El Dorado at Quail Valley Golf Course
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Cool Course
Course was in good shape.. a few greens need work but over all i enjoyed it
Last minute change
They changed the course at the last minute due to a school tournament ....There were no carts available ...What a mess...The green were in bad shape . The cart path need to be replaced. Not coming back
Nice
My wife,daughter and I played the day after new years. Course was good despite weather conditions for that day. Very challenging with rain and wind. But had a good time.
Challenging But Fun
I took my son to play this course since he was visiting from Connecticut. We skipped the driving range which is very small considering this place has two courses. The putting green needed some attention and the chipping area was closed. I like the layout of the course especially starting out with a par 5 dogleg left. There are plenty of bunker and water hazards so you need to pay attention. This place is about course management and not how far you can hit the ball. We only made it through 15 holes and mother nature decided to open the floodgates. I will definitely come back because the staff was friendly, the carts worked and you can't beat the price.
Winter conditions
Short review
Hope Course gets back to normal . The freeze made Course difficult to play, especially the soft greens and unmown fairways.
Hot deal was a reasonable price . Glad I didn’t pay full rate.
Will not play for awhile!
Awesome day for golf considering the pending inclement weather, really enjoyed playing El Dorado, Quail Valley. Hope to play it again soon!
