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.

Beautiful course, but bring lots of balls!

This course is challenging and has a beautiful layout. But there is a lot of water and some narrow fairways so I always lose a good number of balls. Definitely worth playing!

Course was in good shape

Course was in good d shape

Some of the tee boxes were very hard and difficult to put a tee in the ground.

Near one of the greens, our cart and the cart of the person playing with us went into restricted mode. We had to down the cart path and turn the cart around and then back up the cart path past the restricted area. Both carts were on the cart path when the restricted lock out occurred. The group behind didn’t seem to have the same issue

Extremely strange
