About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 71
Length 6931 yards
Slope 138
Rating 74.6

Developers eventually had their way with this cow pasture on the fringe of Houston. Loaded with native pecans and oaks and supplemented with even more transplanted trees, the terrain is ideal for golf, with two creeks and five natural lakes on the property. In fact, it's good enough to host the PGA Tour's Houston Open in 1973 and 1974.

The traditional El Dorado Course plays to a par 70 and features five par 3s that go 190-yards-plus from the tips. Jay Riviere designed the back nine.

Jeff Blume managed the redesign and complete renovation of the El Dorado Course in 2009.

Enjoyable round

Course was in excellent condition and didn’t encounter any problems except for some tee boxes that are very hard to put a tee in.

Weird layout and insufficient staff and no golf cart in hot summer day!

The course is in with a residential community with houses , cars, people and roads mixed with holes, hard to navigate. No one at proshop and only one person at the course. As a result, he refused to provide golf cart that was included in the fee. I had to carry my bag and walked in the extremely hot Houston summer weather with thunder and lighting in and out. As a result I could only do 9 holes but I paid for 18 holes. Terrible experience!

Top 5 conditions in Houston

So this course is probably top 5 courses in Houston. Played on a Monday as a single and had the course to myself. Green’s were near perfect. Course is through a residential neighborhood so slicers beware. Fairways were in perfect condition.

Outstanding course

Greens had been punched within the month but played smoothly. However, at 95 degrees and minimal wind, no cart girl was seen. I left due to heat exhaustion before the back nine. If it’s as nice as the front, this complex (with LaQuinta as the other course) is one of the best in Houston.
