Galveston

If you are looking for memorable Texas golf getaways, Galveston has two golf courses of major repute, the Galveston Island Municipal Golf Course and The Galveston Country Club.

• Cancun? It's in South Texas, right? – Texas Cruise Company can plan land or cruise golf trips or "Just Because" trips.



• Galveston Island Municipal Golf Course – Begin your golfing experience with a peaceful drive along scenic winding roads that lead toward picture-perfect pampered greens while you begin to unwind and prepare for a day of relaxation and endless pleasure. Ranked among the top five municipal golf courses in Texas, this well-groomed course was renovated by a local architect Carlton Gipson in 1991 that added numerous challenging bumps and rolls. The layout is emphatically "links-style" and reminiscent of quite a few of the great Royals across the waters.

  It's a stimulating par-72, 6,900-yarder with stiff crosswinds that make even the most avid golf aficionado ponder his every move. This 18-hole immaculate course includes a driving range that helps perfect your golf swing and a clubhouse that caters to absolute guest satisfaction.

  The course is completely surrounded by sparkling Sydnor Bayou, where guests can enjoy a day of golf nestled in tranquility. Number "18" is the signature hole with water shielding it in three directions. It's a par-4, challenging 430-yarder. If the goal is to relax and enjoy yourself while energizing the mind and spirit...this is the course for you. Lessons, rental clubs, a pro shop and snack bar are accessible. Tournaments always welcome.

Texas golf getaways feature the very best in courses in both the Houston and Galveston areas. Golfing is great in these areas of Texas.


• The Galveston Country Club – Situated on Galveston Island's West End, beside Lake Como, it is the oldest private country club in Texas. The club has a full schedule of tournaments all year round, and provides amenities such as a driving range, a putting green and a fully stocked pro shop. The 18-hole course features over fifty sand bunkers, numerous water holes, and hundreds of palms and oleanders. A resident PGA golf professional is available by appointment for giving lessons.

Houston

Houston and its surrounding area have many golf courses that provide quality course layouts for excellent games of golf. Some of the Texas golf getaway destinations in Houston are:

• Wildcat Golf Club Some first-time visitors find Wildcat's rolling hills surreal because this is Houston , where the only noteworthy elevations to be found are in skyscrapers and on towering freeway ramps. Wildcat may seem a mirage, but it's actually an oasis – a magical place that could be wrought only by a Texas-size imagination. It's Texas Can-Do on an unprecedented scale. It's amazing what can come of a dream and two million cubic yards of dirt, but that's the genesis of Wildcat. Only in Texas could a railroad-junction-turned-oilfield emerge as a verdant island that thrills the senses and soothes the soul. Wildcat Golf Club does boast two world-class golf courses, but naming this place may be the only thing its creators didn't do to perfection – because while there's great golf here, there's so much more.

  Wildcat rivals the country's finest private clubs. Its unique window on the Houston skyline makes it the perfect venue for any business or personal outing. And when it comes to mingling business and pleasure, this beautiful place has no peer. You'll think it's almost sinful. You also might come face to face with a well known sports figure playing at Wildcat. Wildcat Golf Club is the preferred course of the Houston Texans, Houston Rockets, Houston Astros, and Houston Dynamo. Come play with us anytime. If you don't tell the boss, we sure won't. It'll be our little secret.

• Magnolia Creek Golf Links There is no place like home. Come play at a "links style course."We at Magnolia Creek Golf Links share the same sentiments. For that reason, we invite you to make the home of golf your second home. Located just south of Houston, Magnolia Creek Golf Links provides 27 holes of rolling hills, deep, entrenched bunkers, and native grasses, giving golfers the feel of playing in Scotland, where golf was born. So, take a trip back to the days when golf was created. Your journey of transcending time can begin now at magnoliacreekgolf.com. Continue and learn more about the golf course, our rates, The Best Membership Value in Houston, Free Preferred Partner benefits, and much more. Come and join us today...you may make a little golfing history of your own at Magnolia Creek Golf Links!
• Timber Creek Golf Club provides a challenging experience for golfers of all ability levels. Creekside, a short 9 holes, requires game management but doesn't emphasize length. The Pines is known to be a little more open. Its 9 holes are medium length and it does not have as many demanding carries. Timber Trails is everything a golfer would want in a 9-hole course for his/her golf game. Long in length, demanding carries, and ally-like fairways.Timber Creek is the favorite course of Architect and Wind Energy Specialist Jim Noble (also my esteemed cousin).
• The Battleground-A Sanctuary for birdies and eagles, The Battleground is a complete golfing facility specializing in tournaments and corporate outings. Offering a demanding championship layout, The Battleground is staffed by PGA Professionals and event specialists who are available to assist you in coordinating every detail of your event from computerized pairings and scoring to personalized cart signs, scorecards, rule sheets, and tournament result scorecards. Located just 20 minutes from downtown Houston, The Battleground makes your event easy to plan and thoroughly enjoyable for all. Whether you are looking for a simple golf outing or an elaborate event, look into The Battleground at Deer Park.
