Texaco Country Club
The golf : Originally opened as a 9-holer in 1924 for
the Texas Co., TCC is the oldest existing private course in Houston that
is still in its current location. Another nine was added in 1938, creating
the full golf experience with a design that incorporated the unusual Cypress
Pond. The pond is loaded with lily pads and cypress trees, which complements
this traditional track quite well. The greens are small and undulating-difficult
targets but fairly reasonable two-putts.
No. 11 is the toughest hole at 563 yards. Considered one of the best holes
in the Houston area, it's a double dogleg that has lots of trees and Greens
Bayou to boot.
