Best golf course in Houston

Headed there next week and can get a round in and want to know where to play? The tour is keeping me out of GC of Houston, if you could get on anywhere where would you play?
Staying near Pearland area if that helps but will travel......

Champions or Lochinvar. Can't go wrong with either.

Wildcat or Blackhorse

Can you get on anywhere? Carlton Woods Fazio course is probably the best manicured course in the area, ROCC just finished a complete renovation and is in incredible shape, and Lochinvar is Lochinvar. If you can get on any of those, do it.
If you have to go public, I guess blackhorse or cypresswood traditions course would be my suggestion. Wildcat is unique for being in Houston and having some degree of elevation changes, but they are awful proud of the course for what it is.

Fish Creek used to have the best greens in the state

If you are staying in Pearland check out Timber Creek. Its in Friendswood, easy drive. Its a 27 hole setup not located in a subdivision, green fees are around $50. Its one of the better deals in Houston.

If you can swing getting onto one of the private clubs the renovations they have done at ROCC are pretty fantastic. It will be a little bit of a drive from where you are to Carlton Woods but both of those courses up in the Woodlands are great. Played the Nicholas at C Woods last Friday and they had just punched the greens earlier in the week. Played cypresswood Saturday and it was in good shape.

If you don't want to go too far I would go with Magnolia Creek, WildCat, or Golfcrest.
Magnolia Creek is links style and a better lay out than Southwyk(which is in the area and links style as well). I haven't played there in a long time, but it was in great shape when I played.
Wildcat is pretty quirky, but it's entertaining and worth playing. The Highland course is a little more straight forward and the Lakes course is more challenging. I always recommend it to people just because you won't play many courses like it.
Golfcrest is a decent track and always has some of the best greens in Houston. They've hosted a couple lesser(Hooters, Adams, etc.) tour events out there and the players every year talked about how incredible the greens are. It's private, but I've never had trouble getting on there during the week.

Redstone, Augusta Pines, Deerwood CC (filmed Tin Cup here). I like Augusta Pines. Great layout, always extremely well kept

The best public course is River Ridge in Sealy. From Pearland its a 50 or so minute drive, but all interstate/HWY. I like it better than Blackhorse and Cypresswood Tradition, but any three of these courses will be great.
ETA: don't be tempted by wildcat, it really is not that great except for location. Lots of blind shots and shite everywhere. Last couple of time I played there, I have been disappointed with their greens.

I play Clear Creek in Pearland a lot. Can't beat it for the price.

I don't think you can play Champions or Lochinvar publicly. For public courses, try any of these:
Woodforest - all three 9s are good, but my preference is front to back (not west)
Cypresswood - The Tradition Course
Cypress Lakes
Blackhorse -South course
Out of those 4, I would choose Woodforest but it's the most difficult for you to get to from Pearland (the only one remotely easy from Pearland is Cypresswood, but it's still about 25 miles). Wildcat is decent too - I prefer the Lakes over the Highlands.

I could get you on at any course, other than Tournament courses at GC Houston and The Woodlands.

I played Golf Club of Houston a couple of weeks ago and it was pristine. The course conditions were some of the best I have ever played. The forecaddie said the course is best played in the March, April & May months because of the preparations for the Shell Houston Open. It was around $100 green fee, which is a steal.
