I played it a couple years ago right after it opened. It was interesting to see the layout because I also played there a couple times when Blaketree National was on that property—that was a hell of a course and amazing land, but they had problems from the start.
Anyways, the hospitality and amenities at Bluejack are ridiculous. They announced us off the first tee, they have a snack house (filled with all sorts of food and drinks) on the 6th hole. Someone brings you a cool rag when you walk off the 9th green. On 12 they have a BBQ shack where you can get BBQ off the pit and beer on tap. We had people check in on our group 3-4 times with snacks and other things, while also asking if we have any special requests. I’m told they bring you pretty much anything you want while you’re out there—bottle of bourbon, steak, new clubs, etc. Everything is just top notch, though you do pay for it.
The course is fun as hell. No rough and crushed quartz bunkers make it really playable. They lost a couple greens because they went too short for a member guest, but I’d chalk that up to the course still being new at the time. We played the tips and it was challenging, but still had plenty opportunities to score.
Mark O’meara was out there that day on the range with his dogs. I played with one of the assistant pros because we were there on a reciprocal and he said Patrick Reed, who’s a member out there, is exactly the a-hole he’s made out to be. The pro had been with Bluejack from when they started building the course, so he knew almost every nook and cranny. It was neat hearing him talk about the course and how Tiger would walk it and change various features based on how he wanted people to play.
Most of the planned community wasn’t built back then and they had just opened the little short course. I would love to get out there again to see how it’s come along.
I’ll never forget that round, not just because of the course, but on the par 3 12th, I knocked my first ball in the water, took my penalty, and re-teed...then holed it out from 190 for par. Would’ve been my second hole in one if it weren’t for that damn first tee shot

It’s a great course... very friendly for scoring. Beautiful piece of property that is perfectly manicured. The amenities besides golf also make it a completely different experience. Probably the most laid back country club in the US.

Hoping to play it sometime this Summer. Just need to make a trip to Houston first.

If it weren't so far away from downtown, I'd say its easily the best golf facility in Texas...as others have said amenities are second to none. Golf course is not hard, at all, but that was how it was supposed to be. Family friendly golf and they have perfected it.
I found the par 4 playground to be the best part - just a wedge, putter, and cooler.
We enjoyed the kickball field until the wee hours.

Bluejack is a fun course. Houston Oaks is a better course/facility

It’s a fantastic course....it’s pretty wide open so getting off the tee typically is not a major concern...but around the greens you have to be salty.
Not much rough at all, they can grow it out along the fairways though and it does make it much more challenging because your approach shots are so critical.
But the course really does mimic Augusta...pine straw everywhere, no rough around the greens but it is cut thin and greens have all kinds of undulations.
If you can’t lag putt....good fricking luck!
