Houston Country Club
When Houston Country Club moved to its present Tanglewood address in the late 1950s, Robert Trent Jones was engaged to lay out a classical course that has been upgraded in recent times by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw.
In the book The American Private Golf Club Guide, Daniel Wexler writes: “the current track remains largely as Trent built it, with only three par fours in excess of 430 yards, almost no water in play, and considerably less fairway bunkering than was his norm.
The author continues: “the 511-yard dogleg right 3rd is strategically sound, and several of the par fours are challenging enough, but the only really memorable hole is the 511-yard 8th, which runs more than ninety degrees left around the corner of Buffalo Bayou.”

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
