Our next tournament is being played at Lake Windcrest Golf Course located in good 'ole Egypt, TX. It's just outside The Woodlands area of Houston, about 25 minutes from our hotel. I went ahead and played my practice round yesterday because I knew today's weather was going to be bad. I was hoping to get out there again today to work on my putting but it rained the entire day.
My initial reaction to this golf course is that it's very fair....much like the last one. Most of the holes offer plenty of room off the tee which is good for me. The greens are normal size, but deceivingly tricky. There's subtle undulations everywhere which can create some tricky putts. Every downhill putt is sneaky fast and uphill putts can be the same. Chipping and pitching around these greens will be interesting so staying below the hole is the best advantage to getting up-and-down.
There really isn't anything unique about this course to help me describe it's design so there's not much more I can say on this preview. I would expect with good weather that the scores will be low. I'm hoping to get out to the course earlier than usual tomorrow to get a better feel for the speed of the greens. In my opinion, that's going to be the major factor this week.....as it always is for me. My tee time tomorrow is 11:00 off #1.
