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.

Slowww
Staff very friendly besides old guy in white Silverado. Course was in good shape besides the drainage was awful, cart path only. They don’t do tee times so they sent us (two sum) and four other groups to “wait in line” on the first tee. Pace took 5:45.
No beer, no range, practice green is turf.
Overall I’d give it a 2/5 if your driving from Houston.
Pleasantly surprised!
Friends who grew up playing here had always told me about this course. Honestly, for me it’s a bit of a drive (almost an hour) but there was a Hot Deal and recent good reviews so I decided to give it a try. Glad I did.
The course was a much better layout than I anticipated and the fairways and greens were in really good shape and rolled true. Greens were a little slower than I’m used to so I left a few putts short but that’s totally on me though.
I will definitely be playing here again.
Great layout!! Great value!! Course needs a little TLC. Staff is fantastic!!
Great course! Not so great welcome
The course itself? Not bad at all — decent layout, fair greens, and pace of play was smooth. But the experience was soured the second I stepped into the clubhouse.
The older gentleman at check-in must moonlight as a professional buzzkill. Rude, dismissive, and acted like I was bothering him by showing up. No greeting, no hospitality, just a whole lot of attitude. If you hate people that much, maybe don’t work the front desk?
Also, a note to management: field bathrooms aren’t just “suggestions” — they need attention. Unless you’re going for that gas station-in-the-woods aesthetic, give them a clean.
Bottom line: the course deserves better representation than what’s happening at check-in. It’s a fun course and I’ll be back.
Hidden gem
Great little track for the price…..no concessions / no problem because you can take your own beverages in a cooler….was told this place was a dump but someone has turned it around above & beyond…I SHALL RETURN 👍👍👍
This course was in excellent shape.
The course was in great shape. The fairways and greens was excellent.
It’s back
One of my favorite courses, loss the greens about a year ago. Since then they’ve recovered 100%. Greens were smooth fast and true. Much improved from a year ago.
Nice course
Staff was very friendly. Course is undergoing some improvements. Can’t wait to go back in about a month to see the progress.
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.
