Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course

Greens just went through aeration and roughs have quite a bit of hard pan with plenty of rocks and roots.
Hopefully, there will be improvement with the warmer months ominh up and better maintenance.

This Golf Course is beautiful but there are people destroying the golf course, picking up balls at the range so they can save $9 and some playing the par 3 with buckets of range balls without even paying to play, there’s even a guy who comes everyday in a black lexus with texas plates and one employees (young skinny black guy) comes over to hand him a bunch of free range balls while a bunch of other people go and fill their buckets for free while paying customers wait not to hit them…
Extremely slow groups who won’t let anyone play thru, and nobody cares. It’s like the manager lives in a cave inside the clubhouse! Course is going downhill! Sad but true! I hope they get someone who cares and bring this back to what it used to be!

There were 3 groups in front of me. It was too slow after Hall #9 making me wait for almost 10 minutes for the rest of the course. I think the tee times should be controlled more accurately.

No Starter
Confusing start time
Angry and mad player due to frost delay and start time
For a nice neighborhood course, terrible experience with staff and people

Great staff, very accommodating. Soon as I get there they allow me to go straight out, finished round in three hours. Great course, looking forward to playing it in the summer when the grass is green. Nice consistent greens.

I find the course layout okay, though the lack of a flat lie in a fairway can be frustrating. Generally light on staff, and encountered really annoying technology (GPS) glitches with the carts.

I now know why it’s name The Woodlands…I get that’s it’s fall/winter golf, but the amount of leaves on the course was ridiculous. Combine in the cart locking on the cart path multiple times, with having to call the pro shop once to get it unlocked, we stopped after 9 holes. Greens were excellent, pace of play was good and pro shop staff are always great.

Pace of play was slow due to issues with the carts. Several times we had to drive up the cart path in reverse due to the GPS locking the cart while on the cart path.

Local residents actually blocked the cart paths on hole 5 or 6 while having a family gathering. Sat on the cart path having a party while my group was putting with no courtesy in regards to noise.

Extra charge for rider $35. Extra charge for range balls $9. I paid for 2 Green fees at $78 each. Why not throw in some range balls. Would have been nice to know the course doesn’t go back to the clubhouse . Ordered a snack after eighth hole to pick up at the turn only no turn. Girl said it would be waiting for me when I finished. That would be two hours later. I don’t want it then. Best part about the round were the two nice ladies we played with. Phyllis and Cindy.

We played the Woodlands for the first time and were very underwhelmed. For the money we could have played much nicer courses in the area. We got a hot deal for $85 on a Friday and could not imagine paying full price or posted weekend rates. We won’t be playing here again.

The greens were in good shape but outside of that this is not worth 130.00 maybe 70.00 - 80.00 max!!
