I just wanted to share my recent experience with this course. It is definitely worth the drive imo. Of course if you live in the Magnolia/Deep Northwest Houston area it isn't a big deal. But I drove form the Pearland area to play it and have no qualms about the hour or so it took to get there.
I found the course unique compared to other Houston area courses, in a variety of ways. First of all, its not a front 9 and back 9, but the course is divided into 3 six hole loops. Also, in addition to having a variety of tee boxes like other courses, the scorecard notes a split tee option in case one set of tees seems too long or too short.
I wouldn't say that the greens are lightning fast, but they gave a fair consistent roll and were in great condition. Plus there were subtle elevation variances throughout the courses that added to it. The holes had a good variety to them (imo), so I didnt get bored or the round didnt seem monotonous. Also, although there are houses on the course, they are set back from the fairway so its not very likely you'll be donating a lot of balls to backyards.
All in all I enjoyed my round there. I wish I would have shot better, but that's golf. If anyone else has played there, feel free to offer your perspective.
