Galveston Country ClubThe golf : The original Galveston CC dates back to 1898
as a 9-hole track with a membership of only 30; however, the hurricane
of 1900 wiped out the facility. The club moved back and forth between
the island and the mainland in the early 1900s-it was once known as the
Oleander Country Club around 1912 before moving back onto the beach in
1918. That location on 61st Street remained intact until 1946, when John
Bredemus was asked to design the new, short, water-infested, wind-burdened
layout that exists today. The details : 409-740-9830. 14228 Stewart Rd., Galveston, TX 77554
