Stephen F. Austin Golf Club is a
long-time favorite, especially for players on the west side of
Houston, for its scenic setting along the Brazos River. Don't come
out expecting to post a record round based on the length, as the
course is set in a pecan tree farm (still harvested every fall) and
is very tight. Enjoy the deer and the adjacent SFA State Park
campgrounds, but be sure to make camping reservations through the
Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept. during the peak camping seasons of
March-June and September-October.
While there's only one par-5 over 500 yards and the par-4s range
from 311 to 400 yards max, Stephen F., as its known to regulars,
draws its challenge from the tree-lined fairways and three of its
par-3s that range from 184 to 205 yards. There are four forced
carries due to Bollinger Creek, which runs through the course.
Come out to Stephen F. Austin and get back to nature.
