Gus Wortham Park Golf Course

Maybe it's the area, maybe it's the course. But was surprised to arrive after booking to find that Sr rate was for over 65 vs 55.
No carts in the parking lot was another small item that was odd to me.
Enjoyed the course but pace of play was really slow for a weekday.

I admit. Thought it would be a “get right” day on an easy muni. Doesn’t look all that challenging from the road on the way there. Wrong. The layout has well placed bunkers, lots of turtle back greens, and some tough carries. I was frustrated by the tight lies around the greens, but that’s to be expected in winter conditions. I had several shots run through the greens, which made for tough, short-sided flop shots coming back with not enough grass to get the job done. Add a strong wind to the equation and it turned into a tough day. Still enjoyed the course and the staff. The starter treated us like we were old friends. The greens were in excellent shape. The bunkers had consistent sand. I wanted to come back and have another try at it, but the place was booked solid. I know why now. It’s a great test of golf for a fair price.

We played Gus last Friday, 1/7 and the greens were in excellent shape. Returned a week later to find them peppered with ball marks. It’s unbelievable that some players or hacks don’t take the time to fix a simple ball mark. The greens can’t handle this barrage for very long.

The HGA has done well to bring back Gus only to have it “assaulted”. Tell the players when they check in to please fix their ball marks. Have the marshals ask some players too. If the players get upset, good then maybe they won’t come back!

Those of us who used to play Gus “back when” have and do appreciate the hard work the HGA has done.

Save money playing here
Green’s scary good
Must try this course if you haven’t

Green are fantastic
Better than course s that charge twice
I recommend it
Please don't play here I want to play here
So pace of play is faster

Played yesterday, and i would've given ut a 5 stars but the greens were a bit sandy and the tee boxes were combined to grow in other boxes, BUT other than that this place is magnificent! Always a great course to play!

This was one of the best courses i’ve played at in a long time. The course was very well kept up with. The only thing that bothered me was the pace of play. Had 2 guys in front of us all day playing slower than anyone i’ve ever seen and wouldn’t let us play through….but hey i’ll take that being the only downside.

This is the epitome of "Diamond in the ruff." Greens are spectacular!

Help this course and obey the carts on path signs. I played at 1:30 with a heat index in the 100's. My buddy and I were paired with a retired gentleman and his daughter. We all survived while respecting the cart path rules. Keep this course great all, please.

Great conditions and greens. Can’t beat the price and beer price good too.
