Chambers County Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Towns of 2,000 residents tend to offer the ultimate in confidence-building golf, which is definitely the case here at Chambers County. Most of those courses are only 9-holers, however. This 1960s-style track, built by county engineer R.T. Pinchback, boasts the full 18, which lay out over 180 acres of heavily wooded wetlands on the east side of Galveston Bay.
Pinchback's design is mostly open, although there are a few holes with narrow, tree-lined fairways. Bunkering is minimal, and the rough is manageable if you miss the fairway. Water comes into play on over half the holes.
Two holes stand out on each side. No. 6 is the most beautiful: a 428-yard tester that requires two shots over water before reaching the green. No. 18 features one of those narrow fairways, tight at only 25 yards and intimidating because it's generally into the wind. The hole bends and you'll need a 250-yard drive to reach the corner.
Getting there : Take I-10 east from Houston and exit 812. Turn right, and the course is on the left down the road.

Good course
I’ve been playing here a long time. I’ve seen and played the course when it was in pristine condition it’s a little rough right now but they are currently in the process of bringing the greens back to that prestine condition. I heard they are doing the same greens rivers oaks use now. I will always golf here atleast once a month as I cycle through about 3-4 different courses a month. Love the course and I always will no matter how it is. Staff is always friendly and inviting. Can’t wait for this place to get back up to what it used to be!
value for the cost
The greens had a fungus attack they were HORRIBLE. I USE TO PLAY THIS COURSE WHEN I FIRST STARTING OUT JUST NEED TO PUT A LITTLE BIT OF WORK INTO IT AND THE GREENS WILL BE BETTER..#14 GREEN IS TERRIBLE
Off the beaten path, casual, fun
This is a nice golf course that plays through some fairly wooded acreage. Although every hole is framed by trees, for the most part they are sparse enough - and the fairways wide enough - that with a few exceptions decent drives will go unpunished. The greens were in very nice shape and rolled very true. Fairways and roughs were soggy and not at the level of the greens, but it did not detract from the round at all, and probably reflects a good use of resources by course management.
The course tips out a 6,800 which, in combination with pretty slow fairways, presents a stout golf course from the Blue Markers. The course had few cars in the lot when I arrived without a tee time at 10am on a nice Saturday morning and I was able to walk the course in under 2.5 hours.
Chambers update
Considering lack of rain, course was in great shape! Not really busy for a Saturday.
Amazing go play
What a gem! To play this course you won’t regret it! Staff is very friendly too!
So so
We went to driving range first and Marshall asked ya to start on #10 no problem. After we finished 18 they told us the front 9 was closed so they could fertilize the greens, so we had to play the back again.
Great course
Course is in great condition overall. Very friendly staff. I recommend this course to any one wanting to try out a great course.
Chambers County Course
Amazing course with amazing staff. They’re actively working on the cart path and have beautiful fairways. One or two dirt spots on the greens but overall a great course at a great price. Not a lot as far as concessions go so bring your snacks and drinks with you.
Great Greens
Course is well maintained and the greens are in great shape.
Very well kept course.
Very well kept course. Great staff. Overall very enjoyable afternoon. I will definitely be playing there a lot.
Good Course for the price!
Tee boxes, and fairways were in good shape. The greens were fair as well. Nothing bad to say, except the flooding on the cart paths. Muddy areas on the way to the greens. But that's because of the rain the night before.
Great overall experience
The staff is friendly and respectful. The course is always in the best shape possible.
narrow fairways
if you can keep it in the fairway you can get a good score
Pleasant Surprise, Good Shape, Nice Greens
A little ways out from Houston. Went there on a recommendation. Found it to be in very good shape. The greens were really nice. This one is fairly good especially for the price.
