It's already been said but in my opinion:

#1- Bluebonnet would be the best. Same terrain and scenery as Bluejack.

#2 Waterwood between Livingston and Huntsville. It used to be a nice course.

The video was also put on youtube in Oct 2021

When did they re-open Bluebonnet?

I don't think that they have. I just meant the raw land.

I might go Waterwood over Bluebonnet, with the Pete Dye and lake factor pushing it over for me. Unlike some other courses along water where the non-water adjacent holes are kind of duds, the inland holes at WW through the trees were great. Both excellent choices.

Might be heading that way this weekend. If so I'll grab some up to date pics.

Just got an email this afternoon saying that the course, Highland Pines Golf Club, is scheduled to open on Thursday, 11/17. They are still working out details on rates, memberships, etc.

Here is a link to the website for Highland Pines Golf Course which opens 11/17. There is a membership and public rates tab that provides more details.

125 bucks for a round on the weekend… damn.

Thats true, at Kingwood CC (member there) for guests, i think its 95. I guess it just depends on how well they are going to take care of the course. Augusta Pines i think is about $95 on the weekend and that doesnt include range balls. That course isnt worth 95. Its just all location driven at this point like you said.

You probably get a bag tag for your $7,500.

Asst Pro is listed as Jamey Taylor. If it's the guy I know, he was a member at Golfcrest when I was too. Played on the Canadian Tour and some other mini tours. Good player.

also heard the add on for people at Augusta Pines is only like $75/month extra. So the course is going to be packed with Augusta Pines people playing over there and then just public playing it for a while.

Just confirmed that it's him. Def a great player - won the City Am a while back to IIRC.

Good to hear. Hope it works out for him over there.

They are asking more than KWCC does for full membership with 4 courses, fitness, etc.

yep. i thought about leaving Kingwood because this is much closer to my house, but this is way overpriced for what you get out of the membership...

If KWCC is less than this it's a bargain. I've only been there a few times but I thought it was really good.

I have buddies who are members out at KWCC and their only complaint is full tee sheets and long ass rounds on the weekends.

They manage because they're close and can play on weekdays but they generally avoid the golf course on weekends.

Rack Rate for KWCC Full Golf is $1,500 initiation and $500/month. Slightly less for restricted times on weekends.

Kingwood is now a lot less crowded this time of year.

Super bummed at the price of this as the closest course to me. Suppose I'll just keep driving to Kingwood to play with my buddies over there.

Are the public fees at this place that far off from the guest fees at KWCC?

Guest fees are $95 at KCC and this is min $100. I'm sure I'll play it, but was thinking the member fees would have been much less.

Played the course yesterday, I'm a big fan. The layout is very nice, not something you see anywhere else in Houston. Zoysia grass isn't full grown in yet, but still very nice in most parts. The claim they are the only course in the country to have that Zoysia blend on their greens. A couple holes are a little tricked out, but it's not overboard. It's open off the tee, but the greens are insane. I didn't ask the pro what they were running, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were at 12-13 and they have some severe slopes to where if you're above the hole, good luck. Considering places like Cinco Ranch and Meadowbrook Farms charge $100+ these days, $125 for this course is not bad at all.

Greens as fast as augusta?

Played it today and absolutely loved the design. Course was overall in great shape. Greens were treacherous and faster than hell. Will definitely be going back


I also paid 90 bucks

Bump. Anyone played lately?

I played it last week. As has been said… really cool layout and design. It's got some real terrain to it.

I didn't realize it until the night before I played it, but it was designed by the same guy who designed Cypresswood Tradition (Keith Foster).

Greens and tee boxes were great, though I didn't make anything. I paid around $100 and I'll definitely be coming back.
