Take a swing at fairways reminiscent of the Scottish countryside or greens surrounded by forest shade. Houston has both and more.
Only minutes from The Woodlands, Conroe, and Tomball, the Lake Windcrest Golf Club in Magnolia boasts wellmaintained greens and affordable rates. The Houston National Golf Club is a technogolfer’s paradise in the woods. Nestled in northwest Houston, the course — which features 27 championship holes designed by Robert Von Hagge, Smelek & Baril — received the United States Golf Association’s highest course rating in the Houston area. Carts are equipped with a GPS that provides the number of yards to a green and course navigation.
Wildcat Golf Club near Reliant Stadium and The Texas Medical Center and Magnolia Creek Golf Course in League City, south of Houston, take their inspiration from the rolling hills of Scotland, England, and Ireland. Playing at Magnolia Creek is like vacationing in Scotland, the birthplace of golf, offering 27 holes of hills, native grasses, and deep bunkers.
For a game in the heart of the city, play 18 holes at Memorial Park Golf Club and the Hermann Park Golf Course in the Museum District — the city's top two courses. If you want to swing 36 or 54 holes in one visit, check out Bear Creek Golf World on the city’s west side. Three plush courses, five teaching pros, and a driving range make it easy to get in all the golf you want.
