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.

Nice course

Greens recently punched but overall course is very nice! Super slow play due to a 5 some 3 groups ahead and no help from the Marshall.

Outstanding!!

played El Dorado and it was in as good a shape as any country club in the area. Fairways are plush and greens are rolling pure. Played 18 in less than three hours. Playing from the tips is challenging but extremely fun. Highly recommend!!

Mostly good conditions

Greens were in very good shape, but the bunkers were a mess, mostly unplayable. Lots of recent rain was surely a factor, but they were much worse than other area courses I've visited recently.

6 hour round

How do allow a group of 5 to go out? It took us 6 hours to play a round. Totally unacceptable and I won’t be back to this place for a while
