    This course is very nostalgic for me, I love the course and the staff. One day when I've had some…read morelessons, I'll be back and not plunk it into the pond.

    I'm sure the course will get better (hopefully) condition-wise as the summer draws near, but this…read moretime it was just horrible. The greens were horrible. The fairways were horrible. The tee boxes were okay. All of this could be somewhat overlooked if they didn't charge $45 for a green fee and cart. I wish courses would give a discounted price when they know their course is not in the best shape it can be. And the greens! Yes, they were badly maintained, but they are also the most unfair greens you will ever play. And depending on where they have the pins, it can be downright unplayable as you will constantly be having your ball ROLL OFF THE GREEN after almost coming to a stop near the hole. Some of the views are really nice, however, as you can get good pictures of your playing partners with Lake Livingston in the background. So, in summary, if they charged approximately $30 to play this course, it would be a good value. At $45, it is a complete rip off. We only play here when we visit and camp at our property in Onalaska. This is about a 25-minute drive, which is really convenient if you're just looking to get away, drink some beer, and play some golf with your friends and family. For this reason alone, I almost gave it 3 stars. The condition of the course the most recent time there is why I only gave it 2 stars.

    3 9's located on the outer rims of Houston's surrounding counties. Designed by Steve Elkington, and…read morethe first golf course I know that got repo'd by a bank and now ran by the same bankers. I have to say, Woodforest Golf course is the best course i have played in Texas. Let me elaborate on that. As a caddy, I have seen lots of types of courses, from flat boring pasture with visibility for miles, to 360 dogglegged landmines at every blind corner. This is none of that. The beauty here is the simplicity of the layout. Good Job Elk. Every hole is exactly as you see it, no tricks, hidden dangers. But to end up with a score below Houston summer temps require you to have a PGA style short game, or Ben Hogan school of course management. If you end up out of position, there is no up and down. 3 putts on the large waving greens, chunked flops out of the troll haired rough is common. I was more nervous around the green than waiting for an episode of Game of Thrones to start. Cold sweat, junkie twitch, Kevin Na yips... The word on the street is that this is the best course in Houston by a long shot. And that there are weekday deals that make this affordable to all willing to make the drive. Like Han Solos says, "it's all true."

    Course is always in great shape. Greens putt true. If you…read moremiss the putt, it's your own fault! lol Only complaint is not so bad, the greens drain great. So, they are always pretty firm, even after rain. But, everything around the greens, especially the approaches are always way to wet and soft, making it fairly frustrating when you hit a great shot, even with a wedge, high and with good spin that lands on the front and rolls out. But, if it lands short it either plugs or just about plugs. See, like I said, not so bad. But, a course of this quality should be able to manage irrigation a little better.

    Our son played a tournament here and we were really impressed…read more The clubhouse was nice. Not super extravagant but reminded me of a VFW from back home. I only interacted with the gentleman in the pro shop. He was friendly and liked how he instructed my son how to get the range balls, not me. I loved how lively this place was. There were SO MANY "old timers" out and about here. Luckily, they were friendly old timers, not snooty rude ones like some of the members of the country club I worked at like 20 years ago. The driving range, putting and chipping greens were nice. Carts were awesome. Super quiet. GPS touch screen. AND only $20! (Most courses we went to this summer were at least $27.) As for the course, I think this was one of the best ones we have seen all summer. Fairways and greens were well taken care of. My son had a couple challenging holes but hey, that's golf. We recommend.

    This course is public but has memberships at a very reasonable price. Recently has done a lot up…read moreupgrades to make the course better. I love playing with a lot of surrounding trees in the Summer with better shade. Fairways are wide enough the average golfer can avoid them. Greens are looking really good. There are 27 holes and new golf carts that are electric. The driving range has a couple of putting ranges for chipping and putting, but no sand practice. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

    This place is super unprofessional. Upstairs they keep it clean but golf is where it gets bad…read more Jared Owens and Michael Thomas ruined this country club coming from someone who's been a member for years and years. I've also heard horror stories coming from employees saying Jared doesn't give attendance points to people he likes and Mike leaves them out to dry when they are understaffed. Things like this can't be happening when the dues we pay are so high and keep getting higher for the same quality of service as it was before. The course is beautiful but hard to play. The blue shirt guys are up your butt 24/7 trying to help whether it is intentional or forced orders nobody likes it here. Jared Owens needs to go back to school and learn a new profession

    I am lucky enough to have a group of golfers that make an annual trip to this incredible golf…read morevenue. This week we were treated to superb weather and a fine trip to Miramont. Normally our trip is after the time change and did catch the course in a seasonal sanding but the conditions of the greens even with sand made for quite a challenge. The rooms are 6 star and the food is comparable. Wine list is excellent and well stocked (no shortage off '07 Silver Oak Cab). Caddies were a new component and not experienced but most of us had played the course so was not an issue. The course has 3 five pars and 3 par 3's on front side. Great course for gamblers and fair to the shorter hitters. Clubhouse is off the charts, locker rooms are the best ever and the staff is not in a hurry or overworked. We were the only foursomes on the course the two days we were there except the A&M golf team. Possibly the best golf/dining/lodging experience ever and certainly anywhere in Texas.
