EL DORADO GOLF COURSE
OR CALL 281.403.5910
Renovated in 2009, the El Dorado golf course features a modern layout that has become a favorite public golf course in Houston. The rolling terrain is beautiful, and the undulations are unexpected for a golf course in the area. Numerous lakes and creeks make it a visually striking golf course. With 4 sets of tees that are well-spaced, the design is fair for beginner golfers and still tough for good players and professionals.
If the fairways were narrowed and the rough grown out, many believe this golf course could host a PGA event. Billy Ray Brown (PGA Tour Winner) said, "... a great job designing a new course that keeps it up with the times."
A 4-star Golf Course as rated by fellow golfers on Golf Advisor.
