Gus Wortham Park Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Texas' oldest existing 18-hole track was originally built in 1908 to serve members of Houston Country Club. When the club found a new location in the 1950s, Gus Wortham bought the facility and opened it to the public with $60 annual dues. The city of Houston took over in 1973, and it's been one of the busiest courses in the state ever since.
The unique design features a trio of par 5s on holes 2-4, a rarity in golf. One of the better birdie opportunities is the 293-yard No. 9. On the back, one of Texas' signature par 3s awaits in the 250-yard No. 16.
Getting there : From I-45, take the Wakeside Blvd. Exit and travel 1 mile north to Capitol St.

Love this course
Save money playing here
Green’s scary good
Must try this course if you haven’t
Great shape
The course was in great shape. I could not believe how well all the water areas had been neatly cleaned up as well as the grass well groomed. The course is both fun and challenging. The greens were nice except for being so hard.
Great day
Excellent course, started late and barely finished before dark. Wonderful evening!
I have missed this course
Green are fantastic
Better than course s that charge twice
I recommend it
Please don't play here I want to play here
So pace of play is faster
Fantastic
This is the best shape that it's been since the renovation, rough was a little bit high,but they have a senior tournament coming up.
What a Gem!
What a great course. Greens are fast and in super nice condition. Fairways were plush.
Always Nice to Play!
Played yesterday, and i would've given ut a 5 stars but the greens were a bit sandy and the tee boxes were combined to grow in other boxes, BUT other than that this place is magnificent! Always a great course to play!
Gus for the win
Very good condition havnt played there in 10 years and I am absolutely going back asap.
Gem of a Course
Love this course. Greens in great shape as were fairways. Want to make this my home course.
Beautiful Course
This was one of the best courses i’ve played at in a long time. The course was very well kept up with. The only thing that bothered me was the pace of play. Had 2 guys in front of us all day playing slower than anyone i’ve ever seen and wouldn’t let us play through….but hey i’ll take that being the only downside.
