About
Hailed as one of the "World's Largest Private Country Clubs," the umbrella of the Kingwood clubs spans to include four courses at the main facility, as well as a fifth nearby known as Deerwood.
The Island Course, built in 1974 and considered to be one of architect Joe Finger's greatest courses, is this club's signature course because of its length and small, fast greens. In the course's first year of operation, the American Society of Golf Course Architects named the 573-yard No. 6 the Hole of the Year.
Two years later Golf Digest noted No. 18 as the toughest finishing hole in golf. This nightmare hole plays 576 yards with a lake on the left and around the green, as well as water in the middle of the fairway and on the right. If you survive the tee shot, you'll need a perfect second shot to avoid having to pull out your calculator and add up the disaster.
Getting there : From I-59 north, take the Kingwood Dr. exit and turn right. At Lake Kingwood Trail Dr., turn right and you will see the course.
