks ago. Then when I am leaving, a good hour before sundown, they have closed the gate to access the parking lot with the cart. So after paying a premium price, taking 5 hours to play a round, I have to carry all my gear to the parking lot. Which is not near the clubhouse, maybe 75 to 100 yards. Why would you pay extra for frustration ? And for that price the only marshall I saw was at the 1st tee to check my ticket to make sure I paid. Not once did we see anyone tell the group or groups in front to pick up the pace.

Great place for our company tournament

Challenging course with great views!

Nice place, cool view, clean course.

Good spot to play a challenging round

Great golf course.

Good public course.

Great place for golf tournaments.

Treated my dad to a golf round yesterday and I was very disappointed to hear he had a bad experience. He said the guy at the reception (around 4pm) was rude and unprofessional, handed him the key/paper and pointed towards outside. The guy was very unhelpful when my dad tried to ask questions.Regardless, my dad still tried to make the most of it even though the course seem very confusing.

Greens in good shape and great service

Awesome place to golf for business.

Well taken care of.

This place was an incredible experience
