I'll be there for work until about December and was wondering if anyone on here is from the area or has played there much.  Any places with nice practice areas?  Nice courses with reasonable rates?  I'll be staying in Kemah, close to League City and Clear Lake.  Thanks for replies!

Memorial Park GC is just west of downtown.  It's my hands-down favorite place to play when I go to Houston.  It's a city course, but always in good condition and has pretty good greens.  It's about $50, and tough to get a tee time, but if you walk on as a single it shouldn't be too tough to get on.

My favorite course in that general area is Southwyck in Pearland, not too far from Clear Lake.  A lot of it has a links-like feel.

When I play with my grandsons who live in League City, we go to Beacon Lakes in Dickinson; an average course, but not bad; Beacon Lakes is also unique for being a lighted 18 hole course so you can play after dark.

+1 on Southwyck. That's a really nice course. And there are several tees that stretch to over 7,000 yards if I recall. Also, Columbia Lakes in West Columbia is great. They have an amazing practice facility there as well. It's about 40 miles south of the Astrodome off 288 and 35.

      PING I540 Versus Titleist T250

      By boogielicious · Posted

      that is an excellent approach. I did that with my last set. I made a few 7 irons from different heads and shafts. Getting a feel for how they play on the course is the right idea. Let us know how it goes.

      I’m glad the USGA booted some of the hecklers. It’s getting out of hand. I wish the networks wouldn’t mic the crowd to give those idiots a platform.

      PING I540 Versus Titleist T250

      By 3puttjay · Posted

      New member here, and I have decided to upgrade my clubs. I have been playing for a long time but these last 10 years I have had to put four kids through college. So I've played a few rounds a year and some years have not played at all. I am currently playing Titleist 716 AP2's with Rifle 6.5 steel shafts and Winn grips. I used to hit my 7 iron around 165 yds until just 5 years ago. I turned 62 this year and noticed I can barely get my 7 iron to 145 yds. I went for a fitting to try out some new player distance irons. I don't think I need game improvement irons because I'm pretty straight and rarely try to work a ball (if I'm working a ball, then I most definetely did something wrong to get there). I tried a bunch of irons (Callaway, Mizuno, PXG, Taylormade, Srixon, Ping, and Titleist) and I kept coming back to the Ping and Titleist. They just felt right and really looked good when lining up a shot. The Ping, by far, went the longest of all the irons. The Titleist was a close second in distance. Both felt buttery smooth through impact. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with these irons. I was getting 160 yds with a nice smooth swing (81 mph swing speed). I know I'm asking a lot of my clubs but my last fitting was 27 years ago and I ended up with some Cleveland TA3's or TA2's forged irons with Dynamic Gold S300 (swing speed 87 mph). I really love the feel of my AP2's and the place I'm going to purchase from is going to make a 7 iron in both Ping and Titleist for me to test on real grass. I'm pretty certain it's going to be either one. They're both identical in price for a set of 5-PW. I'm going to forego a 4 iron and get another 4 hybrid to go along with my 3 hybrid. Any and all replies are welcome.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.
