I’m playing “The Quarry” in San Antonio next Monday, last minute trip staying near the course.

Make sure you have a BUNCH of water in the cart when you head to #10. It’s like a sauna on the back 9, but I love it anyway!!!! I wish I still covered San Antonio for work just to meet-up with a few guys I met there after work. Great guys to have a beer with afterwards too.

They have a cool emblem, and always have FJ shirts on-sale….

I traveled the whole State for work, and I have to say, Houston was very disappointing for quality public golf courses. A couple way out North, but other than Wildcat, which I didn’t care for, there aren’t many South.

BlackHorse Course is a nice one in the Houston area.. North and South

The Quarry has one of the best back nines, both in regards to scenery and difficulty, in the state. Good bass in the ponds on the front nine. Absolutely love that course.

Black Horse has quickly joined the ranks of overcrowded Houston golf courses. Paying $90+ for a tee time, and then having to wait for tee boxes and approach shots is pretty frustrating. Not to mention hole 13 on the South Course eats my lunch every time...

 

I've been fortunate enough to play Houston Oaks (in Big 12 championship condition). It will probably be my favorite course/experience in Texas till I die.

Tiger is the GOAT, change my mind.

I'm jealous you got to play Houston Oaks. That's on the S. Tex bucket list next to Whispering Pines.

There is a course with a cliff on one of the bases in San Antonio. It was my first taste of Texas golf for a flatland fL boy. There is a cliff at the turn before a wild uphiller, I mean stories worth of terrain. My Pops was retired Airman. That was b4 TPC in Bastrop with opposing 9s, another in Bastrop w/ a few river holes, and all the glorious terrain found all over Texas. It's been 2 decades, my apologies for absence of names  and to myself for not living in Texas. Say Hi to Salt Lick Grill at Grissmill and the Pappas Bros.!!!

I haven't seen anyone mention this course yet, but I really like Vaaler Creek in Blanco. It is a very fun layout, and it has been in excellent shape all three times I have played it.

Being in DFW, we are blessed to have several great courses to play. I’ve played 75 of the top 100 public courses before joining a private club. These are some of my favs in north Texas!

Tierra Verde, Indian Creek-Creek course, Texas Star, Fossil Creek, Rockwood, Hawks Creek, Waterchase, Sugar Tree, Tempest, Tenison-Highlands course

I also play in a tourney every year at Horseshoe Bay and love Apple and Ram Rock courses.

I've been playing some golf in Houston area for a few years, visiting over memorial day:

Golf Club of Houston, Tournament course, reminds me a bit of the inland Spyglass holes, always in great condition

Meadowbrook farms in Katy, decent Greg Norman track

Cypress Lakes, played it  a few times, fun course very good conditions as well

Memorial Park, have not played it after the renovation but the old layout was ok

The TPC course at the Woodlands, it was OK, decent track, enjoyed 

I've just played two courses in Dallas over July 4th, hope to maybe play a few more:

TPC at Las Colinas

Cottonwood Private course

Both were in excellent condition and a decent, fun challenge, I enjoyed the practice facility at the TPC

I lived it Texas for 16 years and I played all over the state.  My favorite area is east Texas--Several great courses....Holly Tree in Tyler and The Challenge at Oak Forest Country club.  is also great.  You need to include many of the never mentioned little town courses in out of the way areas.  Some great courses that are inexpensive to play yet great players show up everyday and play them.  Some are 9 hole courses and others are 18 holes but stop while driving through all parts of the state at just play some of them.

I need to find my copy, but back in 2003, Jason Stone released the Texas Golf Bible and it had an overview of every course in Texas. It was amazing to see all of the nine hole courses in remote areas. I really wish a new version would come out but I understand how much time and effort it would take to create such a masterpiece. It was one of the thickest books I owned.

I played Whispering Pines over the weekend and it is all that it's talked up to be...and more. Just pristine conditions. They resurfaced tees, fairways and greens during covid shutdown in the summer of 2020 so the greens didn't have the grain in them as you would expect. Zoysia tees, fairways and rough with bermuda (champions?) greens. Just the attention to detail on the course maintenance is amazing. If you ever get a chance to go, please do so.

Course. Most rinky-dink set-up I’ve played since Palmer Course at La Cantera. Not a single flat lie in a fairway, tons of blind tee shots, fairways that sloped ridiculously and were only 25 yards wide, 40 yard walks uphill to tee boxes, etc, etc. Idiotic design.

First par 5 shows on the cart GPS that there are two breaks in the fairway. I hit 3 hybrid. Next shot from the fairway is blind. There was no first break in the fairway…. Hit PW to be short of the next break, which wasn’t there and couldn’t see the green or anything. Last shot is from 70 yards, on a steep decline to an elevated green. 3 hybrid, wedge, wedge par 5…… Complete joke of a course.

I’d have to play Tempest 5 times to know what to do, and then I’d run out of balls for the year, so not worth it! 😂😂😂

The fact that there isn’t a single flat lie in a fairway is what’s most ridiculous.

Cmon man.. you sound like you are a great player..  can't believe you would let uneven lies get you. The views on some of the holes are great. Some are visually intimidating.

I may loose 1 ball a round there mostly because I hit into the forest or the creek trying to go for it.
 

Last time I played there maybe 2 months ago now, had my best round there. didn't even loose a ball, (i was trying to.. )🤣

I would suggest WolfDancer next, there are alot of flat lies there, but its a challenging course.

Cmon man.. you sound like you are a great player..  can't believe you would let uneven lies get you. The views on some of the holes are great. Some are visually intimidating.

I may loose 1 ball a round there mostly because I hit into the forest or the creek trying to go for it.
 

Last time I played there maybe 2 months ago now, had my best round there. didn't even loose a ball, (i was trying to.. )🤣

I would suggest WolfDancer next, there are alot of flat lies there, but its a challenging course.

@MrBanditI only cover E TX for work, so Wolfdancer is WAY too far away, around a 7 hour drive for me, so I’ll just keep heading down to Pine Dunes once-a-year. It’s a 90 min drive from Longview, but I love that course. Challenging, but fair.

I’d have to play Tempest 5 times to know what to do, and then I’d run out of balls for the year, so not worth it! 😂😂😂

The fact that there isn’t a single flat lie in a fairway is what’s most ridiculous. 

There is a course like this in NH and my co-worker loves it. I mapped it and I see why now. Almost none of the holes have 65 yards wide to take driver without risking the trees, but is long enough that if you are not taking driver get the long irons out. On top of this yes you can be in the fairway with the ball a foot or more above or below your feet. Plenty of times the rough is the flatest place on the course. Of course now that its in my head I fully expect if I ever play it again it won't go well.
