DEERWOOD CLUB

The rolling hardwood forests of northeast Houston provide a surprisingly dramatic canvas for this Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, where elevation changes of 60 feet create strategic demands rarely found in Southeast Texas golf. Water comes into play on thirteen holes, but it's the tree-lined corridors and multi-tiered greens that separate the thoughtful players from the grip-and-rip crowd. The par-4 16th epitomizes the course's character—a demanding dogleg right that threads between towering pines to a green guarded by both water and slope.
