East River 9 sits on the north bank of Buffalo Bayou, within a mile of downtown Houston, and is the only nine-hole, par-3 course inside the 610 Loop.
The layout uses two staggered tee boxes on every hole, so each of the nine greens can be approached from two different angles, allowing golfers to play two distinct nine-hole rounds. LED lighting across the course makes evening play possible.
