Clear Creek Golf Club has been part of the golf scene in south Houston since opening in 1987–88, when Joe Finger, Ken Dye, and Baxter Spann routed an 18-hole, par-72 layout drawing on the rolling, wind-exposed character of Scottish links golf. The course sits against the mature trees of Tom Bass Park, with water coming into play on several holes.
Playing roughly 6,768 to 6,917 yards from the back tees, the public course mixes water hazards, tree-lined fairways, and maintained greens, asking for strategic shot-making while remaining playable for a range of skill levels. Its location puts it within reach of downtown Houston, the Texas Medical Center, and the Galleria.
Practice facilities include a driving range and a putting area. The clubhouse holds a golf shop and a bar and grill, and the club hosts golf clinics, tournaments, and group outings.
