What can you say about Dicks? Since the pricing is similar at each location, I'll skip that point. Located in The Woodlands Mall, this location stands out for the following reasons: -Centrally located, their connecting parking lot is one of the most coveted at the Woodlands Mall. -This location remains clean, and staff is always readily available. -They have a huge selection including those you may not expect, like Free people movement. -They do a pretty good job representing most major sports. However, my favorite feature of the store is the restroom. While it's no fancier than your traditional Walmart restroom, it beats the general mall restroom and is always less populated. While this is not the only store in the woodlands mall with an independent restroom, it's the only one that allows me to use one and then purchase gear for all of my various sports, which is a score for me ...pun intended. read more

Very helpful worker at the batting cage, helped me understand which bat would best suit my daughter. I also had a good experience looking for shoes for my son. That section was busy but being handled very well. Overall this Dicks has tons of clothes, shoes, sports equipment/accessories. There's always a sale rack too! read more

Picked up a backpack that was ordered online the week before school started. I was shocked that more items were not available in store. However, the pick up process was so easy and I believe delivery only took one day. read more

One Star - Discriminatory Treatment at Dick's Sporting Goods Batting Cage I visited the Dick's Sporting Goods location at Woodlands Mall on December 20, 2025, around 3:30 PM with my son to use the batting cage, a service we paid for. What should have been a positive experience turned into blatant discriminatory treatment by an older male employee (white hair, beard, thin build, appeared to be Hispanic) working the batting cage area. To be clear: anyone of any background can engage in discriminatory behavior, and that's exactly what happened here. When we entered the cage, it was already a mess with balls and bats scattered everywhere from the previous customers, a woman and her child whom this same employee had just been assisting. We didn't complain; we just started our paid session. While my son was batting, he accidentally made contact with the t-post. This employee shouted at him from across the store, "Hey, that's a $300 bat." Not a polite request to be careful. Not a conversation. A public reprimand from a distance, as if we couldn't afford to replace equipment or were being intentionally careless. When our time ended and we left the batting cage, he came up to me again and, full of sarcasm, he said, "Hey, baseball guy, can you go back in there and pick up all the balls?" The same mess that previous customers had left, which he had never asked them to clean, and which was already there when we arrived. I paid for a service, not a cleanup shift, but I didn't want to escalate in front of my child, so we complied. As we left, he made a sarcastic comment about being a "gentleman and a scholar": passive-aggressive condescension wrapped in polite words. Here's what I observed during the 40 minutes I was there: He watched us like a hawk the entire time we were in the store. He was pleasant and helpful with other customers who appeared to be white, including the woman whose child left the mess we were told to clean up. He stopped what he was doing specifically to police our behavior. This is textbook discriminatory treatment, the kind of microaggression that people of color experience regularly in retail spaces. I don't work for Dick's Sporting Goods. I was a paying customer trying to spend quality time with my son. Instead, we were surveilled, publicly reprimanded, and required to perform cleanup duties that other customers were not. To other customers of color: be aware of how you may be treated at this location. To management: Your employee's behavior on December 20, 2025, from approximately 3:30 to 4:10 PM was unprofessional, discriminatory, and created a hostile environment for my son and me. This employee made my son visibly uncomfortable, and you should consider yourselves fortunate I chose not to make a scene in your store. I don't anticipate corporate accountability, but I wanted this documented. read more

Trey always the best ask for him and he'll find it or have it to your house in no time

Dicks is a great place to go is you want to use a POS computer system to request shoes to try on, then wait 15 minutes for a guy to come tell you they don't have the size. read more

Great store with great selection but the cashier was very rude. I'm going to guess the cashiers name is Xotchil based on my receipt. I felt like I was being rushed through the transaction even though I only bought two items and there was only one person behind me in line. After I paid she threw the bag aggressively on the counter and yelled to called the next customer in line. I'm not expecting Chic Fil A style customer service, but I don't think that's how you treat customers read more

Don't buy shoes here unless you want to grow old by the time you get shoes that fit. Stopped here to get some new shoes and stood around for about 15 minutes waiting for the half dozen sales people to finally help me. They actually all disappeared for about 5 minutes then j finally accosted a sales person to help me. Then waited another 10 minutes for the two people working the back to call me with my shoes. All during this time the workers sat around complaining about each other. Finally got my shoes and they were not the size I asked for but the shoe runner was long gone by then. Finally said screw it and wrote it off as 40 minutes of my life j will never get back. I will never return j mess they fix their sales model. read more

Worst shoe department customer service I've ever encountered. Thete is no system. The kids that work there just randomly select someone to wait on. Not one smile. Miserable acting. I left without purchasing the $200 pair of shoes. Fleet Feet from now on. I'll never go back to Dicks. read more

