The Birth of Houston Golf Nut

I’ve got to tell you, there are a ton of golf courses in Houston.  I’ve only been in Houston for a few years, but only started playing golf seriously about a year ago.  Before that, I played only a handful of times a year.

My recent addiction started about a year ago.  I found this cheap little golf course, Melrose place (close to I-45 and Airport Blvd), where I could play for about $15 on the weekend.  Of course, it’s only a rinky-dink par 3 course that’s in crappy condition at best, but that’s not the point.  It got me playing almost every weekend, which led to getting lessons, which led to playing more courses, which led to trying to playing the same 2 or 3 courses all the time, which led to joining a golf league, which led to deciding to start this blog!

One of the things that disappointed me about golf in Houston had nothing to do with actually playing golf in Houston, but more to do with finding courses close to where I lived that were reasonably priced.  I couldn’t find any golf sites out there that intuitively provided good content about Houston golf.  There are a lot of national sites that sprinkle in Houston golf courses, but they pretty much suck in my opinion.

Over time, my goal is to build this site around Houston golf, including course reviews, an interactive map displaying all area golf clubs, my own personal ramblings about my own crappy attempt at being a good golfer, and whatever else comes to mind.

Welcome!
