About
Golfcrest originally opened in 1927 as the alternative to the old-money course of Houston's River Oaks, located just south of town. The facility moved to Pearland in 1965 and hired Joe Finger to rebuild the course in 1971.
Finger moved a significant amount of dirt and integrated mounding and bunkering into the predominantly flat terrain. Lakes are placed throughout the design, coming into play on 13 holes, and the greens are extremely fast with sneaky undulations. The main trick to playing Golfcrest is dealing with the wind.
Other notes: In 1932, Golfcrest experimented with night golf by installing floodlights on the front nine.
Getting there : From Hwy. 288 south take Hwy. 18 east to Country Club Dr. Turn left, drive 1 mile to the course, and look for the entrance on the right side of the street.
