WELCOME GOLFERS & GUESTS
Welcome to Tour 18 Incorporated’s newest addition, Highland Pines Golf Club. As the first public access golf club in the Houston area to open in more than a decade, we are proud to offer luxury zoysia grass fairways, roughs & greens, previously only found at exclusive private facilities.
Highland Pines Golf Club is nestled on the banks of the San Jacinto River and winds through the river basin, then travels up through tall pines and hard woods to stunning views of lakes, meadows and valleys. The course stretches more than 7,200 yards from the back tees and has five sets of tees in all, each offering their own unique challenge. Conveniently located off the Grand Parkway, in Porter, Texas, the golf club is an easy commute from its sister courses, Augusta Pines Golf Club and Gleannloch Pines Golf Club.

Hole 1
The 1st hole is a par 4. The tee shot drops some 30’ from the ridge to the river basin. The fairway sweeps right with the ideal shot favoring the right side, but not too much – you’ll want to avoid the bunkers & lake. The green is guarded by a bunker right and collection areas deep on both sides. The safe play will leave you below the hole with an uphill putt for birdie. Before heading to #2, take a moment to look back down the fairway to the ridge where the clubhouse will sit.

Hole 2
The 2nd hole sits entirely in the river basin and relatively flat from tee to green. The fairway turns slightly left with a touch of slope down to a pond protecting the front and left sides of the green. A good tee shot from the chute will leave a short iron to the green. Your second shot needs to be “spot on”, distance control is key. Any shots long might find the one bunker on this hole. From back there, the odds you’re staring into the pond are pretty good. Anything short and the slope kicks you left and possibly wet. “Bail out” right? Safe for now, but par is no easy task as the green runs away and you’re looking into the pond again. Left is dead, no need to explain that. The middle of the green is a good shot any day.

Hole 3
The 3rd hole is a par 4. With five sets of tees, the hole plays anywhere from 320 to 475 yards. There’s just the one greenside bunker on this hole, so tee it high & let it fly. The second shot has most of the elevation change, take that into consideration when choosing clubs. When you get to the top, you’ll see the one bunker back left and collection areas everywhere else. The green sits in a little bowl, anything offline might get a favorable “kick” off the sideboards - don’t be short though, the ball could run back down the hill. You’ll need two well struck shots to have peek at birdie.

Hole 4
The 4th hole is our first par 3 and plays back down the hole we just climbed on #3. If you want to “tempt the tips”, then its 243 yards. The green is set at angle from the tee. The front of the green will see most of the birdies, middle & back pins will bring the bunker into play and bigger scores too. Like the first three holes, collection areas will grab any wayward shots. Once again, nothing wrong with the middle of the green and a two-putt par.
