West Fork Golf

Horrible course! I hate leaving such bad reviews but this course is really letting itself go. If you look on
, besides myself, many people complain about the pace.
When I say pace, today, I played and had to skip 4 holes because 70+ year old guys in 4somes would not let me play through, as a single! I called the pro-​shop and the guy said to «skip them and come back to play that hole.» Seriously? I’m going to finish 18, then go cut in front of other people to finish playing 4 holes? You have to be kidding. NO MARSHAL!!!
On the 15^th hole, it was the last straw… I ended up behind a 5some!!! I played 2 SLOW holes behind them and finally on 17 skipped them for my 4^th skipped hole of the day! None of these groups allowed me to go through, I would just play around them. I told the 5some, «you need to let a single go through,» which they snapped back and told me that there were 2 other 5somes in front of them, all their friends, and I should deal with it! Needless to say I got on the 18^th hole, pissed off, and no one was even in the fairway!!!
I called the pro-​shop twice and not once was anyone sent out on the course to deal with the situation. This course is almost to Lake Conroe so it’s a trek from Houston, especially with morning traffic. This was the third time I’ve played here and I could tell the last time that this course was beginning to be over crowded with elderly people (just being honest, 70+ yr old golfers). There are to many courses in Houston to play that do not allow this type of crap to go on. I do not, at all, recommend this course.
In regards to conditions, the tee boxes were horrible, greens looked like they hadn’t been cut in a few days (incredibly slow!), and most of the bunkers were in horrible condition.

Played West Fork again yesterday.
It’s in pretty good condition for winter golf.
The greens were fast, but a little bumpy. As with many golf courses in this price range, you will not find pristine conditions, with a bigger maintenance budget, it could be better. That could be said about many though. So, don’t expect it. The layout is interesting and gives you opportunity to work the ball on a few holes, while having some elevation changes, water and bunkers to deal with along the way. But overall being pretty straightforward.
So, decent golf at a decent price.
3.5 stars.
