Redstone Golf Course

The golf : Located on the site of the former George Fazio-designed El Dorado Country Club, Redstone will serve as the new home of the Shell Houston Open through 2012, as well as the centerpiece for the Fall Creek residential development. The facility will include a hotel and conference center and serve as the home for the Houston Golf Association.
Slated as the longest course in the state (7,500 yards), the course was designed by Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy, who used four of El Dorado's holes. Trees are everywhere, so much so that the design is void of fairway bunkers-a particularly unusual feature for a PGA caliber course.
Future plans include an addition 18 holes designed by Rees Jones and routed around Greens Bayou (opening 2005), as well as a 9-hole par 3 course.

The details : Hwy 59 at Beltway, Houston, TX 77030
