Houston Country Club

The Vibe

So, you're heading to Houston Country Club for a round. It’s definitely a five-star experience, a cut above most everything else in the city, and the course itself is meticulously maintained. You'll notice the pristine fairways and greens right away, and the mature trees give it a classic, established feel, a nice contrast to some of the newer, more open courses around here. The membership leans towards established Houston families, so the vibe is always refined but not stuffy, more of a quiet confidence. Weekday mornings are usually the best for a quicker pace of play, though even on busier weekend afternoons, the tee times are spaced well. After your game, definitely grab a drink on the patio overlooking the 18th; it's a prime spot to unwind, and their club sandwich is surprisingly excellent.
