Galveston Municipal Golf Course

The golf : Galveston residents finally got their municipal championship layout after years of bureaucratic wrangling. The course finally opened in 1974 after the city supposedly spent $1.8 million to build a facility that should have cost more in the realm of $400,000.
It was worth it, though, to the avid golfer, since this Carlton Gipson-redesigned track is one of the most difficult tracks in Texas, universally considered one of the top five municipals in the state. The Gulf winds pound the course and water comes into play on every hole. Even from the regular tees the route rolls 6,739 yards, so short knockers are truly at a disadvantage.

The details : 409-744-2366. 1700 Sydnor Ln., Galveston, TX 77554

  • 18 holes. Par 72. Back - 6,969 (73.0/131). Middle - 6,739 (72.5/127). Forward - 5,407 (74.5/135). Price - $$.

Getting there : From I-45 south, exit 61st St. and turn right. Find Stewart and turn right, then turn right again on 99th Street. Drive to Sydnor Ln. and turn right-you'll see the entrance on the right side of the road.
