Clear Lake Golf Course

The golf : Little-known Milt Coggins was hired in the early 1960s to design 9 holes for one of the nation's first master-planned communities. Then Jay Riviere came along for his first solo project to add the second nine in 1967. Back then there were no trees-the ones that were planted on the open prairie have finally matured, providing some character to this flat course. Out-of-bounds is prominent because of the houses, and water comes into play on a few holes. However, the most difficult aspect of a round at Clear Lake is in dealing with the small, mound-shaped greens.

The details : 281-488-0252. 1202 Reseda Dr., Houston, TX 77062
