The golf : Leon Howard designed this scenic little track around a lake that comes into play on 5 of 9 holes. Two sets of tees allow for a full round, and they'll allow you to pay once and play all day.
Howard's layout is traditional, playing to a par 36 and offering a solid combination of holes. The final three holes are testy, featuring the top two most difficult rated holes. Nos. 7-9 are all par 4s that go between 350 and 375 yards.

The details : 409-826-4001. Urban Rd. at State Hwy. 290, Hempstead, TX 77445