The whole area is full of Dick's, but everyone seems to love Dick's, so it works out. Dick's is a very overpriced Sporting Goods store and some of the employees take after the name of the franchise. I come here whenever it's an emergency and I don't want to bother go looking around cheaper stores. They usually have the right stuff, like NKOTB did, but you usually get ripped off. Some of the employees are pretty helpful, depends which one you get. read more

This store seems yo have gone for form over substance. Their selection was limited. Rather than have racks with choices they have opted for a "pretty" presentation, cutting down on selections. ADDITIONALLY, I received an email from Dick's with LOTS of sales items and choices that I know fit my arches. I could not find a single one of these at the store. I can order online for a number o f things but due to my arch issues, I have to actually try shoes on. I will not be going back there. I will pay more and go to NewBalance or another retail store dealing in walking shoes, read more

Always a long line and one cashier. Same in shoes - one person to help everyone. If you use a reward that you earned from prior purchases, then later return that item, they deduct the reward from your return and you just loose the reward - that is crap! We know you're not spending money on payroll and your prices are more expensive than anywhere else - Dick's is literally my last stop, when I can't get it anywhere else. read more

I usually have a very average experience when shopping at this store, mostly for soccer cleats. The last time I shopped at Dick's (11/9/24 around 2pm) the store clerks were very helpful in providing shoes and cleats to try on, but I had to wait for almost 10 minutes before receiving any assistance. The prices were also a bit on the higher end. The cleats I was shopping for, Puma Future 7 Pro FG/AG, were priced $140 in store despite being available for $70 on amazon and the official Puma website as of December 2024. All in all, the customer service was satisfactory, not bad but not exceedingly great either. read more

Like everyone else who posted a negative review, this one is for curbside service. It's non existent if all 4 spots are occupied w/parked cars w/o drivers in them. Where's the service now? read more

DICK'S Sporting Goods - Curbside parking is full w/no one in their cars! The guy w/the canoe waited for help to arrive to load by his friends, not staff. - Sports Wear Near Me - The Woodlands, Texas

Omar and Tristan were so helpful! I purchased $800 worth of shoes. They were kind and let me try on 30 pairs of shoes.

The return Policy was very Good. I ordered the wrong size shoe and was able to return it with no trouble

What do you think the lease amount per month is on Dick's? It's two stories and the size of a department store. Tip: a lil phone case kiosk is $10,000 per month in this mall. Well my guess is very, very expensive. When you first walk in Dick's you see lovely young workers clustered together chatting at the register. What a relaxing sports store. Zero pressure, zero help. Maybe I should get a job here for health benefits. Just think no work and all play. This is my second visit to this lovely store with all the medium to high end brands mostly of sports attire. They also sell outdoors recreation items. I needed help a couple times but no one was available anywhere in sight. Maybe they should install an intercom system where customers could buzz the front register and plead one of the relaxed workers to come help them. Seriously though the stores biggest problem is no sales people in the different departments. Maybe they are trying to give service like Amazon. After all Amazon is very successful. Secondly the prices are high. I've seen quite a few of the middle priced lines of sportswear priced higher and lack of enough sales. Since my first visit I have purchased the same merchandise elsewhere for less. Really sad because there is so much more potential! I get so much more help and better pricing at one of their main competitors right outside the mall. Yelp Review #404 read more

I wish I could give 0 stars...first off I was waiting 15 minutes just to try on some $80 shorts and when the guy finally showed up he acted like I caused him major trouble...I said thank you and he didn't say a word then stormed off. Then I get home and they didnt even take off the security tag. They just can't compete with Academy with their prices so you think they would have amazing customer service.. didn't surprise me when I noticed they have a 2 star rating... read more

I had to reorder some pants because Dicks sent me something other than what I ordered. I had to drive way out of my way to pick it up because this was the only store that had the size I needed. Anyway no big deal, we expect this kind of thing. On my way to pick up the pants I called ahead to make sure that a picture of my drivers license along with the email confirming the curbside pick up would be enough to pick up the pants I had already paid for. Whoever answered the phone told me that I would need my actual picture of my drivers license would not do even though I have a confirmation email. I got asked him to ask the manager so he went last manager the manager told us we needed to have the physical drivers license even though he knew it was a huge convenience to go all the way home to get the drivers license and then drive all the way to the woodlands. Anyway when we go we got a text message on the phone saying that our order is been confirmed and we would not need any drivers license or Id. Ha! I just wasted hour and a half of my time! Whoever is in charge up here needs a good talking to or worse. You shouldn't treat your customers this way. read more

Zero stars. How ridiculous to have the only 2 cashiers by the entry way also fielding internal calls and issues on their headsets. As a customer, when I tell you twice i do not want a bag for my shoe box, but you're so distracted and slow due to not paying attention to me because you're on your headset talking to someone else, poor. when i acknowledge "I said I didn't need a bag" and you still haven't a clue what just happened, zero stars. Shop at Academy. read more

I don't understand the negative reviews. If you want a weapon go to Academy or a gun store, or a pawn shop. This store is immaculate with an abundance selection of fitness gear and attire. Bought mouth guards and some other quality fitness products. Plus their style is up to date. Whatever you buy here you are going to get attention and compliments from others. read more

Only because I had to put a star. Deplorable service. Curbside is a joke. Waiting 30 minutes is not out of the ordinary. Smh..

