Memorial Park Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is it to get a tee time at Memorial Park, especially as an out-of-towner?

This is a hot ticket, especially since the renovation and its PGA Tour status. You'll need to be on top of the booking window, which opens 7 days in advance for non-Houston residents, and be ready to click fast. We recommend trying for early morning slots or mid-week if your schedule allows for the best chance.

When is the best time of year to play Memorial Park to avoid the Houston heat?

Houston summers are no joke, so we strongly recommend visiting between late October and early April to enjoy comfortable temperatures. You'll find the course in prime condition then, and you won't be battling oppressive humidity or the risk of afternoon thunderstorms.

What kind of challenge should I expect from Memorial Park, and is it walkable?

Don't let its public status fool you-this course is a legitimate test, especially from the back tees, with strategic bunkering and subtle greens designed by Tom Doak. While it's relatively flat and walkable, we often opt for a cart to conserve energy, especially if you're playing in warmer months.

What's the typical cost to play Memorial Park, and is it worth it for a public course?

As a non-resident, you're looking at a premium municipal rate, usually in the $150-$200 range with a cart, which is a steal for a PGA Tour venue. We absolutely think it's worth every penny for the chance to play a championship-caliber course that's meticulously maintained and offers a unique experience.

What's the vibe like at Memorial Park after a round, and are there good practice facilities?

The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, as you'd expect from a top-tier public course. You'll find excellent practice facilities, including a large driving range and chipping greens, perfect for warming up or working on your game post-round. Grab a drink at the clubhouse and soak in the atmosphere-it's a great place to recap your birdies (and bogeys).
