Playing Houston CC with my uncle on Friday and I've never played the course before, only been to the clubhouse.

Anyone have any reviews/tips/tricks?

Play ProVs and act rich.

Change your shoes in the parking lot and talk on your cell phone as much as possible. And wear cargo shorts...

Kidding - it can be a pretty stuffy place but you'll enjoy it. The clubhouse is a mess under construction right now though.

Ask yourself, what would a longhorn do, and do that.

It's been 40 years since I played in a HGA Junior tournament there so I don't have much to offer other than to keep the ball in the fairway.

Best of luck - I'm jealous.

I got the stuffy vibe from the debutante ball I attended there.

Looks like it'll be interesting because I'm having a hard time keeping it in the fairway

Cargo shorts and the untucked golf shirt is definitely the way to go. Don't forget the boombox for the cart.

Walk into the pro shop yelling "gimme 2 of those, 6 of those".

This is probably not the best place to get advice about this. Is anyone here rich enough to belong to a place with stuffy debutante balls? Try to get invited to Bear Creek next time.

Whatever you do, don't ask about:

1. How much they paid to renovate hole #8
2. The amount each member was assessed for the clubhouse renovation

Other than that, have fun. It's not as stuffy as you might think.

I figured there were enough well connected Ags that would have played there to give a few pointers on how to play the course or any gimicky holes that might need to know something ahead of time about.

Guess i'll just be like Bryson and hit it as far as I can and try to find it and hit it again.

I've played it a couple times. Old school, not very difficult. Decent greens as you would expect. Pretty forgettable to be honest.

Its a really fun course! I'm lucky to get to play there frequently. A few tips:

Dont hit driver on 3 unless you can stop the roll out under 225. Go longer than that, and you dont have a 2nd shot.
7 is the weirdest hole on the whole place. Go with a 5-6 iron off the tee and leave yourself a nice easy shot into the green. Dont go up into the sand straight off the tee.
You cant cut too much off of 8 without going into the edge of the bayou- wish i could follow this advice myself lol

Have fun!
