I have been in this Ladies League for more than 15 years. It used to be one of the greatest courses in Houston but has gone down hill since it has changed hands a few times.

This is a great course for someone who is learning the game. It has water & sand. The 18th hole is a par 5, over 500 yds and water. It's a challenge once you tee off to see how far you can get before you must hit over the water.
