Deerwood came along in 1981 featuring a long, demanding track created by Joe Finger and Byron Nelson. Lake Houston lines the course and its water provides hazards on every hole but two. Tee shots demand length and accuracy, and the greens feature some of the most severe undulations in the Houston area.
This quality course hosted the second stage of the PGA Tour's Qualifying Tourney in 1994, and is known for its signature 13th hole, which plays 170 yards into an island green. However, many claim the 453-yard No. 4 is the most difficult around: an almost impossible hole that requires a huge drive and a long carry over water to reach the green in regulation.
Getting there : From Hwy. 59 north, take the Kingwood Dr. exit and turn right. Drive 5 miles to Forest Garden and turn right, then another mile to the course. The entrance is on the right.
