Marsh at Kingwood Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Marsh Course at Kingwood came along 7 years after Island Course. The course plays through the marshlands around Lake Houston with water coming into play 12 times off the tee, making the tee shot critical to the round.
The first hole, a 406-yard par 4, doglegs right around a lake that cuts into the middle of the fairway. The par 5 No. 9 doglegs left and has water in play off the tee and on the approach. No. 15 is the most demanding hole-a 443-yard par 4 that involves cutting the corner of a long lake off the tee.
You can't overlook the par 3s on the Marsh Course, two of which require long irons and carry over water, and another that plays 205 yards into a green protected by a pond.

Not for the faint of heart!
The Island course in Kingwood is a fantastic challenge for golfers of all ability levels. There is ample water to negotiate, as suggested by the name of the course. The views of the lakes and rivers along the course are beautiful, and wildlife abounds. Today, the leaves were changing, and I tried to take a moment on each green to look back down the fairway and enjoy the vivid colors. The greens were smooth and a bit quick today, with one pin placement that sent my 30 foot uphill putt, which was one foot short, tumbling back to my feet for another run up the hill.
Of course, I just had to sample 5 of the traps, which have great sand due to recent refilling. I play the Senior tees,, but there are still 4 par 4s that I play as a par 5.... on in there and two putt. The par 5’s are all a nice challenge, with #6 and #18 as my two favorites. So, when you get the chance, strap on your “big boy or girl britches” and enjoy a great golfing challenge on the Kingwood Island course.
Great Time
Took some employees out for a round. Had a blast! Course is in terrific shape considering the recent weather. Beverage cart came around multiple times. Pace was perfect! Overall great time!
Great course. Friendly staff
I was scheduled to play golf with my son who’s a member. He was called away so they allowed me to play alone. Nice layout. Unfortunately it was cart path only.
Great time!
Beautiful course...great pace of play. Tees, fairways and greens are in excellent condition. Greens are super fast!
Difficult, but fun
The Island Course is one of five courses at Kingwood Country Club, perhaps one of the most golf-centric private clubs in the country. It seems people either love it, or could take it, but I've always found it memorable. The par 5s are unique, especially the 18th, which requires three good shots, or two great shots, navigating not only an island green, but an island fairway as well.