Horrible management with nothing but kids running the store. It's unfortunate as they have the best products for athletes. I asked 2 different clerks for help. One of them ran from me giggling and the other told me they would be right back and never came back. When leaving the store, the be back person was in the parking lot, smoking. They need to completely dismantle the employees and start over. Plus the stores merchandising is confusing and dangerous if you bring the kids. Store needs some cleaning as they clothing laying on the floor and not just a few garments. I did get good help from the gentleman in the shoe department. But that's were it stops. Corporate needs to reconsider the hiring practices and need to visit this store asap. I personally do t see this store being opened by this time next year. read more

I have literally been in here for an HOUR! No one knows how to spool a rod n reel and no one knows how to issue a fishing license!

They will NEVER get another dime from me! read more

I was recently in your store (first time) looking for tennis shoes and could not find them. I asked a sales person where they were and he showed me the two that you had out. He said that that wasn't all the tennis shoes that you had but they were in the back. I asked how I would know which ones I wanted in the back and he said I couldn't So I tried on a pair I picked out and went to the front to buy with a $20 coupon and they said it didn't work on that model. I did not buy them and it will be the last time at your store. PS - I purchased a pair of ASICS tennis shoes on Academy's website and found the same ones on your website and Academy was $10 cheaper than you. Looks like I made a good decision read more

Poor customer service! No sense of urgency at all! As if my time wasn't valuable at all! On a Tuesday at 5 pm I waited in line for almost 20 minutes to be checked out. Only one single register opened & about 15-20 ppl in line. The manager came and instead of helping in the check out area, he brought and inexperienced associate to help and made matters worse. The manager should've had put himself in a register to assist the single cashier. When I asked the cashier to request for more help her answer was; " sir I don't make the schedule around her". Well, who ever makes the schedule needs to rethink their position. read more

My 11 year old son is crushed. Thanks a lot Dick's. I must now say that this store is aptly named. My husband and son were instructed to be at the store, bright & early this morning to stand in line for a wristband in order to be able to come back later in the day to be able to meet Earl Campbell and get an autograph. They (and everyone else who showed up to wait in line for a wristband) were told that they should bring one item for Mr.Campbell to autograph when they come back at 3:30pm for the signing. Many people bought Oilers helmets and other pricey items that were (very conveniently) placed front and center just inside the store on an Earl Campbell shrine-like display. My husband and son waited anxiously (yet again) Oiler cap in hand, in a long, back-breaking line for Mr. Campbell to show up. Mr. Campbell arrived at 4:20. At 5:10, my guys finally made it to the table only to be told that Mr. Campbell would not be signing any items (items we were I instructed to bring, mind you) but instead would sign a cheap, blurry, "Dick's" branded "photo" card. They were told this after watching the first several lucky people who indeed walked away after getting their personal item signed (shoe, helmet etc.). Why lie to people, get their hopes up, make them wait and wait again only to let them down? Sounds like a bait & switch to me. And Dick's, you did this to children. Shame! It's back to Academy for this family- they've always treated us right so they will continue to get our busine$$. read more

Dicks is essentially the upscale version of Academy, and while some things are decent deals on sale, Academy has them beat. The nice thing about Dicks is the location if you're going to brave the mall. The store is decent size, two levels and fairly well lit and organized. Personally they waste space with all the various "workout" clothes...more than half the first floor is spandex! Nothing against it, but they could carry other things if they would reduce that section a bit. Team sports and shoes they have a good variety. Fishing and marine type items they're a bit lacking. If you're looking for hunting/firearms, don't waste your time coming here. They do have an in house bike shop, but really nothing but their overpriced house brand and a few lower end models of some better known brands...go to sun n ski or one of the. Bike shops around if you're looking for that. We came in looking for a specific winter sport item they happened to have for my wife. Other than that I'll probably reserve my visits for the few times a year I go to the mall and only look for sale items...everything else I can get at Academy cheaper. read more

Took my wife bike to bike lane they told my 3 weeks just to get it service so I called dicks sporting goods Mark pick up and told me he can fix it same day he provided excellent customer service he even came out to my truck to get the bike 5 stars highly recommend dicks sporting goods for bike services. read more

Got shafted at the grand opening. Earl Campbell was there to sign autographs. waiting three hrs. we were not allowed to have have our items that were purchased at the store to be signed by Earl. It is not his fault, but management did a poor job communicating this. Shame on you Dick's. Needless to say, many people returned there items. Crowd was restless. read more

Wanted to buy a baseball glove and get it steamed but after waiting 20 mins for anyone to assist/acknowledge us, we decided to leave. We couldn't find an employee to save our lives lol read more

This place needs a customer service overhaul. Clerks and stockers are clueless about the inventory, use, or price.

