The Clubs at Houston Oaks -- located in Hockley, Texas, about 45 minutes northwest of downtown Houston -- is slated for a soft opening later this year.
The Houston area is set to be home to Tiger Woods Design's first U.S. golf course. Bluejack National, built on the site of the former Blaketree National, may open as early as 2015.
LostGolfBalls.com harvests and sells balls from more than 2,400 courses. The truth is, balls are so well made today that they can spend a few nights or even weeks in the water and come out just fine.
After several incarnations of the old Tennwood Country Club (later Houston Oaks Golf Club, which was open to the public), Houston Oaks has 18 premium holes to compete with the best in the Houston area.
It's no secret that Tiger Woods loves Augusta, and Bluejack National in Montgomery, Texas -- his first U.S. design -- has that feel. But there are plenty of original ideas too.
Augusta Pines Golf Club in Spring, Texas -- which boasts features inspired by Augusta and Pinehurst -- remains one of the Houston area's best public plays.
