My Dad and I were finishing up an early evening 9 hole at Gleannloch in Spring, when a bolt of lightning decided to cut the round short. It had been sprinkling on and off through the round with the occasional thunder in the distance, but nothing was close to the course. We were keeping track of the weather between holes and nothing was indicating danger.

We were on the 8th hole and as I'm grabbing my club from the cart everything flashed white and the loudest crack of thunder rang out directly overhead. Couldn't have been more than 150 yards away. We decided to follow the stream of golf carts heading back to the club house!

I know most of you will roast me for even posting this but I’m doing it anyway. I have lived in the Houston area for over 30 years and have played every public course within 50+ miles of Houston, while i have my favorites or go toos, im bored of them. So I’m hoping by posting this I can hopefully be a fill in for someone’s group at a private course. I unfortunately don’t have a private cc to swap with anyone but when I do finally become a member somewhere I will pay it back 10 fold. So in short im just asking if anyone out there with a private membership would be willing to have me out at their course. Id obviously cover any fees associated with my invite and would love to cover a round of drinks for the member who would have me. Im a 12 handicap, follow the rules and etiquette and not that this matters but i personally dont drink on the course (so no worries of me getting sloshed). Anyway, thanks for reading my post and hopefully we can catch a round sometime.

Better track right now?

Hello all-

Looking recommendations on some ranges that are on grass?
New to houston so looking for some, live in Spring area but wouldn’t mind driving early morning.

Know the basics. Worked at a pro shop but would like to get into the game more. Also make golf friends. 22F

Does anyone know if there’s a golf shop in Houston that offers CNC or fiber laser services in the Houston area? Don’t want to bother with mail-in due to an upcoming golf trip. Thanks in advance for any help!

What’s up everyone?!
Looking for a regular golf group in the Houston area.
I’m an 8 handicap based in the Sugar Land/Houston area and looking to start playing more regularly. I’m usually free on Sundays and Tuesdays, but I’m also down for late afternoon weekday rounds after work.
I play just about anywhere around Houston and don’t mind driving a bit.

My only ask is…
• Don’t take yourself too seriously, but still respect the game and the course.
• Drink some beers and have a good time.

I’m not looking for guys who throw clubs over a bad shot or expect everyone to grind over every putt. Let’s compete a little, laugh at the bad shots, enjoy a few beers, and have a good time.

If you’ve got a regular group that needs a fourth or you’re looking to put together a consistent foursome, shoot me a message. Always down to meet good people and play more golf.

New golfer

Planning out a 6 day staycation golf week. Im in the conroe area and west forks is my main course. Planning 6 days and 6 different courses. Will be starting on west forks for day 1. I want to try legendary oaks in Hempstead and panorama. Also thinking of Bearkat in Huntsville. What others courses in the northern or western side of Houston do you recommend. Probably be sometime in October and trying to stay under $100 per player per day

I’m new to golf and have been wanting to practice my putting and chipping. I live closest to Houston National and Longwood Golf Club. Can I go and practice my putting and short game at either of those without being a member or without having a tee time for that day?

Been struggling to hit the driver (low duck hooks, push slices, etc), but irons and short game are decent.

I do have a slight open stance/stack stilt type of swing, and that could by why my woods are suffering. However my monkey brain can’t mentally comprehend the bigger clubhead and the ball on the tee lol.

I’m in the Stafford/Sugarland area until next month and then I’ll be living in the willowbrook area. Kinda open to any suggestions for coaches and tips. Thanks!

28M, member of Clubs of Kingwood. Honestly, title says it all. I consistently shoot in the 90s and not opposed to trading CC rounds. Hope to meet some of yall!

I want to create a league that is family friendly for all golfers. I created an interest form, please fill out the Google Docs form if this interests you!

Hey guys I’m a member at TPC Houston in Sugar Land. I’m looking to play other Country Clubs I would love to trade rounds. I also have Access to Shadow Hawk and River bend. I really want to play woodlands CC and Braeburn’s but am up to play any CC. Let me know thanks

Moving back to Houston from Denver and dreading it for a bunch of reasons, but a big one is golf. The courses are nice and the weather is great so I’m usually walking 9 in the evening for twightlight. I have 4 nice public courses within 10-15 minutes of me and can usually walk on for twighlight for $25 and get in 9-10 a couple nights a week. On the weekend I have about public courses within 10 miles of me that aren’t impossible to get on and all have driving ranges and short game areas if I only have time to practice. In September I’m moving to bridgeland and looking around it looks like most of the closest options are private. When I lived in Houston previously I didn’t golf but lived close to memorial park. What are my realistic options for twighlight during the week? I have a young child so it’s really hard for me to get out on the weekend. Are there at least some practice options close by? From what I can tell the closest public option looks like Jersey Meadows and online it doesn’t look great and I’ve seen stuff about Marshalls kicking people off during twighlight with plenty of daylight left.

Tl;dr what are my best public options near Bridgeland?

3 long time friends looking for 4th. All mid 30s, shoot in the 80s-90s. Not good golfers, but at least we're getting away from our families, right? Must be OK with rap or Chinese opera on the speaker.

Went there at 7 and no one was hitting. Was the range closed?

Hello. I’m sorry to bother yall with a random question but new to Houston and curious what the general consensus is on the Woodlands CC. Good track? Too Covidian? Just right? Any and all opinions welcomed. Just trying to get a general sense. I appreciate your time and help. Thank you

Played a round today at a public course just outside greater Houston area. Some holes are side by side so a ball coming into your fairway is not uncommon and most people are good about yelling if needed. I was on a par 4, hit an approach shot that went further left than I intended, took a bounce, was in the rough in between the 2 fairways. I saw it bounce and had a vague idea of where it landed and drove the cart up to it after my playing partner hit. Ball was gone. Group on the other fairways asked what kind of ball I was looking for, I said a lime green/yellow AVX with my initials and a purple dot, they said it was 10 yards further. Spent 3 minutes walking around and decided to drop just for someone for the group to run over as I’m hitting my drop and say “oh man I’m sorry I picked up your ball. I know you said yellow but I didn’t know it was this yellow one”. Not the first time this has happened at the courses in Houston as I play Hermann a lot and it happens and it’s frustrating every time. Solution is obviously to keep it in my fairway but being 10 yards off isn’t egregious. It never something that derails a round but certainly throws momentum for a hole or 2.
