With the Deerwood, Island, Forest and Lake courses, you have the opportunity to test your game on championship Houston golf courses that have hosted numerous tournaments and provide Members with a challenging, visually attractive and enjoyable Kingwood golf course experience.
Deerwood
Deerwood, an 18-hole championship golf course, was meticulously designed by renowned golf architects Joe Finger and Ken Dye in collaboration with the legendary golfer Byron Nelson. It poses a significant challenge for golfers and has been the venue for prestigious events like the Champions Tour and the Doug Sanders Celebrity Classic. Each round at Deerwood requires golfers to navigate demanding tee shots through narrow, tree-lined fairways and negotiate swift greens, where sinking straight putts is a rare feat. Noteworthy, is that Hole 13 was the setting for one of the most iconic movie scenes from Tin Cup—the 72nd of the US Open, where Roy McAvoy faced a memorable challenge and holed out for a 12.
