Golfer’s Guide Houston Golf Courses Stories

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.

General Manager of The Battleground at Deer Park, Louis Gantz, is fully aware of the challenges his golf course faces in an overbuilt market and a tepid consumer climate.

Houston has an amazing assortment of championship golf courses, but perhaps more than can be fully supported with the economy as it is. Gantz knows that golfers have plenty of courses to choose from and will more than likely be playing less this year, so he is adamant about offering those who visit his course the best possible value on their dollar.
