I remember many years ago when Longwood was ""the"" public course to play in Houston. Not any more.
While they clearly have the most aggressive promotion around (bkfst, lunch and drinks for $39), you know the golf experience is bad when you can't wait for the breakfast.
Played the course twice in the last 6 weeks. My friend and I play early and fast (as a twosome). In both rounds, we were met with golfers teeing off on #10 and had to wait. Not good. Fortunately, they were nice and eventually let us play through, but it is still a pain.
The worst part if the course condition. I know we're in a drought, but the greens were in HORRIBLE shape and the fairways and tees weren't much better.
All in all, we got what we paid for I suppose, but Longwood is not the course of old. Maybe one day....
