Longwood Golf Course

The golf : Longwood is carved out of some unusually thick terrain for this area of the state-the dense underbrush runs through old oak and pine trees, making the course difficult to even walk through. Luckily, the fairways on this 27-hole route are wide enough to allow for less than perfect golf shots; otherwise, anything out of the fairway requires a hack back out just to get in play.
The Pine Oak Course is known for its signature No. 6 hole. It's only a short, 300-yard par 4 but unique because of the trees and terrain.
Best chances for birdie are holes 3 and 14. Toughest holes are Nos. 4 and 12.

The details : 281-373-4100. 13300 Longwood Trace Dr., Cypress, TX 77429
