Beacon Lakes Golf Club

About Beacon Lakes Golf Club

This public track in Dickinson sits in the flat coastal terrain southeast of Houston, where the Gulf Coast prairie meets suburban development. The layout takes advantage of the natural wetlands and water features that dot this part of Texas, with several holes playing alongside ponds and drainage areas that come into play more than you'd expect. The course allows walking, which is increasingly rare for Houston-area public golf, though the humid climate makes that a challenging proposition most of the year. The 3.2 Google rating from over 300 reviews tells you what you need to know about expectations here - this isn't destination golf, but rather a no-frills option for locals looking to get their rounds in without breaking the bank. Conditioning can be inconsistent depending on the season and recent weather, which is par for the course at many Texas public facilities dealing with brutal summers and unpredictable rainfall. If you're in the Dickinson area and need to scratch the golf itch, it'll do the job, but don't make a special trip from across town when Houston has better public options.
