Pasadena Municipal Golf Course

Not the nicest or the cheapest, but highly entertaining. And it’s a good day when you can get 18 in without getting nailed by a stray golf ball.
An ex-​military par 3 course, grew up and turned in to a 18 hole municipal golf course nested up against the airport. This place has alot going for it, a great layout, scenic holes, undulations on almost all greens, and some real interesting terrain.
But at the end of the day, it’s not a place I would come back to.
1. Being hit up/​in to from all different angles by hackers multiple times. it’s a real heart throbbed combined with the rumble of fighter jets taking off near by.
2. terrible sand bunkers.
3. slow greens. Very…
This course got characters for days, from the friendly staff with their 2 fat range dog’s, to the Smoked sausage and food lady that’s been here for 30+ years. Just need some golf etiquette and greens grooming help.

Played there a year ago and agree with the reviewers who say management is not very welcoming to outsiders.
As for the layout, when the Air Force owned it, it was a great walking course. But to stop the walkers, they came up with this crazy layout that makes you drive hundred of yards to get to the next green, so you have to rent a cart. It is so stupid, people get lost and when you finish nine you can’t buy a coke because you are in the middle of nowhere.
Greens keeper does a good job and the ponds and birds are relaxing. But whoever appointed his brother-​in-​law to manage the course needs to be voted out of office because that boy has no idea how to manage a public golf course.

Personally I see this course is very good for beginners such as myself. If you are someone who is fairly decent at the game and looking to learn how to play an actual course it is kept well enough for us to do that. Very large fairways allow for an easy drive the par threes are just hard enough to keep us thinking. There are a lot of hazards if you are worried about hitting left and right shots something to be wary of. I do understand what all these other reviews are saying as far as the fairways not being well-​kept. However I played in January and it was gets well enough for it being the wintertime. As for my experience, I played during the weekday $ 24 for all fees and 18 holes so it felt very much worth it. We did get lost once or twice because the layout is not very well explain. The directions to each hole is written with spray paint on the ground. Overall as a beginner this is definitely a four-​star place to hone your skills

Alright, Pasa-​get-​down-​dena!!! Let me give you some local knowledge on the course. If you are looking for a great course, head down the road. Pasadena is a great learning course with not the best conditions. Fairways are not treated and the greens are not the best. But it is a golf course and great for beginners. Also, on the turn there are great sausage dogs! Also the marshall is gone. The guy was a douche, but we always just laughed at him.
Secret inside knowledge — (my friends will hate me for this). Go golfing here on the weekend of the air show. If you like that sort of thing. the course is right against elington field. There truly is nothing like drinking a beer and putting on hole 15 will an F22 raptor is doing its thang over head. Me and my friends go every year, not for the course but the experience.

Too bad Unilocal doesn’t have zero stars. Do not waste your time at this golf course. Bad experience especially with the wanna-​be cop Marshall. The Marshall was very rude from the first hole and kept chasing us for No reason. The course is not well managed and not well labeled unless you can read the spray painted sign on asphalt. The only person that was normal and kind was the drink cart woman. There are better golf courses for a few dollars more so please don’t waste your time or money. First and last time at this s**t hole

Okay, first let me say that the course is not overly impressive, but the overall rating deserves 3 stars.
The fairways are not mowed properly, but the greens are in good shape and the fairways and rough have grass, not hardpan dirt. The thing that impressed me the most was the fact that when I told they guy in the pro shop this was my first time playing the course he paired me up with a regular. Playing with someone who knows the course helps, since the layout is not all that easy to figure out if you haven’t played there before. The round was enjoyable, but did take just a little over 4 hours to play. The guy I was paired with suggested that it does not normally play that slow, though.
The course is not that difficult, but there’s trouble to be found if you’re not careful. There’s water on quite a few holes and OB on a couple more.
Overall, I was impressed with the course for the price. On a Sunday morning I paid $ 30 + tax for a round of golf with a cart. That’s a pretty good deal. The only thing I would suggest on this course would be for them to mow the fairways better.

My husband has been playing there on occasion for years, mostly due to it being convenient on his way home from work. Have heard him complain over the pace of play and the lack of etiquette of players but everyone has been pretty friendly so it he has never really made a fuss about it only mentioning it to me. BUT today he said he write a review…“I was treated like a white trash thug AFTER my game this morning when inquiring about reserving the course for a fundraiser”. «The man at the counter was rude, abrupt and after looking me up and down dismissed me like a homeless man begging for a handout!» Now my husband is 6’2″ 240lbs, shift super working 7 – 12′‘s on nights, coming off a shift to get his usual round in for the week. He said the man saw him on the course… regardless not very businesslike. He won’t be back and neither will the men he was with who were also appalled by the treatment and desperately wanted to go back in and say something to the man.

Economical course for the price and quality. The fairways are ok, the greens are green, no brown patches. Its really windy in on this course. The pace of play could be a lot better. There are individuals who cut in front and are a bit ghetto! Overall though a decent course to work on your game and of course there is the friendly slithering eco animal — watch where you step. Would I go baack yes, just not sure it will be that soon. Staff is friendly.

Okay i have taken time out of my busy schedule to write this review based on 5 — 6 times i have played on this course. I am not complaining about the course itself, its okay for the price. However the Marshalls are freaking idiots who act like they are better than Timbercreek, go way out of their way to pair people up, and are total Douchebags. I am hispanic and i am getting the feeling that some of the caucasian people who play there may be somewhat racist, and do not respect other people while playing. The group behind us seemed like they were in a big hurry driving the ball and hitting while we were still playing the hole. We were on the green putting and had balls rolling up the green, Really? i finally told these idiots WTF is the rush we still have the group infront of us barely teeing off on the next whole regardless you dumbarses are going to have to wait. Another time again white/​caucasian descent group behind us skipped us on the tenth hole on to the 11^th hole because they didnt want to wait obviously. Only when we finsihed the 10^th hole we drive up to the 11^th hole and them idiots are waiting for the other group barely teeing off, so either way them dumbarses were still waiting but know we had to wait double. I have gotten into issues like this 4 out of the 6 times i have been there. Bleep these mofo white boys who think they own the course and have no golf ettiquette. I will take my money and spend it elsewhere, i rather spend 40 $ or more than spend 27 $ on a shitty course filled with Douchebags!

Ok now this is the very first place I have ever swung the sticks (played golf… get your mind out of the gutter). I have been coming to this course called Ellington Field by many ever since I was at the young age of 5. My dad would take me with him while he and his father played a round. On hole 11 my dad always let me hit a few balls into the pond. In fact my grandfather still plays here twice a week. I can honestly say that I know this course like the back of my hand.
This course is well kept for a public course with ALOT of water hazards. Water is in play on almost every hole. Wide open fairways, very large greens and very friendly staff make this golf course a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Make sure you nail the green because all greens are raised about 15 – 20 ft high. If you overshoot, you got a long chip shot to get back on.
Cheap fees, especially during the twilight season. Thank you Jolyn for finding the prices for me. Great course for a great price… try it out.
I strongly recommend playing during the Wings over Houston Airshow. Its great, but get used to loud noises in the middle of your back-​swing. Its good for you, it makes you a better golfer.

I was taken, er, um ok dragged to play golf once. Only once. I don’t know much about golf, this is perfectly ok with me, but what I saw at this course was impressive for a public course. Ok, I had to ask the guys actually hitting the balls, but they thought it was a pretty good value too…
