Taking a Trip to Houston in mid September. We are staying in the Woodlands.

These are the courses we have been recommended:

1) Tour 18
2) Cypresswood
3) Blackhorse

Have any of you played at these courses? Would you recommend any others or any beside these?

Thanks!

Blackhorse isn't that close. Tour 18 is cool. Not the nicest course but it's fun to check out

I played tour 18 a couple of times last summer when I lived there. It was a lot of fun playing the iconic holes on tour. The it is pretty expensive during the early tee times and if you don't have a 3 or 4 some they will pair you up with some other people. Number 4 was my favorite hole on the course.

I still haven't played tour 18 because I hear it's almost always a 5-6 hour round. I also hear it's a very cool experience if you are familiar with the holes.

Cypresswood is awesome, and I enjoy both courses, but as a visitor who won't have multiple rounds, go with the Tradition course.

I think one of the courses at the Woodlands country club is public.

Forgot about Augusta Pines. I liked this course a lot. It was in perfect shape when I played in march, which was unseasonably cold this and most other courses were still recovering from the dormant winter.

Tradition at Cypresswood is a great course.

I'd play some of the ones in the Woodlands.

Augusta Pines is nice, the couple of times I've played it.

I'd skip Tour 18, not all that great.

So what I've gathered:

1) Tour 18, while nice, could take a long time to play (which may be an issue).

2) Definetly play Tradition at Cypresswood

3) Panther Trail at Woodlands is Nice

4) Augusta Pines is nice and should play

---What about this course GLEANNLOCH PINES GOLF CLUB? It's owned by the same people as Augusta Pines.

This. Probably the best course on this side of town. Would consider Blackhorse but it's not near as close as Cypresswood. Forget about Tour 18, as everyone has pretty well nailed it and the greens are not that great at the moment.

Glen loch is a decent course, but not on Augusta Pines level

Woodforest Golf is closer than anything mentioned (not directly in The Woodlands) and offers the best bang for your buck in all of Houston

I think Augusta Pines is better than those - and closer. Out of those you listed, Cypresswood and Blackhorse are generally in better shape than T18. Cypresswood The Tradition Course is the best course for the money around.
