COURSE INFORMATION

Designed by Chet Williams, The Club at Houston Oaks is ranked no. 2 in Texas. "One thing that will make this course unique in the Houston area is the great variety of lies golfers will face. The most defining element of the course, however, is an abundance of large Oak Trees that the course winds among," said Chet Williams. Houston Oaks is a par 71 and is 7,007 yards.
