Houston National Golf Club
About Houston National Golf Club
Houston National Golf Club sits in northwest Houston, in the Stone Gate subdivision, where its 18-hole championship layout opened in November 2000. The course was designed by Von Hagge, Smelek & Baril and is shaped by rolling hills and distinctive architectural features.
Sterling Golf acquired the club in August 2010 and undertook renovation work that included new bunkers, a rebuilt driving range, new cart paths and regrassed greens.
Practice facilities include a lighted driving range. The clubhouse holds a pro shop, and the "Back Deck" Bar and Grille serves food and drink.