Poor customer service. 25 mins in a checkout line when they have 4 registers with 1 person. Need to review your employee staffing!

I'm giving a 5 to Mike McQuitty in the bike department. He was very helpful and knowledgeable and helped us fix our bike problem without any trouble. We were grateful for his kindness and generosity. We will return because of him. read more

The worst customer service. Go to Academy. After waiting in the section for 30min I tracked down a sales man. The sale man new nothing of the products, even though it was his section, and answered my questions with sure and I guess so. Do yourself a favor go to Academy. Do not know if they will have better customer service do better but they could not have worse customer service. read more

Awful store, ridiculous levels of bad. I even created an account just to express my opinion. Let's rewind to January of 2017. My first venture into the store resulted in me getting pestered by annoying cashiers who begged me to get a rewards card or else "they'd get in trouble", searching hours across the store to find an coworkers to assist me, and two friendly young retailers who got chewed out by their manager for helping me out, which she referred to as "doing nothing". The manager then walked past a worker casually texting on her phone asked her "what's up, girl?" So texting is hard work but actually doing your job isn't? You could read all about it on the DSG Facebook page, where I posted a lengthy review discussing my terrible experience...only to find my review, and several other negative reviews, deleted! So here I am again, on a site I know for sure my voice will stay protected... I went in my second time a month ago to buy workout clothes, I suppose in a desperate attempt to see if anything had changed. Somehow, it was even worse than before! The managers are extremely rude and condescending, talked down to me like I was stupid...that is, if they were actually helping me out. A hispanic female manager named Ruby ignored me after several minutes and when I finally got to her, I could tell she was very annoyed and clearly wanted to keep chatting with her employees. Not surprisingly, she was also the same manager that loudly chewed out the two young men for helping me out several months prior. No wonder she yelled at those two gentlemen, she thinks STANDING AROUND and CHATTING is the true definition of hard work! Another manager, a male who's name escaped me (I think Rupert or Rubin), came to "assist" me but did not help out, instead telling me what I already knew and leaving me alone, again. At this point, I should clarify that the store is practically vacant of workers. No matter how busy the day is, there never seem to be more than 2-3 retailers on the floor at once, sometimes even less. It's a ghost town. For a store this massive, that's ridiculous. I finally find a girl to assist me, but it's the girl who was texting from months before...and guess what? She's of no help and would rather focus on texting than assisting me! I asked where the two boys from last time were, and through smacks of bubble gum chewing and with her face glued to her iPhone, she tells me that they were long fired for not doing their jobs. I hope they found a place that respects them because they were the only two people in the entire store who knew what they were doing. I should probably get to the actual store. It's nice and modern looking, but the prices are abnormally expensive and the selection is laughably limited. I came in to buy a SHSU shirt because my nephew just got accepted there, and despite it being a major university only 15 minutes north, they had not a single SHSU item on sale! Oh, but they had plenty of LSU and Ole Miss stuff. But not of the local college? Give me a break. It might be better if the managers weren't all stuck up egotistical college grads just trying to make extra money. After the same awful experience twice in a row, I tried to complain to a manager named Tory about the experience, but instead of listening to me, she gave me all of these passive-aggresive stares like she was going to kill me. She even rolled her eyes and said "whatever you say" in a clearly agitated voice. Unbelievable. Never in my years of shopping have I EVER had a manager say that to my face. At that point I just gave up and walked away, never EVER to return. Overall, horrible experience. There's a hidden review on here claiming to be from an ex-employee of this location, saying the managers were dictators and chose favorites. I absolutely believe it. Nobody knew how to do their jobs and the managers were all fresh college grad ex-frat students. No management to be seen here, move along. It's a shame because the store is beautiful and should be so much better than it actually is. *sigh* read more

Lots of stuff. Higher price than Academy, but sometimes convenience is worth it. But I HATE when stores lock dressing rooms and customers have to wait for sometime to come unlock them. I've had 5 minute waits. Most of the time, I'll walk away and this store loses a sale. If you're going to keep dressings rooms locked, then place a sales person right there to always be ready to unlock - don't make your customers wait. This freaking drives me nuts and I usually buy clothes elsewhere for this reason. read more

David the manager helped me tremendously with my son's bike and an insurance claim. He was patient and very nice. The men's shoe department was a pleasant experience as well, very helpful. There isn't a ton of employees but I like that because I don't get hounded while just looking. !!! read more
