50k initiation budget. 1-2k per month on dues. What’s the best course in the Houston metro area for that budget?

Hey guys - wanted to get your opinions on your favorite indoor simulator facility. Hourly rates can be expensive, do any of you have a membership at any of the golf simulator businesses (X-Golf, etc)? Do you think it's worth it? Pros and cons?

Relatively new to golf, I live in NE Houston but have played several places around the city. I have played at Oakhurst (closest to me) Gus Wortham, Battleground, Atascocita, Red Wolf, and River Terrace. I’m looking for some recommendations on some beginner friendly places preferably not lined with houses where my slice could potentially kill someone’s dog or bust out a window.

River Terrace is wide open and very beginner friendly was just hoping to maybe find something like that closer up to the Kingwood/Spring area.

TIA

Hey everyone! As a college student working hard to get people involved in the PES Golf Tournament—Houston’s largest nonprofit golf event—I’d really appreciate any help or involvement you can offer. Whether you’d like to participate, sponsor, or even just refer someone, it would mean a lot.

The tournament’s on October 28th at Kingwood Country Club, and it’s a great chance to network and have fun while supporting a good cause.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested or know someone who might be—thanks so much!

I recently moved to Houston (live near downtown) and am trying to find some people to play golf with. I used to be decent in high school, but now around an 18/20 handicap. Just trying to find a group of guys who enjoy playing once a week on Sat/Sun.

Feel free to comment if interested. If there's any apps / groups already made, would be really helpful if you pointed me in the right direction! Cheers!

Hey everyone,

I’m 37 and looking for some people to play golf with. I usually get out on the course during the week, as that’s the only time my wife and kids let me have some free time. I’m based in the Bellaire/West U area but am more than willing to drive to meet up.

I should mention I have a higher handicap, so I’m not overly serious about the game—just looking to enjoy some rounds, get some exercise, and hopefully improve my swing a bit. If you’re in a similar spot and want to join in, send me a message or comment below. Would love to get a regular group going!

Got some new ferrules and need a re grip on all my irons. Any recommendations?

Hey y'all, I'm newer to golf so I usually like to hit the range a few times a week just to practice and make sure I don't regress. Looking at the weather forecast for this week though it's rain, rain and a little more rain. Does anyone know of any covered/indoor/bad weather ranges in the Houston area that would stay open even when it's raining?

Looking to get a fitting in the next couple of weeks in the Houston area and looking for any recommendations. About a 10 handicap and 6’5 swinging stock off the shelf stuff shaft Taylormade m6 irons… ready for an upgrade.

Looking for anyone who has some recommendations. I’ve heard Impact Precision and Club Champion but also hear they jack the prices up way too much.

Thinking a blend set of mizuno 225 or a combo of zx7 and zx5. But really open to the fitting.

Any suggestions appreciated!

If this isn’t allowed in here then please point me in the right direction!

I am a 26 year old man looking for some golf buddies/friends in my area! I play weekly and am currently a 21.8 handicap. I play with randoms every week, but never seem to meet anyone around my age to play with consistently. If anyone knows of an app or just how to get in contact with golfers in my area please let me know! Want to meet people my age and be social!

Houston Area! Thanks!

If my ID is from a different state but i rent within houston, can i get the resident golf rates?

Hello! We started a golf league called Stupid Idiot Golf Tour this year. Started with 20 players but had two drop out. Looking to fill those spots. Check out the website for info and Apply for Tour Card. We are already 3 events in so fee will be lower than what is posted. Fee goes towards the final round purse. Next year I am hoping to add 10 more players at least.

We also have our Master's event at Golf Club of Houston 4/13 2pm start. We have already reserved the event but might not hit our guarantee for players, so looking for two others who would like to play to fill those spots, it is $107 which includes green fees, range balls, sleeve of balls.

If interest in joining the tour either this year or next year please send in application via link below. If interest in helping me fill our tee time in a couple weeks let me know! Id appreciate it!

Does anyone know if there’s a good place close to downtown that has practice hitting nets? Either a golf club or a school or a park? I’m moving from out of state to an apartment right next to Hermann Park. I’ve got the mlm2 pro launch monitor and usually go to a local high school that has golf nets open for use when the golf team isn’t using them. I like being able to use the balls I play with to practice and was wondering if there’s any place like this in Houston even if it’s not public or free. I’m just trying to figure out how to keep practicing without switching to using the crappy driving range balls.

I am a student in the Program for Excellence in Selling at the University of Houston and we are back once again to have the honor of hosting the PES Open Golf Tournament. The PES Open is the largest non-profit golf tournament in Houston, with over 500 players and multiple Fortune 500 companies from all backgrounds who sponsor and play in the event. This event aims to help businesses reach their goals through marketing/networking, treat their customers, or have a good time! This semester our tournament will be back to an in-person format with precautions to keep our players safe. It will be taking place on March 25th at the Kingwood Country Club. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please contact me at smendiola@programforexcellenceinselling.com for more information and how you can sign up. Thank you so much for your consideration and God bless!

EDIT: Good draining, not irrigation lol

After all the rain this week, I’m still itching to play a round somewhere. Does anybody have any suggestions of courses that drain unusually well? This might be far fetched but I figured it was worth a shot. Thanks!

I’m looking to golf with a buddy of mine that’s brand new to golf and is not good at all. I’m trying to find a course we can both play at that we won’t be rushed very much and won’t be that busy. Any recommendations? I do not mind driving 30-1 hour outside the center of Houston since that’s where these courses would be

Just booked a spot for Sunday morning at Memorial at 8:50am. As of a few minutes ago, there was still room for two more. Letting my fellow golfers know since those morning spots are hard to come by.

Edit: Looks like it’s gone now

My brother and I are trying to start going to the range a lot more and want to hit 1000+ balls each week. At Hermann Park it's $11 for 100 balls which comes out to $110 per week at 1,000 balls and almost $500 per month.

Top Golf has membership options but it's 1) far out of the way for us (we're in central/south Houston) and 2) the options don't make a ton of sense for us. the cheapest membership is $100/month or $720/year but its only applicable Mon-Fri from open-5pm which doesn't work because we have jobs.

Wanted to see if anyone knew of any spots in Houston where we could get a driving range membership or subscription that would let us hit unlimited balls at any point of the day and any day of the week. Obviously want to keep the price reasonable, but want to be able to go on the weekends when I don't have time to play an actual round, so don't want to discriminate by pricing.

Come through Reddit, I always believe in you.

Anyone played recently out at tour 18? How are the course conditions? I feel like it’s always hit or miss out there

Some of my friends are trying it monday 9-12 if anyone wants to check it out too. Its found on spark golf web site(i am not affiliated with them or jersey meadows)

Hi! Just moved to Houston from abroad and looking for friends to golf with. I live close to Memorial Park but can drive wherever. Hope to meet some new friends!

Anyone have recommendations for lessons based in the Katy area? I know there are good coaches in the city but my time is limited so the closer to Katy the better. Thanks!

Hey Guys, wanted to start a thread regarding top driving ranges and practice areas in Houston open to the public. I can appreciate well maintained driving range turf.

Also looking for night options as sometimes it’s difficult to get out during the day with work.

Thinking about playing Sunday down on SW side. Any other newbie wanna play. Still trying to break 100 and its been a few months since I last played. Anyone (35-45)near Sugarland/ Richmond wanna play? Usually play River Pointe since it's a forgiving course.

Looking to get back into golf and looking for a good, reasonably priced pro to help with my swing. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
