Golf Club of Houston

I played several other PGA event courses, this course is the best condition golf course I had ever played. Perhaps it could be that I played there 6 weeks before the Shell Houston open. It was fun to play with grand stands in place. Feels like I was a pro playing the open. But the greens rolled so perfect and smooth like putting a pool table. I made so many putts. The rough was deadly. Super thick. Very hard to hit out of. Overall course design was average, not memorable. But conditions more than makes it for it. Was fun to watch Sergio chunking out of the 18^th fairway bunker, hey I did the same thing. Cool.

Formerly the Red Stone golf course (Site of Shell Houston Open), now taken over by new management and re-​badged as Golf Club of Houston.
Simply put, it’s a Houston Golf Bucket List item, that is expensive and not all that memorable. But you will be the envy of all your friends. There are a lot of things this club has going for it, price is just not one of them!

Being 2 weeks from the PGA event of Shell Houston, the course is cluttered with the tents and concessions. Making it fun to get free relief on the perfect velvet carpet just for the heck of it. While it is a nicely manicured track, a lot of items are just average, like the greens and the sand traps.
The really impressive part of this course is the lush velvet like grass that surrounds every green and fairways. Which makes the high soft shots a breeze to execute.
This is the first time I’ve ever played the Tournament Course due to the out outrageous price. Even with a steep discount from $ 200 to $ 125, It’s not something I would likely repeat.
