Located near downtown Houston, Westwood was built by John Bredemus in 1929 and is one of Houston's most historic courses. The original 9-hole Bredemus track survived until the 1950s, when bayou was rerouted through the course as part of a flood control project. Club members hired Joe Finger, whose father designed the original clubhouse, to oversee the construction of the new course.
Finger's layout is burdened by the wind, and features small greens and water in play on 15 holes. Flowers line the lush course, creating a garden-like setting that has hosted the likes of the PGA Tour's Houston Open in 1972.
The feature hole is No. 13, a 437-yard challenge that features an extremely narrow fairway.
Other notes: In 1990 the club spent $1 million to improve the course, including a complete greens renovation that created what many consider the most undulating greens in Houston.
Getting there : From Hwy 59 south, take the Bissonnet St. exit and turn right. When you come to Country Creek Dr., turn right and the road will take you to the course.
