Conroe Country Club

The Conroe CC is an old, traditional 9-hole course with tree-lined fairways and tiny greens. Majestic oaks and the original two-story frame clubhouse add character to the track, which originally opened as the San Jacinto Country Club back in 1935 to provide recreation for residents who were making good money in the oil business.

You'll notice the two challenging par 3s at CCC. NO. 3 plays 179 yards over water to an elevated green, and No. 8 goes 200 yards over water to a small green.

Getting there : From Galveston, take I-45 north for 100 miles to Hwy. 105. Turn west and find Loop 336, then turn south and drive a short distance to the course.
