Huge Beautiful Course with a great layout. I haven’t gotten the chance to play it yet, only attended The Texas Children’s Houston Open hosted by PGA. The park is always clean and the Tournament is fun. There are lots of things to purchase as in Hats, Flags, Pull Overs, Golf Shirts etc. All on the top brands have merchandise like Titleist, Callaway, Taylor Made, More. You can also buy gear that has the events logo on the item. Lots of food and drinks, you can either go the kid friendly or the grown route. Wouldn’t advise mixing the two. Lots of fun, great atmosphere and an all in all great time.

Jim Crane/Astros Golf have ruined this golf course. This course used to belong to the people. The crown jewel of municipal golf in the city That has been taken from us. The course now belongs to the PGA/LPGA Tour and their sponsors. Just corporate greed at its finest Adding a 2nd tournament is an absolute joke of a decision. The recreational golfers have been left with a dumpster fire of a golf course. There is no grass on the fairways. There is dirt everywhere. What was once a beautiful golf course 365 days of the year is now a steaming piling of junk Previous to the LPGA coming, it wasn't that bad. After the PGA Tour left, we were at least left with amazing conditions for a couple months before the overseed died and went to trash. Now we are left with nothing but dirt If you do not have resident status here and are thinking "let's go play where the Pros play" DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE COME I'll break down the timeframe here of the course now December - Course closed for overseed January - overseed is growing. Course looks pretty from afar but the grass is long and shaggy. Not good February - starts to get better, starting to get nice March - Great, unbelievable. But only for about 2 weeks because they close the course April. No play for you! Sorry, the Tour is here May - 1 week of ok conditions. Another week course is closed because of the pro shop's greed hosting private tournaments June - Complete trash. Dirt everywhere. Complete Joke July - will be complete trash August - Mostly trash, maybe starting to recover September - decent October - usually in good shape by now November - solid December - start it all over again! Close the course for 3 weeks to overseed! So we get MAYBE 3 months of quality conditions. And for what in return...?

This was my first time golfing at Memorial Golf Course, and it definitely lives up to its reputation as one of Houston’s most popular courses. Booking a tee time can be challenging due to high demand. You have options to book either two weeks out or 3 days in advance, but availability is very limited. I booked on a Sunday for a Thursday round and was only able to secure a single tee time at 3:10 PM—everything else was already fully booked. I played with my father-in-law, who is an avid golfer visiting from the Philippines. As a Houston resident within the 610 Loop, I qualified for the resident rate, which was an excellent value. Twilight was $21 for 18 holes (they don’t offer 9-hole rounds). For comparison, the non-resident senior twilight rate was $80. We also rented a gold cart for $21. We were paired with two other golfers who were very friendly, and used push carts. I highly recommend walking the course or renting a push cart instead of a golf cart. Golf carts are restricted to the cart path only, and if your ball lands on the opposite side, it can be inconvenient. Walking felt easier and more enjoyable overall. The course conditions were outstanding—easily the best-maintained course I’ve ever played. The greens, fairways, and rough all immaculate. I actually played one of my best rounds here. I’m not a pro golfer—more of an occasional player, maybe playing three or four times a year—but the course felt very professional-level. We were able to play to the 11th hole before it got too dark around 530pm. That said, many of the golfers here are low-handicap players, so pace of play is important. Beginners or novice golfers should be aware that it can feel a bit fast-paced and intimidating at times. As long as you’re mindful and keep things moving, it’s a great experience. Overall, I had a very positive experience. While it can be pricey for non-residents, the resident pricing is an incredible value for a course of this quality. The course was being prepared for the PGA Tour in March, which may explain the exceptional conditions, but I’ve heard it’s well maintained year-round—and based on my experience, I believe that’s true. Highly recommend playing here if you get the chance. To get the resistance rate you do need to be houston city resident (Katy, sugarland etc doesn’t count). They do verify your ID.

The Chevron Championship Golf Tournament was my first time attending, and unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. The parking situation was frustrating from the start. A $35 parking fee felt excessive, especially after already paying for tickets. When I asked staff if there were any other parking options nearby, I was told no, that everything would be $35, and that I could “leave and come back when the event is over.” That response was rude, unhelpful, and set the tone for the visit. My friend ended up leaving because they were not willing to pay $35 just to park. After that, I still had to walk about 30 minutes just to get into the tournament. Most of my time was spent trying to figure out where I was allowed to park, being turned away from areas that were not general admission, and dealing with staff who did not seem interested in helping. In total, I was only able to enjoy about an hour and a half of the tournament. Between the inflated parking cost, poor communication, long walk, and rude staff, my first experience was honestly ruined. Based on this visit, I could not recommend this event to anyone unless they make major improvements to parking, signage, and guest services.

Memorial Park is easily one of the best golf spots in Houston. The course has a great feel to it, the range is always solid, and the whole place has that serious “real golf” atmosphere without feeling too uptight. It’s the kind of place you can go to practice, play, or just enjoy being around the game. The course is beautiful, well-kept, and challenging in the right ways. The driving range is also one of my favorite places to work on my game because it feels organized and professional. Only thing I’d change is the bucket prices. They’re definitely on the high side, especially if you go often. Other than that, Memorial Park is a top-tier public golf course and one of the best places to play in Houston.
