Rated by "Texas Golfer" in 2003 as one of the Top Five Best Kept Secrets in the entire state, Pecan Lakes is an absolute gem of a course located just northwest of Houston and south of Bryan/College Station. Jay Riviere's "swan song" among his many famous Texas designs, this course blends remarkable ease of play and simply outstanding conditions.
If you have never experienced truly fantastic putting surfaces, then Pecan Lakes is a must play. You will have a wonderful time negotiating this "plantation" style layout and should feel right at home enjoying a cocktail or a bite to eat on the back porch of the clubhouse at sunset. Come on out, and make yourself at home.
Pecan Lakes is an 18-hole, par-72 daily fee golf course. The course was designed by Jay Riviere, the noted Houston golf course architect. The course is built over 200 acres, with a twenty acres of lake and waterway system defining the holes. Water may come into play on seventeen of the holes. There are fifty strategically placed bunkers to further create interest.
Most of the holes on the front nine play through a tall grove of native Pecan, Elm, and Water Oak. Three of the first four holes will play into the prevailing summer wind, making them play much more difficult than yardage indicates. The eighth hole is the strongest par four on the front nine. The entire left side has water, with the right side protected by a bunker and trees. The shot to the green must carry a larger bunker. The green is small and flat. Par on this hole will be an excellent score.
The back nine begins with two holes straight into the wind. The tenth is par four, measuring over 400 yards. Water runs along the left side of the fairway and wraps around the back of the green. The eleventh hole is the longest par five on the course, measuring 560 yards. The approach to the green must carry a thirty yard wide waterway. The 18th is one of the toughest finishing holes in the state. It measures 452 yards from the back tee. This is a sharp dog-leg left with the corner protected by two bunkers and out of bounds. The right side has water all the way to the green. The 18th green is the only green not bunkered, but there is plenty of other trouble to make the hole interesting. Birdies on this hole will be rare.
