  • If you've never been to Houston, you probably think it's just about oil and gas, no zoning laws, and urban sprawl. And while we certainly have those elements here in Houston, there's a lot more to the nation's fourth-largest city.

As a Houston resident here for nearly 35 years, I can attest that Houston is one of the most diverse places in the country, a melting pot with all sorts of culture. The culinary scene is exceptional and includes Tex-Mex and, in my opinion, some of the best barbecue in the country. And while the weather is a bit muggy and hot in the summer, winters are very mild, and spring and fall can be spectacular. That means we enjoy a 12-month golf scene in Houston.

Fortunately, whether you live here or are visiting (many find their way to Houston because of its incredible medical facilities or sporting events), there are lots of public golf options. Many of them are quite affordable and offer more variety than you might think. With courses closing, others being renovated, and a few new ones, the Houston golf landscape has changed quite a bit in the last decade or so. 

With that said, here's my list of the top 10 public golf courses in the Houston area.


	Memorial Park Golf Course
	Golf Club of Houston, Tournament Course
	BlackHorse Golf Club, South Course
	Gus Wortham Golf Course
	The Wilderness Golf Club
	High Meadow Ranch Golf Club
	Highland Pines Golf Club
	BlackHorse Golf Club, North Course
	Cypresswood Golf Club, Tradition Course
	Wildcat Golf Club, Lakes Course
