GOLF

Load up on the clubs and head for the golf course. Some people have to travel to another part of the world to golf in the winter season, but in Houston you can play virtually any day of the year at nearly a hundred public and private championship-quality courses in the area.

For general information on golf in Houston, visit the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau, or see specific municipal golf course information and locations at www.houstonmunicipalgolf.org.

Municipal golf courses, shown above, are Melrose (Mel), Brock (B), Memorial (Mem), Sharpstown (S), Hermann (H), Wortham (W), and Glenbrook (G).
