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.

Really enjoyed the course—well maintained and fun to play. The only hazard I wasn’t prepared for was traffic. Road holes added a element of adrenaline to an otherwise relaxing round.

Challenging course!!
Great condition of the course and greens.
Very challenging for beginners/intermediate players, especially playing from blue tees.
Way to crowded (flys of 5 allowed!!). Playing pase was too slow.
Overall a great course to try
