Golfer’s Guide Houston Golf Courses Stories

Economically speaking, we’re not out of the woods yet, but signs of improvement are surfacing – albeit at a pace equivalent to paint drying. In 2010 personal budgets and discretionary expenditures will again be monitored meticulously. For you, the avid golfer, where to tee it up has become a more difficult question to answer.

Which course will deliver on its promise of great golf for a fair price? Will service with a smile advertised on paper translate into an actual exchange of pleasantries as you enter the pro shop? A golfer must rely on his talent and trust that a well-struck shot will yield a favorable result. When picking a venue for your next round of golf, and there are more than 80 public and daily-fee courses in the Greater Houston area to choose from, trust the proven track record of Mont Belvieu’s Eagle Pointe Golf Club.

Teeming with tranquility and a recurring overture of Texas hospitality, The Falls Golf Resort and Club fully encapsulates what a day away from it all should feel like.

The championship-quality 18-hole golf course has been lauded as a “Must Play” by a laundry list of publications, and extras such as charming accommodations, tennis courts, two swimming pools, a one-acre fishing pond, fitness facility and the Cascades Restaurant catapult The Falls into distinguished company.

New Ulm’s first-class resort complex located at the “Gateway to the Hill Country” is a rare find in today’s golf world, and promises to be the “Best Drive of Your Life.”

If the hackneyed term “Hidden Gem” was ever to be used accurately to describe a single outstanding golf course that separated itself from the lot of out of the way layouts, surely it would be wisely deployed in honor of Montgomery’s Blaketree National Golf Club.

Located in the sedate and remarkably stunning Southeast Texas countryside, roughly 20 minutes from Lake Conroe and a little more than an hour from downtown Houston, Blaketree is the result of attorney turned oil wildcatter Thomas W. Blake’s ambition to build a private playground for himself and his friends to enjoy.
