As basic as the checklist may be for most weekend and casual golfers in Houston — greens fees, speed of play, quality of course, availability of beer, to name the key criteria for most — some courses check all the boxes more easily than others, but no course checks them all more emphatically than Wildcat Golf Club. Since opening in 2001, Wildcat has become a destination for Houstonians seeking private-course qualities at a public-course price, including very reasonable (like, a few hundred bucks annually) membership fees. Perhaps belying the everyman price you can pay to golf at Wildcat, it's fairly routine to spot local athletes and celebrities golfing there, as the course's ownership group has long-standing relationships with all the major league teams in town. Additionally, the rolling hills and views of the city make Wildcat a superb option for corporate golf events, and the pristine clubhouse is an ideal spot to hold private events, even wedding receptions.
