Best Greens in Houston : March 2006

You are going to laugh if you haven't played there lately.

March's award for Best Greens in Houston goes to Wildcat golf course.

I found the Highland's course green sto be fast as owl STUFF and tremendously fun to putt.

They have already top dressed them (a benefit from no winter, and no trees) and the greens have recovered from the attention.

Approach shots stick and putts are challenging but true.

Wildcat - You win it !

I love these guys. They ask some solid and some off-the-wall questions and then summarize and make a special section. Truly a north Texas bias to the column on the best golf course in Texas. No 1 Course in Texas

Best Greens in Houston for February

WHO HAS THE BEST GREENS IN TOWN?
Trying times for grounds keepers in Houston so far this year. The winter grass is not doing very well, it is spring-like already. Temperatures are high but rainfall is invisible.

The February award for best greens goes to Black Horse golf club near Cypress Texas. Both the north course and south course have really fast greens that are in great shape. Seems like the north course greens were a little faster, but both putted true and looked better than averaged for this time of year.

Month of shame: What happened Cypress Lakes? Crusty and baked the day I played. So hard that nothing was staying on the green from approach shots. Looked like they were a day or two away from being dead.

Best Golf greens in Houston - January 2006

A good, hard battle this month.

River Ridge golf course has the best greens in the Houston area for the month of January.

Pretty challenging month for all greens keepers, no winter weather and no rain.

It probably didn't help that the wind blew all month (at least the weekends).

Congratulations to the grounds keeper and staff at River Ridge, keep up the good work.

River Ridge has 27 holes on the banks of the Brazos River near Sealy Texas.

Annual Award for the best greens in Houston:

This was an easy one - Cypress Lakes Golf Course.

Congratulations to Willie Plowman on his hard work.
He has the right attitude,

“When I ride my course in the morning,” Plowman said, “I look at it like I’ve
just paid $59, and my demands are a lot greater than the average player’s.”

Cypress Lakes is adjacent to Hwy 290 in far Northwest Houston.
