Long Maze 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 16, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

The elevation on the course was pretty nice compared to most Texas courses. The grass seems to be cut very often and for the most part, well maintained. Nice new baskets that looked to have been installed for the 2017 Texas State tournament. Shaded/wooded area so it kept me out of the sun pretty well for most of the course. Would defiantly play here again if I was nearby.

Cons:

Man, some of these holes are longgggggggg. I don't know if they moved the baskets for the 2017 Texas State tournament but you have to be throwing consistently 350-400 to hit par are some holes. If it weren't for some temporary spray painted arrows on the grass to point where the next hole was, I would have been lost. There were some blue wooden poles that helped me find where the next tee pad was but most of the numbers were faded away. The weekend I played Milby it was fairly crowed with people playing soccer and cooking out under the trees blocking some of the baskets.

Other Thoughts:

Did not consider this course to be a professional level course but is very close to it. Holes 19(A), 20(B), 21(C), seemed to have been crammed into a small area. The area around the course is very industrial and you can hear the oil and gas machines while playing. I am not from the Houston area, and when I played here ,in early April, it was probably 80 degrees and the humidity was not fun. I could not imagine playing here in July and August.

Good Houston Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 1, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice new course in Houston. Used a range finder to determine that holes range from 250' to 600'. Some reviews are calling this the best course in Houston; but I think that Agnes Moffitt and TJ Jester are better courses for the weekend golfer at this point.

Cons:

Ankle high grass. Will need to be mowed more often than once per quarter. Hole 16 is currently missing. Tee posts still not in. Couldn't find tee for 13. Watch out for tree grove behind 17 hole. It's a water filled ditch that has no way to cross. Some holes are too close to Sims Bayou IMHO. The tree line is right on the water. A little too far left and you will lose a disc. All holes are also missing numbers.

Other Thoughts:

The park is also somewhat secluded. A patrol car drove right onto the course when I was playing. It may be unfounded, but I had some concerns about security.
