This long course features several mature pine trees lining its fairways. However, the fairways are wide, and the large greens have medium speed. The course was built on rolling terrain and water hazards come into play on several holes. The signature hole is #15, a 180-yard, scenic par 3, overlooking a stone-lined pond. This is one of eight municipal courses within the City of Houston, and $4 to $5 million dollars went into upgrading this course in 1995. It is easily regarded as one of the top municipal courses in the country. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the 9th "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996. This course was home of the Houston Open from 1951-63. The course is closed on Tuesdays for maintenance. Senior discounts are available Monday and Thursday.

| Classic course that could use a little work on the fairways, probably because it's overplayed. Challenging r to l and l to r front nine and long and straight back nine. Fun track. |

| you'll use every club in your bag on this course...usually in great shape, but sometimes the greens could be better, but this place gets a lot of play annually...this is where the pros played when Hogan ruled the game...it's still a great test of golf, even for today's long hitters...there's not an ugly hole on Memorial's layout and there's plenty of water and tall trees to penalize the errant shot...from the tips, it's more than 7000 and from the white tees it's still more than 6500 yards long...fair pricing and a beautiful golf course easily accessibile inside of Houston's inner loop...have a great time and repair your divots and ball marks.... |
