Gus Wortham Park Golf Course

About Gus Wortham Park Golf Course

You'll find this municipal track tucked away in southeast Houston, and while it won't win any beauty contests, it delivers solid golf at a price that won't break the bank. The layout makes clever use of limited real estate, with several holes playing around and over water features that come into play more than you'd expect. What sets Wortham apart from other city courses is its surprisingly mature tree-lined fairways and the fact that you can walk it comfortably – a rarity among Houston's sprawling municipal offerings. The course condition punches above its weight class for a public facility, and the 4.4-star rating from over 500 reviews tells you everything about the value proposition here. Local knowledge helps on several blind or semi-blind approach shots, but nothing feels unfair. If you're looking for a no-frills round where you can focus on your game without the pretense or premium pricing of Houston's resort courses, this is your spot.
