Gus Wortham Park Golf Course

My favorite course for price
Please try it will bring you back

I was impressed with the changes and improvements at this course. Cold day but the course was in first class shape. Staff and facilities are fantastic

First time playing city course now run by Houston Golf Association. Starter kept the tee off pace going. Was paired with two other players with experience on the course. This was helpful. Course is located in the city so there is more noise in the area. Was impressed with course.

Got paired with a random. Great game of golf and very long par 5s

Really frustrating when the group in front is completely behind. When you have a hole wide open in front of them and 3 groups on a hole you have slow play.

Usually, there are marshalls, not yesterday. Love the course but that was unacceptable.

If you get a chance to play here make the time to do it. Greens were super fast and hole placement was very challenging.

They really need a course Marshall to keep up pace even though it’s a public course and more parking availability.

First-timers at Gus see the length and think it’s an executive course. But fast, undulated greens and nonstop wind make this a fun, interesting challenge.

Course is always in great shape and the people you meet at Gus are a great cross-section of our city. Always recommend it.

The more vibrant, beloved local golf courses I get to see, the more I want to see. Places like this are the heart and hearth of golf in America.

The course serves up everything you want in a muni: an affordable, splendidly conditioned, compact, loud, occasionally idiosyncratic and extremely walkable course in a bustling area (not to mention world-class tacos at Monchy's less than five minutes away).

The course is not overly long at 6,400 yards from the tips, but with a set of adventurous, relatively small greens, it will bite you repeatedly if you're careless or overly aggressive. The par 5s are gettable, and there are some short par 4s where joy and pain get doled out roughly equally. The intimidating, slightly awkward uphill par 4 18th requires your best swing of the day if you want to make the long carry over a creek in order to get to safety and a wedge approach. Whether you succeed or fail, you'll probably want to go back to the first tee again. Good thing: at $40 to walk, you can probably afford to.

This course offers a real challenge to your overall game except for the driver. The fairways were so wide you can't miss -well maybe twice. It was a unique golfing experience seeing a lot of natural terrain in Houston, which was hilly. I played the blue tees and found that at my age, playing the white ones would have made the round more fun. The greens were well protected by those bunkers and the sand within them just about perfect on this day. I don't recall seeing a weed on the course. WOW! The most difficult aspect of this course was the greens. They were the toughest I recall ever playing.
