Getting a long weekend in with the family soon. We will be staying on the Hilton Resort and it says they have 2 courses. I’ve played around the Houston area, but never there. How are the courses? Are they worth the green fees? Any input on restaurants within the area also greatly appreciated.

Well, the Woodlands is not Houston. It’s about an hour away. Houston is a city. Places on the outskirts are not Houston. Please stop referring to something 50 miles away as something else.
I will say, if you’re staying in the Woodlands, most decent courses are private and they’re typically in great shape. Public courses in that area are not very good.
Within 40 miles of the Woodlands for public courses are Atascocita, Cypresswood, and the cypress courses (Houston National, cypress Lakes, Blackhorse). None of these are in Houston.

Damn baw, somebody piss in ur cornflakes? Suburbs are like catch-all names for the biggest city they are around. I think if you can commute to downtown, you can get by with calling a burb Houston just because Houston is so big. Now calling Lake Jackson, Cleveland, Anahuac, Brookshire, or Wharton by the name Houston might be a stretch.

The Woodlands is 30 miles. Also, I stayed and played there with my wife's family during COVID times in 2020. I don't remember which course I played, but we enjoyed it. Both courses were in very good shape then. I'm not sure how they are now because of the drought. The facilities are nice and it was easy to go from the hotel to the course.
If you play there, let us know how it is. We're going there again in a few weeks for a little staycation since there are a few babies that make travel difficult in the family.

Also, I live in Cypress. The Woodlands resort course we played was better than all the ones you mentioned. By the way, Houston National is in Houston technically. You are right about the other two.

“Houston Area” would be key wording in the post which I referred to when mentioning where I previously played. I never said we were staying in Houston when talking about about the Woodlands trip upcoming. No need to be a dick, hope your day gets better baw.

Wife and I did the same a little over a month ago. Really enjoyed the courses, panther trail was my favorite. Halfway houses on each, well kept, good practice area.
Haven’t played anywhere else in the woodlands, but thought it was a really good experience.
Recommend the stay and play package if you and the wife play, if she doesn’t, just buy the round for yourself. Stay and play basically works out to a bogo if both of you are playing.
ETA, oak trail was good too, both are at the woodlands resort

The Woodlands Resort courses are pretty good.

Plenty of good places to play around the Woodlands.

The back 9 of the west course is nicer than the front but it’s a fun track.
The north has had some issues with the greens but it’s been better.

Used to be a member out there and played the Oaks (can’t remember if it’s North or West now, I think West) about a month ago. It was in phenomenal shape. Panther looks to be in a good shape too but I heard they got a fungus on a couple of the greens a while ago. Not sure if that’s been cleared up. Both are really fun courses

The oak is the west now, panther is the north. They still have some of the old signs up after the merge.
To the OP, are you looking for restaurants that are kid friendly or for just you and the wife?

There’s restaurants on the waterway that are next to a splash pad for the kids to play around in. Grimaldis (pizza) and Cyclone Anaya (Mexican) have outdoor seating with a view of said splash pad area

The courses are private now (Invited Clubs aka Club Corp) except they allow the resort to have a certain amount of tee times since it’s still a resort. Not sure how many but you definitely may want to call and find out the deal.
I live on the Oaks course. It’s in good shape considering the drought. IMO it’s better than Panther Trail. Both are fun courses.

Worked at both years ago. All I’ve got is that after the ClubCorp merger, when the hotel was built, they made a bunch of managers from the Southeast convene and do a convention.
It was an absolute shitshow of drunkenness.
I enjoyed every minute of it.

Try Woodforest at Fish Creek short drive from the Woodlands, very good course and you will be very happy.
Woodlands is a great place to stay, just pick most any place to eat and not that far from I10 just avoid rush traffic hours

They went private a couple years ago, he won’t be able to get on unless he knows someone. Fantastic course though

Fielding’s Wood Grill is another good place for food and drinks.
Posted on 6/28/22 at 7:46 am to Farside
Goode company has a Mexican place and a new seafood place that are both very good and kid friendly, the creekside area has a lot of kid friendly options otherwise another one that’s easy for lunch is republic grill, it’s kind of like Sammie’s if you’re from BR.
The waterway, Hughes landing and market street areas and most of the “downtown” of the woodlands is pretty corporate and chain restaurants, some decent options but nothing that will be great. We’ve taken our young kids to Hearsay before and they did fine, it’s the best food option in that area that is kid friendly.
