1 Lochinvar (better know someone)

2 BlackHorse (I like South course)
3 Redstone or now the Golf Club of Houston (Shell Open)
4 WoodForest (GREAT course, awesome greens. About an hour from downtown)
5 Memorial Park (good public course and in the city)

I played Redstone and Wildcat last fall and have played Tour 18 a few times. Unless you're looking for the novelty of playing famous holes, I would avoid Tour 18. The course has never been in good condition when we've played it.

Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of Wildcat either. It could have been because we were hungover and had to wait every shot, but I was still expecting more. Quite a bit of elevation change if I remember correctly. I believe it was built on top of an old dump site.

Redstone was in fantastic shape and I think it cost us around $150. Maybe I'm hard to please, but I expected more for the money. Nothing wrong w/ the course though.

I'd play eagle pointe in month belvieu again before I'd spend another $150 on Redstone.

I play Wildcat 20+ times a year. Never had an issue with a 5+ hour round. It's a hard course to traverse but never that slow. Usually very solid greens.

Tour 18 is worth playing if you've never done it. It'd be a memory for sure.

You can get on GolfNow or other apps and book rounds all over the city at discounted rates. A threesome looking to spend $660 will buy you a lot of the golf courses in Houston.
