Even its name conjures up a different time and place. Oaks, hundreds of them, over a century old, unlike anywhere else in Harris County, bring a southern plantation feel to an area just northwest of Houston off US 290 that features not only wonderful golf, but tennis, fishing and family fun on 330 acres near Hockley.
Rooted in the Past, Growing with the Future
It’s not all about going back in time. Remember those oak trees? Houston Oaks’ commitment to preserving that Old South feeling has led to a program of planting 100 new oak trees every year for the next five years. Houston Oaks has brought in a full-time arborist, built a new family pool and added a ninehole executive and family golf course, and will keep development to just 20 residential lots of an acre-plus, wrapped around that executive course with either golf or lake views.
The future of Houston
Oaks Golf & Country Club is all about growing with families that choose the more relaxed lifestyle of this unique slice of heaven on earth, and groups looking for that peaceful getaway for their outing, family or company picnic, wedding or other special event.
