Lakes at Wildcat Golf Club

The Lakes course at Wildcat Golf Club is a Roy Case design located in Houston, Texas. Case, a regional architect active in Texas during the latter decades of the twentieth century, created a layout that reflects the flat, humid Gulf Coast terrain characteristic of the Houston area. The course occupies land typical of the region's coastal plain, where water management and strategic use of lakes and wetlands become central to both playability and routing.

The design incorporates multiple water features throughout the property, as the course name suggests, with lakes and ponds coming into play on numerous holes. In the Houston climate, these water hazards serve both aesthetic and drainage purposes while adding strategic dimensions to approach shots and risk-reward decisions. The relatively level topography means that elevation change is minimal, placing emphasis on accurate shotmaking, course management around water, and reading subtle green contours.

Wildcat Golf Club operates as a daily-fee facility serving the Houston golf market, providing accessible public golf in a metropolitan area with substantial year-round demand. The Lakes course offers a straightforward test suited to a range of skill levels, with the water hazards providing the primary defense and strategic interest. The layout reflects the practical design sensibilities common to Texas municipal and public courses from its era, prioritizing playability and maintenance efficiency in the challenging Gulf Coast growing environment.
