Champions Golf Club

 

You excited about the US Women's Open 2020?

 

Yes, I think it will be great to host the tourney. A bit bummed Cypress will be closed for six months starting next month but the greens are overdo for an upgrade anyways. Be interesting to see if it leads to more tourneys out there as I think it is a great setup.

Guy I work with is a member at Champions and I got to play the Cypress course a couple of weeks ago, great fun, but the greens kicked my butt hard.

 

I usually play either Memorial or Herman Park.

Roy Kizer and Jimmy Clay (36-hole complex) in Austin is my home "club," but I also play a lot of rounds at Mo Willie.

 

I'm currently playing the South Mid-Am at the Club at Falcon Point (in Katy), and man do I hate this golf course. Leave your driver at home and pucker your butt cheeks on every tee shot—left is dead, right is dead, and even if you manage to avoid those two, you may still be in trouble.

I was wondering why the heck I couldn't get any morning tee times! Was going to go try to play a morning round somewhere else but may go watch guys go for the par 5's and fail miserably. If you need any advice about the course let me know.

I absolutely hate #5, stupid design. Just out of curiosity, have you ever seen anybody try to play down the #6 fairway and go for the green from there instead? Looking down from Google Earth view, it would seem like a better way to play the hole (if you want to go for the green). Hate #9 and #16 as well. Bad par 5 on that course.

Yes. A lot of groups typically do that on #5 in some of the scramble tournaments. # 9 is worse than #5 in my opinion. You have to have a perfect drive off the tee to even have a shot at the green and just like #5, you have a downhill lie a lot of times. I've learned to enjoy #16. Actually went over the green yesterday in 2. I get all giddy inside when I play somewhere else and there's no trouble on the par 5's.

Muny has sub-par conditioning, boring greens (no internal contours, just big slopes), tons of rocks near and in the playing corridors, and lots of "safety trees" that choke lines of play.

 

It's not a particularly fun course to play, but it's still a gorgeous spot with the Westlake hills visible from most holes.

 

From a practice perspective, it makes no sense to play there because of how few times I can hit driver (and the range is irons-only).

Scottish golfer here so my home course here is Royal Aberdeen but spend 12 weeks a year in Houston right now so Cypresswood tradition is my favourite and so glad it is open again.
