Golf Club of Houston (Member)
The Member course at the Golf Club of Houston is a formidable Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy co-design which changed ownership in 2003, the same year the club hosted the first of three Shell Houston Opens.
The original 18-hole golf course at this location belonged to El Dorado Country Club and it was a George Fazio design, opening in 1964. In the early 1990s, the club closed due to the economic downturn in the Houston economy.
The Redstone Golf Club was then established in 2002 and the redesigned course quickly held three editions of the Houston Open, won by Fred Couples in 2003 then Vijay Singh in 2004 and 2005. The event was then staged on the club’s Tournament course up until 2019.
The club was acquired by Escalante Golf of Forth Worth in April 2013 and renamed that December to the Golf Club of Houston.
