Houston Golf Clubs

No seriously, just off 290 is Houston National Golf Course. It's probably one of the more scenic courses around and pretty challenging.

 

Just shows that different folks like different things in a golf course. I can't stand HNGC.

i actually like how it's such a difficult course....however, after they changed ownership, that place went bigtime downhill.... :cheesy:

My 18 year old cousin spent the entire summer working with maintenance crew. He was cutting tee boxes his first day with no experience. It took him a month to work up to greens. :cheesy:

My office will be in the NorthWest part of the city.

 

It is just off of US 290 maybe a mile past Beltway 8 on the way out of the city. I hope that makes sense...I'm not at all used to the roads. I will likely either be living somewhere in that direction or uptown near the galleria.

hi - jumping into the houston scene here.

i live in Mo. City - straigth 25 miles due south of houston.

i live & play in sienna - quite a drive from the NW side.

nicely set-up course

we have our greens problem down here -

when its "on" it is very nice but when not - not so good.

 

As mentioned - MUST think about your commute!!

just like Chicago area (visited there last month)

got stuck in traffic for over 1 hr coming from the airport headed straight to a muni nearby

if you decide to live in the Galleria area = OK since you are going against the flow.

 

agree with above notes about blackhorse GC - nice course. lots of trees.

 

Houston national is a bit crazy place - wide open links style course.

if you catch it on a windy day - forget about it.

 

there are others courses nearby as well. in the Spring-Cypress area.

 

Memorial public course is quite busy & play slow

take a number!!! and bring a steak.

 

someone mentioned SweetWater CC - it was taken over by the Palmer group.

- still with open membership?? i think. i had an invite for 5K or something to join.

- its a decent course

 

with the like of Tour 18 (houston) - 10 minutes from IAH airport

Cypresswood (near airport) , Bear creek (west side) & Southwyck (southeast).

these latter courses can be played for a song & get on their e-mail list.

 

many of the publice & semi-public courses have website & e-mail special programs.

just an idea for you so that you get to know the area & courses.

 

with our topography, we don't have much of any elevation to speak of...

most of the southern courses are at or below sea level (like mine)

i think it is all about how well the course get drained after a heavy downpour & repeats.

 

 

best to you.

 

ps: play early!!

I joined Blackhorse a couple months ago. $175 down and $310/month gets you unlimited play with cart and range balls. Can't beat it, IMO.

That's unfortunate that community showed lots of promise (HNGC). Cypresswood is a great course. During the summer of my freshman year in college (1997), I worked as a laborer helping put in drainage basins, lay sod, spread pine straw, and got to assist the green contourist in shooting elevations. I have yet to play it, for some reason it's always closed. I completely forgot about Cypresswood. Great course.

I won't be in town yet, but as soon as I'm there I will always be up for a game. I might even contact some of you if I come into town in the next couple of weeks to look around and see if you want to join me for a round or two.

That's pretty good for 2 full courses. Fish Creek is $175 down & $275 a month I think for 27 holes. They do a 12-month discount though which gets it down to $215 or so if you pay up front.

Whaddya know, I'll be working that day. :cheesy:

[achu28]

darn guys.....i went to redstone today and got drenched after a few holes. so anyways, my raincheck there expires at the end of this month (and i'm leaving next thursday) so i have to go back to redstone to use it up again this coming tuesday...so i'm out of blackhorse this time. sorry guys, will join up with you next time!

 

 

btw, when's our next outing?

[Hoover98]

Is it just me, or is Tony's WITB getting longer? If he keeps his current pace up, he should find a way to have real-time updates.

Yeah, the search would be over if Todd would just give me his putter.... :cheesy:

 

 

I just put my clubs in the signature to keep track, b/c I don't have closets full of clubs like some of you guys.....our closets are filled with my wife's shoes and purses.... :fool:
