re: Golf Courses in Houston Preferably Near Woodlands

I still haven't played tour 18 because I hear it's almost always a 5-6 hour round. I also hear it's a very cool experience if you are familiar with the holes.

Cypresswood is awesome, and I enjoy both courses, but as a visitor who won't have multiple rounds, go with the Tradition course.

I think one of the courses at the Woodlands country club is public.

Forgot about Augusta Pines. I liked this course a lot. It was in perfect shape when I played in march, which was unseasonably cold this and most other courses were still recovering from the dormant winter.
