The flood plane of Addicks Reservoir hosts the 54-hole Bear Creek Golf World, a facility that is symbolic of Houston's golf boom 25 years ago. Long-time Houston pro Dick Forester headed the project in an attempt to capitalize on Houston's growing need for public golf facilities.
The original Presidents Course features par 4s around 350 yards and several short par 5s in the 470-yard range. Of the three courses, this is the only one without water, and is much more hacker-friendly than the Masters.
Getting there : From I-10 west, take Hwy 6 north for 4 miles to Golf Course Rd., then turn right and drive a short ways to the course.
