When it comes to golf, Houston is affordable and there's plenty of it. Of the more than 150 golf courses in the area, the majority are open to the public. And because the Houston area is so large, they run the gamut from tree-lined, heavily wooded courses on the north side to wide-open coastal plains layouts where wind is very much a factor. Green fees are generally well below the national average with hardly any courses costing more than $100 to play, even on weekends. Golf is very much a year-round sport here as well, with mild winters similar to north-central Florida, but fall is probably the best time of year to play there. The area is home to two premiere tournaments, both in the spring -- the Shell Houston Open on the PGA Tour, and the Insperity Invitational on the Champions Tour.
Introducing the Moody Gardens® Golf Course, formerly the Galveston Municipal Golf Course, featuring a $16 million comprehensive renovation by the renowned golf course architects of Jacobsen Hardy Golf Course Design. Revealed in June 2008, the Moody Gardens® Golf Course still features the best historical aspects of the original layout, while significantly improving certain holes and overall course flow. The renovation included new turf grass, green complexes, elevations, irrigation, drainage, cart paths, greens and a full clubhouse renovation. A First-class Public Golf Course The multi-million dollar investment is a contribution to the city on the part of Moody Gardens® and the culmination of the vision to provide a first-class public golf course for local residents and visitors to the Island. The City of Galveston retains ownership of the newly renovated facility, which is managed by Moody Gardens®. A Seaside Course with a Tropical Feel Jacobsen Hardy's attention to detail provides residents and visitors alike with a premiere public golf course. Among the many improvements the course features Paspalum turf, designed for seaside golf courses and providing an outstanding playing surface. To keep playing surfaces in top condition, a new water treatment plant and irrigation system were included in the renovation project. This improvement in water quality optimizes playing surfaces and also provides water for landscaped areas around the clubhouse and on the golf course. The course highlights its unique seaside tropical feel with 18 holes meandering through upland and lowland native areas, natual wetlands habitat of beautiful Sydnor Bayou and over 500 palm trees.
