You'll immediately feel the PGA Tour pedigree on the Tournament Course; it's a serious test of golf. Expect pristine conditions and a layout designed to challenge every club in your bag, especially around the greens. We recommend playing it in late fall or early spring for the best weather and course conditions, allowing you to truly appreciate its championship design.

Which course should I play - the Tournament Course or the Member Course - at Golf Club of Houston?

If you're chasing a championship challenge and want to walk in the footsteps of pros, the Tournament Course is your pick, offering a demanding, strategic round. However, don't overlook the Member Course; it's a fantastic, more forgiving track that's still beautifully maintained and offers a very enjoyable round without the same pressure. For a relaxed but quality round, the Member Course is a great choice.

We strongly recommend targeting late fall (October-November) or early spring (March-April) for your visit. During these months, you'll find much more comfortable temperatures and lower humidity, making for a far more enjoyable walk or ride. Avoid the peak summer months unless you're prepared for very hot and sticky conditions, which can really detract from the experience.
